American kids are more cynical than any other groups of kids I've worked with. I think this is the case because we, as a country, have gotten a little confused about the family's values of standing up for what's right, apologizing when wrong and moral courage. People act according to their values when it's easy and everyone is getting along, but act totally against our values when we perceive someone is doing us wrong.
