From birth, a child first socialise with his parents, their most important source of knowledge in the society. From the very moment the child can use their senses, they are unconsciously absorbing forces that shape them whether they like it or not. It is true to say that it is controversial if values and behaviours are "poured" into someone with no control on whether to accept it. But the naivete of a child with no past experience will absorb it because they have not been educated on what is right and wrong. So the role of the parents are crucial to the development of the child.

Even if the parent is poor or rich, they can guide the child to have strong character and integrity. However in this capitalistic society, moral values seems to be eroding. The only factor that constrains them are the rules and law that govern them. Is this what it should be? Having someone to watch over you so that you can behave?

Look at the increase in surveillance cameras. Look at them in Suntec City(especially the convention centre), look at them in shopping malls, speeding/red-light cameras and even on streets!!! The methods used are for short term but how many more can be added? How about installing it in the toilet?

The widening differentiation of institutions are to accomodate the problems in society. But how small can it be divided? Even our body that can be differentiated to organs, cells, molecule, atoms, neutrons, radicals etc has a limit. Does it mean that a revolution will take place after further differentiation cannot be done? This wont occur in our time or maybe in this century. But sooner or later it would happen because everything in this world is about equilibrium.

When stock markets rises to exuberant levels, it will eventually fall. When supply and demand is at disequilibrium, soon or later something will happen to force it to be in equilibrium. It's just a matter of time. It can wait but we can't cause our time is always ticking away.
