  1. Societies should teach their children the right way to live.
  1. Your society cares about you and has the best interest in your future in mind when it makes you do things (e.g. school).
  1. It’s okay to lie to people.
  1. Most people are too young when they have to make life’s important decisions and are not capable of making the best choices for their future lives.
  1. People know when they are doing wrong or evil things.
  1. We would be better off without pain.
  1. Smaller communities are better than very large communities.
  1. If everyone in society follows the rules we set up, then we can get rid of the problems we experience.
  1. Most people don’t make very good choices, so it would be better if society chose our spouses for us.
