What was good about raising Spartan boys? What can cause your judgment?

The Spartan system of teaching the boys was brutal and harsh. Having matured, they became not only good warriors, but also cruel people. Perhaps the Spartans are justified by the time in which they lived. In order to survive, they kept the society on brutal discipline. It is difficult for a person living in the 21st century to judge whether the Spartan method of teaching boys is good or bad. At that time, the Spartans needed warriors and they made of the boys staunch, courageous soldiers who considered the highest destiny to fall on the battlefield.
