Is it better to teach children mostly how to survive (in an extreme sense) and take care of themselves or how to be a societal norm (thereby ensuring they have friends and family their whole life who will likely help them to survive)?

Teaching children how to survive and how to take care of themselves provides a greater reward than teaching them how to depend on others who may or may not be there for them. I have always been a firm believer in depending on myself before relying on others.

Is it better to leave a menial tip for a waitress/waiter or not tip at all?

I don’t dine out unless I can afford to tip and I only tip average for average service, excellent for excellent service. If the service is poor I speak with the server and give them a chance to improve, correct it because that is how they learn. If after speaking with them the service still continues to be poor then I don’t leave just a few pennies, it’s definitely better to leave nothing and speak with management if service has really been all that appallingly bad.
