Tales from childhood: "Words" we need to know.

Sophie's granny and mother didn't tell bad words. Sophie heard some new phrases in the school and yard. But she never repeated them.

It was a nice day. Sophie went for a walk. In the porch she heard a loud voice.

Little Sophie understood many words in this conversation. She just didn't understand one of them. Sophie heard a new word for the first time.

She talked about this word with Natalie and other friends. They didn't know that new word, either.

So, Sophie decided to use it. She said this new "word" in the kitchen.

"Don't say it! This is a bad word!" the mother said.

Sophie felt shock. She didn't know that this word isn't good. She started analyzing.

Mom calmed down and decided to explain everything. Maybe Sophie was a child.

"Dear Sophie, you must ask me about new words," Sophie's mother said.

"I understand," Sophie said with silent voice.

Now, she always asks her mother and grandmother about new words and phrases. Also, Sophie never said this word.

Tales from childhood: Our heroes!

Sophie felt the lights of a sun on her face. She woke up after a long sleep. Little Sophie thought about Victory Day.

It was a spring morning. Sophie went to school with red flowers. It was a gift for veterans.

“Give flowers to strange people! It’s strange!” a stupid boy said.

“These people gave a peace for us,” the teacher said.

Little Sophie and Johnny went to congratulate a veteran. This old woman worked in a school. She was short and her position was modest. But the veteran went through the whole war! She worked and fought.

“Congratulations!” the children said.

The school worker was very glad! It was important for her. She smiled.

During break time high school students cared for the veterans. Little Sophie and her classmates saw them in Assembly Hall.

Also, children told about their grandparents. Little Sophie was proud of her granny.

Next day Sophie visited a parade in her town.  She understood many serious things.

“I think that veterans accomplished a feat,” little Sophie said.

“Yes, it’s true,” Sophie’s mother said.

Ethics.

Ethics (ἠθικόν) means "moral nature" in Greek language. This science is a part of another study philosophy.

In Ancient Greece Plato and Socrates studied ethics. So, science about human behavior had a long and interesting history.

Ethics had a Golden Rule: "the principle of treating others as you want to be treated."

Students study this science during school lessons. Also, ethics can be part of social studies. Teachers teach children good behavior.

Etiquette had many rules about society and relationships. What can and can't people be asked about. How to start conversations in a place. Good manners are important for etiquette and ethics.

This science changed through history. Many different aspects had their own unique rules for behavior.
