It's ironic that I'm reading this article and one of the questions is: "what gets in the way of the ethical mind?" Gardner mentions that the behavior of students shows that there is an increase in cheating and doing whatever it takes to succeed.
Right here in CNY a group of current and former students at FM High School are accused of tampering with their student transcripts and the headline in the Post-Standard is "Why Kids Cheat". What's going on? Is it due to the pressure that people are under,or do they feel that they can get away with it and can forget about what is right and wrong?
Because there are different influences on children, parents need to make sure they continue to do the right thing by setting a positive example, being part of their children's lives and guide them in the right direction. DB

For me, Gardner's advice to the leader to "undergo positive periodic inoculations" is absolutely critical. Here, he is asking a leader to periodically rethink what he or she is doing. Reflection is important. Thanks.
