Staci, that’s a great question. I remember learning in high school about the development of morality, in which the final step of the process is acting morally simply because an individual feels the need to look out for the needs of complete strangers, regardless of whether there is a personal benefit. That concept didn’t fully make sense to me; I was busy going out at 2 am with my buddies, driving cars into trash cans the night before trash pickup day in the suburbs. I don’t believe that I had fully developed the ability to see the viewpoint from the receiving end of my actions. The fun came from the fact that we didn’t want to get caught, not from the idea that we were victimizing people. My friends and I eventually had a conversation in which it dawned on us that we felt bad for the people who had to pick up in our wake. Realizing the effects that our actions were causing was ultimately the reason that we moved to less destructive forms of entertainment.
