CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Today's young people are a source of growing social and academic concern. According to the Carnegie Corporation, nearly half of some 28 million adolescents in the Nigeria between the ages of ten and seventeen are moderately or extremely vulnerable to "multiple high-risk behaviors" such as school failure, drugs and alcohol, unsafe sex, and violence that puts their future in serious jeopardy. Although these problems exist in all classes and groups, they are intensified by the decline in harmonious two-parent families, economic and social adversity, most pronounced in urban areas, and among the poor and minorities. It is often assumed the schools serves as potential agents of socialization which influences the formation of political nuns, values and attitudes among children. It is also believed that education is an effective instrument for socializing the young through promotion of desirable socio-cultural values, creation of political awareness which prepares the youth to perform their function to the nation effectively as they grow up.

Developing and understanding one’s political ideology is not an easy task, and usually does not occur overnight. For many high school students, that development may vary often and change with his or her environment, teachers and friends. Furthermore, developing a political ideology is not the most important goal for many high school students. Many high school students believe political awareness and being politically active as an adult duty.

High school students, who often have these feelings, are unaware of their own personal political beliefs. Thus, many high school students tend to accept the views of their parents/guardians and/or close relatives as their own. As such parent political awareness can change these narratives among students.  Often times without giving any real or meaningful thought to the political issues at hand (Willia et al 2007).

Accepting the political views of parents, as one’s own without thought is a major concern for government teachers, since a main objective of government teachers is to help create effective citizens and engage them in effective deliberation regarding beliefs and values of governance and politics (Gutmann,1987). Either we must educate children so that they are free to choose among the widest range of lives (given the constraints of cultural coherence) because freedom of choice is the paramount good, or we must educate children so that they will choose the original life that we believe is best because leading a virtuous life is the paramount good. Let children define their own identity or define it for them. Give children liberty or give them virtue. Neither alternative is acceptable: we legitimately value education not just for the liberty but also for the virtue that it bestows on children; and the virtue that we value includes the ability to deliberate among competing conceptions of the good.
