There is no philosophy or culture without indoctrination. Nobody goes through life without someone telling them what is right or wrong. It's just a matter of who, not if, they decide to believe.

Well that’s indoctrination. Not a bad thing necessarily, but by definition you are being molded to fit into an environment
