Good behaviour begins at home – Transparency International Vanuatu
Transparency International Vanuatu is urging parents to take greater responsibility in teaching their children about respect, discipline and human rights.
The Vanuatu Daily Post reports that Transparency International Vanuatu CEO, Dr. Willie Tokon says the foundation of good behaviour begins at home, with parents guiding their children to understand both their rights and the rights of others.
The report says Dr. Tokon expressed concern about the rising cases of misbehaviour among youth, particularly those referred to as “Joss and Joslyn,” who often misuse their freedoms through drunkenness and public disturbance.
It adds that Dr. Tokon emphasised that having rights also means accepting responsibilities and ensuring one’s actions do not harm others. The publication further reports that Dr. Tokon reflected on traditional values and practices from earlier generations, where family meals and community discipline taught respect, obedience, and proper conduct.
