lacks moral care of a responsible parent.
Explanation
The boy in long pants believes the boy in short parts was “rewarded” for a good deed because his mother gave him one packet of biscuit—even though he could afford to buy six himself. This shows he does not understand the true value or purpose of doing good deeds, nor what constitutes a meaningful reward. Such misconceptions reflect a lack of proper civic understanding.
Civic Education teaches:
-
The importance of intrinsic motivation for good deeds,
-
Understanding personal and social responsibility,
-
Differentiating between meaningful values and trivial rewards.
