The discourse of ethics among adolescents

Abstract

Today's issues, which have a delicate interest and specific consequences for society, are either hidden or discovered. Technology has been a form of spur, for its not only giant but accelerated pace, which encourages the discussion of what is possible and what is correct.

As adults, we often underestimate the capacities of adolescents and children. Adolescence is an age, it is a period and it is unknown. It is not just the urge for independence, which explodes in the boy who grew up docile and obedient. We need to see it as the time of greatest vulnerability to survive, to preserve intact the functions that will allow us to develop and prepare to live in society, to learn to be thrown without throwing ourselves into the void, reckless without being reckless, fearful without being cowardly, correct without being politically correct. The right decisions are rare during those years because the frontal and prefrontal lobes of the brain are still developing.
