Although each of these various factors could alone have a powerful influence, it's likely that most or all play a part at some time. The greatest determining influence in a child's life is the power of example, and children model the examples of adults. Children who are in the presence of adults who have strong moral values are more likely to acquire good morals than children not exposed to the same values. The adults with whom children will have the most contact are parents and teachers. The answer to the first question may be affirmative or negative.
Children observe how parents behave when subjected to discipline.
An example of discipline could be a requirement for a parent to report to a job on time each workday. Another example of discipline is a traffic sign or signal. Those signs and signals serve a function of providing direction and safety. Some parents may choose to overtly ignore policies in the workplace, and even share their disrespect for rules with their children. Adults, especially parents, may also show disregard for the rules of the road while driving.
