Unfortunately, our society isn't showing that it is teaching it's young people much in the way of values-or morals, if you will. Read some of the subjects on the research done on how people in their 20-30's live their lives. Our organizations didn't start out advocating these standards, so did the standards become a moving target? It is where our organizations get their risk management exposure from. Of course you have to "build" on what you get-but you also need to use the recomendation forms, have alums do a better job, instead of rubber stamping those they take in, and weeding out those who aren't quality people, long before they get initiated, before they ruin the organization. Most of the money that is paid into as dues goes to paying for risk insurance policies, because there is such a problem with this new generation of young people (with their moral system already in place before they got to the organization) not respecting the organization or deciding to make it something other than what it was intended to be. WE are wanting the same things-we are just stating it in different ways.
