Moral standards replaced by feelings

@chisa96 Said

Our human morality and "feelings" is what dictated the judeo-christian standards in the first place.

With the death of Judeo-Christian God-based standards, people have simply substituted feelings for those standards. Millions of American young people have been raised by parents and schools with “How do you feel about it?” as the only guide to what they ought to do. The heart has replaced God and the Bible as a moral guide. And now, as Brooks points out, we see the results. A vast number of American young people do not even ask whether an action is right or wrong. The question would strike them as foreign. Why? Because the question suggests that there is a right and wrong outside of themselves. And just as there is no God higher than them, there is no morality higher than them, either.

America is in a state of moral bankruptcy. We need to get back to the good old fashioned values of our parents and grandparents. My dad seldom layed a hand on me but I still see my gramps in my memory, raising his fist and saying, "I'll knock ya on yer ass".

I have often thought about what is referred to as 'good old fashioned values' , I was raised mostly by my dads parents and their idea of an 'unhappy kid' was one that wasn't doing something constructive and their was never any talk about allowance for chores , they stood firm on the concept that we had a roof over our heads , clothes on our backs and all we could eat 3 times a day and in return we were expected to help out around the place . My grand dad had an eagle eye for finding a chore for any kid he spotted that wasn't doing something.
Some kids today won't do anything without the promise of being paid an allowance . I have a niece that 'pays' her 3 kids each $20.00 a week for keeping their own rooms picked up and helping her do the light house work. And by helping her ,I mean they will only help her do something if she is doing some chore. They won't do the dishes or dust or yard work without a parent doing the same . It seems that this kind of thing is the 'norm' for families in my nieces ' neighborhood' .
My neices kids respond with disbelief and statements like 'slave drivers ' and ' that's just so very wrong' when they hear how their great grand parents thought an unhappy kids 'problem' was .
