Modern ethics, or school ethics, are a tool of indoctrination.

What you're being taught isn't necessarily false, but some of it (might be a lot depending where you live) is just one side of the picture. It's manipulative, as designed.

It'd be true to say that slave owners or dictators are people just like the rest of us. They may not be living perfect lives, and perhaps sometimes they struggle with one issue or another.

But it completely ignores the other side of the equation. On one side a single person is frustrated because they still can't find the perfect mega yacht to purchase with spare change they had lying around. On the other countless people are starving to death, with no way to change their fate.

Keep in mind this is just one topic that may or may not be brought up during an ethics class, depending where you live and what school you go to. It's by no means representative of every education system everywhere.
