A lot of debate always goes on after an incident such as the recent school shooting. But IMHO, one of the main reasons behind those shootings is hardly acknowledged. Although western culture has given us almost everything we enjoy today, one main thing our Asian culture trumps over Western culture are family values. Whereas in the West, children are assumed as adults at a tender age and kicked out of the house to fend for themselves, it is not so in our culture. Here you have a mother who takes her son for target practice and teaches her son how to shoot. In our culture such a thing would not happen as a mother would be scared and keep her child away from guns. She would go "Abuieeeeeeeeeeee!"
Parenting should not stop at teenage, parents should always guide their children even when they are adults. Such guidance and love are missing in western culture. I am all for gun control but IMHO, they are not sole problem. The problem is absense of proper parenting.
