The right and wrong clip draws a conclusion to the fact that children look up to their parents to learn and follow in their footsteps. When parents focus on less important morals, their children tend to not know the difference between good and “bad”.

His parents are bringing him up to their strong values and beliefs, making it hard for him to live up to.
