Sociology

I think it is in the states best interest to be more involved in parenting, even to the point of controlling what is taught in the home. Children are the future and if children are not taught moral values or social manners, society will become more corrupt and less friendly. Children learn moral values mostly from their parents. What kids see their parents doing become morally and socially acceptable. If a kids parents do not have good moral standards, those standards are most likely being passed down to the kid with even some more corrupt moral values. By the state monnetering, and controlling if necessary, what is being put into the mind of children through school involvement and social workers average check-ups we can help get society back on track. As Christians we value the home because it is a place where children learn christian values. These values will help shape and guide them through their life.

The only problem that could come about through this process of state regulated home is if the state pushed the wrong moral values, such as homosexuality or athiesm. These views would be contradictory to the traditional christian home. The state being involved with the home is a great idea as long as the values the state would be pushing were solid christian values. In today's society I wouldn't like state controlling the home because there are not enough christian values in the values of the state. It is a good idea but not the right time for action to be taken place.
