I've thought about this a lot lately, especially since having kids. It really hit me how much non-verbal and indirect communication they pick up on. I want my kids to be good people, better than me, and I worry they are picking up on my short comings.

I think society is like that. We say sharing is good and we teach sharing, but a disproportionate group that takes everything, that is selfish, that puts there priorities above others.. that behavior is rewarded, intentionally or not. And generations go by and the behavior is normalized.

I like (and shudder) to think alot of history is a series of these little oversteps that the masters of the universe are laughing about at the time.. "trickle down economics, can you believe they are buying this shit?!" And 50 years later, after 2 generations the supporters forgot it was all a scam and are genuinely believers.
