While reading the classics it has dawned on me that there was a time where community had its place in the teachings of the children of the age. That because of a common moral, ethical and religious foundation, coupled with a common nursing ground (e.g. The nursery or village) the children grew learning these traits. From a macro viewpoint, a child would essentially be tutoured by default in social and communal ethics, and by the environment learn aspects of religious and communative properties.
Everything that is taught by parents or daycare centers in our age. As a keen result of such a practice, a common child is brought up to understand the world as an entity that is too vast to comprehend rather then a world to explore, with a home base to return to when needed.
This in turn facilitates the propagation of limited post-modernism, where truth is unattainable and everything is relative upon the beholder.
