"Over the course of this term, we've looked a lot at your personal moral stance on things. Today we're going to be looking more generally - on how morals are taught to children, often insidiously.

"A good medium for this is fairy tales. Every culture has them - stories that are told to children, bearing little moral gems to shape and guide. The first thing I want you to do is a select a fairy tale. Don't worry if it's not one I'll know, just pick one you're familiar with."

Tara laughs softly. "Yes. Snotty people suck. So are you comfortable with the moral lessons that teaches children? Sometimes people suck, and you have to fend for yourself?"

John looks at Tara for longer than socially acceptable before stating, flatly, "Yes. And then the robots come."
