I know this is done in a simple way in some primary schools, but I think it would be beneficial to teach this across the board, all the way through primary and secondary education. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

It seems to me that many problems across the full spectrum of classes stem from differing levels of selfishness or an ignorance of the ethical impact of certain actions/beliefs.

If ethics was taught then it would have some impact on some young people's behaviour and hopefully change some beliefs and actions.
