What possibly could be the circumstances that would make someone so indifferent to human life that he wouldn't bat an eyelid at the thought of killing thousands of people. The World Trade Center tragedy sent shockwaves around the world, as the carefully orchestrated plan wreaked devastation on so many innocent people.

Is it something in the genes of these people that make them so inhuman Or is it in their upbringing.

Teach your children the importance of a human life. More importantly, teach your children to love. The future of the next generation is in your hands. Talk about it! Shirish replied. Parents should not forget that children are influenced by their surroundings. If you use coarse language and encourage violence, your kids will do the same too. Fraser replied. I agree totally. Children should be taught the importance of self-restraint by abstention from violence, falsehood, theft, incontinence and greed. How else can our world be a better place? But parents need to be educated first, else how could they help their children? Nilu replied. I think the first lesson agaisnst violence should be taught to a child at home.
