Today we are living totally in a uncivilized society. Morals and values are just the past. People are just fulfilling their desires and needs and they don't care of any thing. They forget their ethical values and duties towards society and the country.
Corruption, greediness, untruth, anger is taking a place in their life's. |

Moral Value are just two words today for indians because if you see a accident and injured person nobody would stop and help him. Many times we see wrong things happens but we don't care about it. We pay bribe to police man and then say system is bad and corrupted. Its depend on individual what he want to take from society and what not to take. Our parents taught us moral and values well but how many implement it and use it in our daily life.
Thank you. |

| Yes this statement truly and totally a right one. Its depressing to see the newspaper early in the morning to witness various murder and rape cases. Programs telecasting about various ill-treatments of woman and deaths and accidents score a greater a viewing rate as compared to any discovery channel or something useful (not really these days). Do you expect any gram of morals and values from such a society. The main cause for the rise of such uncivilised grounds of terror and hatred is just the result of inappropriate educational values right from the childhood and nil importance to human values which need to be imbibed to the student at an early level. The increasing practise of doing everything just for the sake of money has killed the minute pieces of kindness making them dormant forever. Practising morals has become so rare and can be even said extinct that anyone following the basic morals is considered mad, sane and a scapegoat for all. One seeing today's India can never wholeheartedly admit this was birth place of great personalities like Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru and never believe this was where Mother Teresa did miracles in helping the poor and disabled and now can we ever even imagine of such personalities to be born again!. |

| I think the one who exhibits or acts with his or her morals becomes a laughing stock. So eventually he loses belief in them and starts resorting to corrupts means. But still I won't say morals and values are completely degrading. They are their somewhere deep inside the heart of every person. Everybody should just learn to abide them come what may. Sticking to your moral is actual test of the person character and a great challenge. |

Moral Values among Indian seems to be degenerating is more true. One reason for thsi visibility is more exposure to media and technology and there is a lot of bollywood influence.
But to assume that moral values were better than before is questinable. Divorce rate is higher is because of education, awareness and women empowernment. Not because moral ethics were followed. People are coming out more in the open now. Indians live in a hypocritical society where a lot of things are hidden, manipulated under social pressure. |

| Moral is the principle whether the thing is right or wrong. So a question arises which is right which is wrong. This can only be known through experience and understanding the things around us. If you ask me does indians lack in moral I would say yes noone is perfect in this world atleast a person can try to follow moral values. I ask people not to help others atleast don disturb others and curb their growth by stealing others works. Bribery, corruption, lack of humanity, respect for others feelings, selfishness and lot more things are reflected in a persons life. Are these good qualities does these help build a better society never. We people have to change. Understand the things around us respect it develop good qualities. |

Where is Morals.. Today, 'Moral' is a word which is just limited to the moral books of some primary classes. It is no longer a valid word for an Indian mind too, just as it has lost its meaning in the western world, several years ago. Our children and adults are exemplars of the famous 'Survival of the fittest' theory and they know just one and only thing in their minds for a lifetime, 'Money and Fame'.
People no longer believe in paths that are shown by experienced ancentors. We have started believing that, we are the masters of our lives and no one else is responsible for its make up or break up, forgetting the fact that we can learn a lot from the experience of others too, especially from those elderly people, who lived a life of simplicity and contentment with a generous, kind and compassionate mind.
Now-a-days even babies know the meaning of 'performance'. They are told to 'perform' well in pre-primary classes, 'perform' well in primary classes, 'perform' their best in their board exams, 'perform' the most in their graduation and peform the utmost and the impossible for the rest of their lives. Such children, who are born and brought up with such a mindset and attitude just learn to concentrate on improving their performance, no matter in what way they get it, at the expense of self-interests and of course at the sheer expense of humanistic attitude and moral values.
We learn to smoke, believing that it is just another habit like eating, we learn to drink, convincing ourselves that it is good for our health, as dictated by some ongoing research, we learn to cheat, thinking that we can bring about great 'performance' at the end. We have started believing that humans are polygamous by nature. We have started believing that there is nothing wrong in filing a divorce, if the new husband or wife unfortunately doesn't speak the 'right' word in each other's own dictionaries.
We look for an opportunity to push our old age parents to the so-called 'Loving old age homes', where the word 'love' has exchanged its meaning with the word 'money'. We look for a best chance to ditch our partners and enter into a new promising career, that is more financially stabilized. We look for a golden opportunity to leave our parent employers, just for the sake of a little addition to our annual package. In short, we just act like monkeys, hopping from branch to branch, without a proper goal, without concentration and without inquiring ourselves if we really need something.
Our politicians need to accumulate huge wealth, fearing for their lives.. Our bureaucracy is focussed upon shredding their responsibilities, whenever time permits. Our judiciary is no longer dictated by books of law but by loads of money. Our teachers, students, doctors, engineers, public servants, social workers, all have lost their real goal, forgotten their real identity, moving towards only one thing in their lives ' Money and fame'. There is no real Indian sage anymore. Only scandals remain. There is no reliable media, which works for people's welfare and awareness. Only scandal 'pages' remain.
Reality shows, movies, mega serials etc., are not focussed towards public welfare, but towards gathering audience for money, sucking their valuable time. Sports is now the best business industry.
And what about business? Business exhibits itself in several forms - monopoly, poor quality products, poor service, unjustifiable prices etc., geared up towards quarterly results, increasing customer base, increase in profit margin and the widening up of market value.
A typical Indian youth completes his higher secondary, joins a prestige Medical/Engineering institute, earns a degree, gets an instant placement in an MNC, struggles to get an onsite opportunity, settles down in the US or some other foreign country, increases the national debt by ways of credit cards, house loans, car loans etc., pushes the parents to an old age home, pushes the partner to early divorce and pushes the children to orphonages, even if alive. Finally he/she meets a lonely unfortunate death, realizing a lifetime of mistakes, without an opportunity to correct them because of elapsed time.
It is in the hands of individuals to focus upon a real change, to change for the good, to change ourselves in order to live better with less, to lead a happy, peaceful and contented life, just like our ancenstors who did it, long time back, once upon a time.. |

Gentlemen, i want to say that morals and values are degraded now in these days not only in youths but also in responsible persons. The best example of that is all over spreaded corruption in india. Mr Anna Hazare's campaign is a clear message to that. But we should not blame western culture or any other because they never teach us that. the factor responsible for that are as under :-
1. nuclear families : earlier our grand parents were use to teach us through moral stories to behave like a human but now children visit their grand parents during summer vacations only as guest.
2. Earlier when I study till class 5th there was a book "Naitik Shiksha" which is disappread today.
3. Downgrade in religious faith : people are not affraid by taking bribes and doing wrong for the sake of money.
4. Social change : value to money and luxigrious life style

| Yes it is a fact that our morals are degenerting at all because we are attracting towards the western society. Our elders made this morals to save our future but we should follow only that morals which can make our future bright don't bound us. And if we talk about the western culture we should follow the good things from that as their communication skills, and practicle knowledge because India is a developing country. |

"Nothing is stationary in this world except change. " And same is the case with the society. It is advancing, growing, reaching out towards western culture, but it does not tell that we have lost the respect and regard towards our elders.
Even if we cut the branches of a tree, if its roots are well nourished it sustains. Similarly, no matter how western culture influences us, it's the upbringing that matters.
Change is the need of the hour, and change is for the good. Does the western culture tell you to disrespect your elders. ? Or does it tell you to fade away from your mind what you learnt in your childhood days. ? obviously not. !
If going to pubs and clubs is what you call fading off of values, or late night parties brings to your mind the western culture. Then dear friends, don't forget that western countries are the developed countries and we are still a developing one. Work towards achieving that goal.
Our country has taken a bend towards westernism doesn't mean it has lost its roots from where it came. At the back of our minds, still the moral values inculcated into us by our parents, teachers and elders stay alive. It is upto us how far we can project these values. |

| Moral values are degrading, now a days, youngsters are getting attracted towards cinema, pubs, bars and somehow they are deviating from the moral values that our grand parents used to tought us. Guys, instead of fascinating towards the western culture, we should try to inoculate the ethics, teachings of our parents, religion. |

What morals and values are we talking about here? Is that just about being good, or kind, or brave, or responsible or just respecting others? I totally disagree that our morals and values are diminishing. They are certainly changing wit the influence of our daily life, which is certainly good in all means. When was that the country needed us and we backed off? never. When is that , that an injured lies on the road and is left unattended by us? Seldom. When in India is a festival and we forget to wish our parents and relatives? Never. If Anna needs us We fight, conduct rallies , cast votes! Almost All of us raise our voice , Protest on injustice...
Just that some of us have westernized, wearing western attires,drinking and smoking doesn't mean we have forgotten our morals and values ....
No, not at all. We are changing, as that's the only constant in the world and upbringing ourselves keeping ourselves grounded at the same time. |

| What exactly morals and values?Morals and values are nothing but the qualities that create the person as responsible towards his society and his parents. But nowadays we think of our own. We don't get time help other people. The giants of corruption, terrorism is also raising. Our culture is getting is westernized. We don't even respect one who have created us. So by looking at the situations can't we conclude that our morals and ethics is diminishing. But in order to prevent it we, media and others should create awareness among the people. |

Moral value and the ethics enhances one's life style and convert a society a good responsible society. Moral and ethical value come from the inner core of the human mind. If all the people obey this ethical value it creates good society where democracy, secularism all are maintained.
But now a days as people concentrated in their own life and don't show any responsibility among society, therefore social disorder is increased day by day. Now the government have step up to motivate the common people by some media show, some educational rally and some other way so that they understand their role in the society and give their best to grow up again the moral and ethical value among themselves so that society can drive in a better way. |

| Well guys I think these days the moral values among youngsters is degenerating its because we are highly fascinated by western culture and adopt such habits which seems outlandish for our Indian society. Reading holy books won't help in any way instead we should try to inculcate the important ethics from our parents and try to work upon them. |

| It all depends on the upbringing, because we have to inculcate the values and morals that our parents teach us.By practising them, we follow ethics.We must never forget our roots whoever we are.Nowadays many people think that if they blindly follow every aspect of Western culture they will be accepted in the West, but it is not actually so.We can follow the positive aspects like their professionalism,efficiency,punctuality instead of drinking,smoking,consensual sex etc. |

Hi friends.. what u all said is right. At least we know what the moral values are.. but if the situation that what you have been explained continues- there will be a day on which our next generation will ask a question that "what's the meaning of moral value?" something must be done to get rid of such a situation in the future.
Do you remember friends- in our childhood we used to have some moral classes in our schools. I think it should be implemented once again in present education systems.
As maximum of present generation are completely fond of media(mainly tv)- it will be better if media realizes and conduct some shows just like PANCHATANTRA.
Let's hope for the better development of future India(ns).
Thank you.... |

Yes friends, moral values among indians is degenerating. Sathya, dharma, santhi, prema, ahimsa are the values every human being has to be followed. A man who strictly follows any of the above remaining all will follow it automatically.
In this competetive world there is no time to teach values to students, there is a IIT foudation course from L. K. G. Standard itself. Everything is getting commercialised.
Moral values followed by spiritual desciplines. Degeneration of moral values can be possible only by any spiritual leader like bhagawan sri sathya sai baba garu. In this organisation values are part of education. Every student believes that" End of Education is character" yes values are degenerating. |

I agree with you most of the people who have forget our culture because they are following the world and taking the study out side the India so due to that they are losing Indian culture.
They are losing because they are getting love marriage and believes in live in relationship and they are attending the pubs and bars. So all the which are losing our culture. |

| My friend Sreyansh, you rightly said that Indians lack in their moral. They are adapting other culture but it is need of hour now. But the morals in the young Indians don't gone completely. Many times, we have seen that the country unites all together when it is the need. From the past in the 1960 s in the emergency period all people work together to help Jawans ether directly or indirectly. And also we have seen many high profile cases where the justice is not happening really but due to efforts of us (the whole Indians) that the culprits are behind the bars or their cases are going in the court. |

As per my concern, moral values should emerge in the youth to respect elders in our culture. Apart from the history we feel that all our leaders and respectable persons who became very famous they all have did their job upon respecting the elders and listen to their valuable words. So we the people of our India should move with their rules and support the culture for our forthcoming generation also. So finally I want to say is moral values should always be remember by every individual citizen of India.
Thank you. |

I totally agree that people feel proud to be as an Indian and respect parents.
But is it enough?
I don't think most of the people (not all) have morals. morals given by our great holy books. For example if people had morals then why they always act prody and selfishly, why they always get afraid of doing right, why they need to follow some other culture, it's aboout us how well we follow our ethics which are much more than being proud as an Indian or respecting family. |
