This document discusses how society influences children to have poor manners. It argues that society tries to tell children what is good or bad for them, and schools have a major influence. Children want to be "cool" and fit in with peer groups, so they will do anything to stay in those groups, even if it means adopting bad behaviors like cursing or stealing. The internet can also influence children negatively by exposing them to cursing. Overall, the document suggests that society pressures children into making bad decisions in order to gain acceptance from their peers, which can lead to poor manners.
