We should do more in using entertainment not just to entertain but also to impart important lessons, especially moral ones.

I watched The Paper Tigers last night, and I was at first bothered by (not really a spoiler) the father asking his son to lie to his mother... they came through in the very end by making it clear that behavior was wrong, but I feel this doesn't happen often enough. I think we as a society do not take advantage of the unique opportunity entertainment provides in imparting useful life lessons by explicitly illustrating the harms of bad behavior and the benefits of good behavior, especially important in this age when most societies around the world largely ignore moral development in their education curricula and mostly focus on cramming technical knowledge... 🤐
