    Like wise Kohlberg once said “The child can internalize the moral values of his parents and culture and make them his own only as he comes to relate these values to a comprehended social order and to his own goals as a social self”. Kohlberg demonstrates that the apple never falls far from the tree, that a child does not only inherit genetic characteristics, but also absorbs behaviors from their parents.

The characters in To Kill a Mockingbird embody what really happens in our society. Studies say that when a parent is more intelligent than most then their child will have a better chance of being smart.…
