Morals & Values among Indians is Degenerating

Hello everyone!

I just want to say that try to become better, bigger and stronger in your life but don't ever forget your roots, don't forget where you have came from. Moral values are degrading and the reason is our fast speeding lives. We don't have time to help a needy person, carrying heavy loads and bags for a pregnant lady, or wishing a elder person passing by. We must try to achieve our goals but we should not forget our values.

The word "competition" has became an integral part of our lives. We all are in a race. People don't have time to care for others. I want to tell you all story that might can change your thinking.

A 100 mts race was about to start. Six girls were participating in that race. The whistle blew up and the girls started running. After 2 or 3 minutes, one of the them fell and started crying because she was injured. The rest 5 girls stopped, returned back, picked up that girl, and helped her to stand. Then all the six joined their hands and finished the race together. This is a real event which was happened in school for MENTALLY DISABLED children.

What have we done if we were in that place? We all would probably finish our race and try to win without caring about that girl because we are not "mentally disables", we call our self "civilized", we all just WANT to WIN.

If health is gone, something is gone.

But if character is gone, everything is gone.

Teaching moral values is very necessary for the all-round development of a person. It includes discipline, manners and etiquette, behavior, control over oneself, politeness, strength, patriotism, love and care for each other. It also includes speaking truth, no stealing, becoming a good citizen. Moral values are also necessary for developing healthy and friendly relations with everyone. Loss of moral values is a direct loss of the country. A child must be given moral education at an early stage. He must be taught the importance of moral, ethical and family values.

By Family Values, we mean to have good thoughts, good intentions and good deeds, to love and to care for those whom we are close to and are part of our groups or communities, like parents and other family members and friends too. They must learn to treat others with the same set of values with which they wish to be treated. Ethical values define a set of principles of right conduct. A child must learn moral values in school, many of the schools teach the students to develop their character through books, moral stories, essays, plays.

An easy and one of the best ways to impart moral set of values and principles in a child. The child must be taught so as they must be filled with moral virtues such as wisdom, courage, justice. These days, we see some students misbehaving with teachers, people go on strike burning buses, including in bad politics or doing other kinds of harms, thus deteriorating moral values. They are having just opposite qualities of these moral virtues such as they start believing in injustice, tyranny, or may be cowardness. A child gets to know and can easily decide what is right and what is wrong for him, learns to behave mannerly in a society, he understands his responsibilities through moral values.

Moral principles held the world together. So, there is a need of set of moral principles and values to be imparted in the children to make them a better and a responsible citizen.

In today's society every person in every street corner can give a fully convincing lecture on what the ideal moral values should be, about what's good and what's not, about what people should do and what not. You talk to any person these days he/she seems to be in possession of a perfect moral compass. Every tom, dick and harry seems to have beliefs, virtues, feelings, qualities and opinions of the highest standard. And with the advent of social media, preaching morality is now the new trendy thing to do. The internet is abuzz with videos, articles, memes, captions, quotes that are high on moral content. Everyday thousands of messages are circulated in whatsapp groups that are oozing with the morality juice. Every movie, every TV show depicts the triumph of good over evil and the ultimate win of morals and values. The world seems to have gotten itself into a huge morality preaching frenzy. So naturally the question arises, why is our society such a mess these days? In a world where everyone is fully loaded on morals and values, where every person seems to have a clear understanding of right and wrong, how can corruption, promiscuity, vulgarity, violence and every other form of depravity and debauchery rule? Why are people silent on these issues that are devastating society? I feel the only reason is that nowadays there is a huge difference between what people say in public and what they do in private. People's actions don't match with their words at all. People pretending to be at the epitome of all moral standards are usually at the bottom of it. People do only what is good in their own eyes and in most cases, this is just the opposite of what they are saying in public. For instance, someone preaching the importance of family may be the one cheating on their partners. People try to change the world with their morality but they don't try to change themselves with it. You speak to anybody these days you will generally end up listening to a lot of good stuff about life, about morals, about values. But when you enter into the lives of these same persons there is a good chance of you finding out that it was all just theory, meant only for putting on a show and not for actual practice. Nowadays we are also seeing the popularisation of simple high concept moral values. These are easiest to understand but hardest to follow. For example: Be a good person or Be honest or Be truthful or Be loyal. The whole moral compass is being gradually compressed into simple general stuff like these which everyone knows but usually find the most difficult to practice. Hence no one really bothers to practice them. Nobody really ventures into more complex stuff like how to be honest in a dishonest world or how to be kind in a cruel world or how to stay truthful in a lying world. One must remember that morality is relative and every generation has felt that their generation was somewhat more moral than the current generation. But when people are pretending to be someone and are actually just the opposite, that trend is disturbing.

Yes, I do agree with this statement. Today's generation is moving with the speed and they have forgotten the moral values and basic ethics.

Somehow I feel that parents are also equally to be blamed. With this corporate life where work is 24/7 and the parents do not have time for their children. Because of the ego problem within parents there are fights and verbal abuses by the parents in front of the kids. These kids pick it from them and same shows in their behavior.

So I feel the moral values and ethics start from base at home. Hence it is important to keep the environment at home clean and follow some ethic and moral values which when the kids see will follow.

And thus save our future generation.

Hi guys,

The condition of today's generations:

1. Very selfish.
2. Disrespect.
3. Dishope in sprituality especially GOD (Somebody does just for formality).
4. Lust.
5. Money demons.
6. Supporting bad things.
7. In obedient among elders etc.

I see these things on Indian youngsters, they just follow the bad movies. EVIL SHIT!

Our country has culture, morality and values. But today's constant decline in ethics and values. As a result, there is a growing number of widespread, flawed and child offenders in our country. The reason is that social media, education system, propaganda, and other countries are drowning in culture and poverty and illicit racism can also be attributed. Today's youth has become addicted to luxuries, alcohol, drugs, pornography, violent video games, become slaves and shatters their fortune and shifts to the development of the country. Youth should be taken away from these programs to promote the development of the country. Special programs should be taken to improve the situation of girls and women. Only then can he become proud of the country and say he is an Indian.

Hi friends.

I am also somewhere in my mind is in support of the topic.

I just want to say that these values have become the things of the past. We all are focused upon money and fame.

No humanity, no love, no respect, no care. THESE ARE THE MOST FAMOUS WORDS IN OUR MIND DICTIONARY.

But the question is why we have just become like this, have forgotten our real culture, our ethics. And are blindly following what was never permitted in our culture.

Some of the animalistic things which can prove that. " yes we are not humans on this earth".

1. Honour killing (its really a shame for our elders our society. And is a prove for no moral value inside in their heart).

2. Rape (nowadays gang rapes are more popular. Boys have been muscular, and what would be better place for them to show their strength. And kill the victim mercilessly, enjoying the blood comes out of the body. This can't be human behavior. Hence a prove that we are animals. And is very much clear that animals have no moral values. ).

3. And the most famous is chain snatching, killing for money, cheating. And our elders said that they have not learnt such type of lessons to their kids. But the thing is even they have not got the time that they can spend with these young minds.

4. And the controversial one is WHEN THE PERSON ENTER INTO POLITICS, he is filling only his pockets, take bribe, DO SCAMS, do RIOTS. They have just one priority to have the MONEY only FOR EVEN THEIR HUNDREDTH GENERATION TO COME. I mean let that generation to do something by themselves. You need not to worry for them, they will be having same brain, 2 hands, 2 legs. And that would be enough. DO SOMETHING FOR WHATEVER YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED. And if little bit humanity is left with you then bring all the money from swiss bank to our people.

QUES is from where we would be expecting moral values.

WE CAN ONLY READ THEM IN OUR BOOKS.

AND FOR WHATEVER IS HAPPENING WRONG IN THE SOCIETY SOMEWHERE OR THE OTHER ITS OUR ELDERS WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE DEEDS IN THE SOCIETY.

Supportive reasons are:

1. Discrimination between girl and boy. It gives an unfair advantage to them that they are the superior ones. And is having every right to molest, to rape, to kill.

Because they always feel women to be the materialistic things, so they use them proudly.

2. From these they have forgot to show respect to women.

3. No one can deny the fact that more than 90 percent crimes are being done by the SO CALLED MASCULINES of our society.

And the main reason behind is that somewhere or the other parents are lacking in.

Providing them VALUES, they only restrict their girls for every wrong and right.

Would that they have understood this fact than the crime rate would have decreased, and ultimately the MORALS AND VALUES WILL BE FOLLOWED BY EVERYONE.

I am not really saying that the boys are only behind every wrong thing. Girls have also forgot their culture, the way to show respect and many more.

So be an indian, live like an indian, don't show lackadaisical attitude towards everything.

The moral values among the Indians or it can be said that among the youth generation moral values are decreasing. This is a very serious problem. I think that for this only maximum all the youths are starting taking alcohol from a very lower age and cigarettes also. One day these youths will start taking drugs. They are the future of the country and we should save them. Basically, these moral values are learned from the family. If the family and the parents are not stable the child will not get the opportunity to learn the moral values.

It is the responsibility of the teachers also to keep some debate or activity on these topics. We know that science has changed our life, without science we cannot live such a luxurious life today but it doesn't mean to forget the moral values. I didn't forget the moral values. My parents have told to do this and that and I know that this will make me a perfect. At last, I should say that 'SAVE THE YOUTH, SAVE THE COUNTRY.'.

- Nowadays, smoking, hukka parlours, drinking, late night parties, exposure of physical beauty, pubs are considered as status symbols. Persons not doing these things are considered old fashioned or stereo type. Simplicity and etiquettes were things of the past.

- People want to earn either by hook or crook. They don't care if their acts are in agreement with moral values. They can sell their moral values for money because money now buys status.

- Everyone knows the dirty game of politics that is being played nowadays. If our "respected" politicians had good ethical values, they would have not been only concerned with filling their own pockets in place of developing our poor country.

- To be religious is now mocked at by most of the people. Instead of learning some good things from "Satsang", people enjoy criticizing the Saints.

- Chain snatching and horrendous acts like rape are common terms in newspaper and news channels.

- Physical appearance is all that matters in a person. Even players are not identified by their runs and goals but by their looks.

Thus it will not be an exaggeration to say that morals and values of people are degenerating.

So the buzz is about morality. ! I remember about ma childhood, my mom use to show me Ramayan and then all elderly people try to glorify his character. Right from the ancient day on-wards what was glorified became the desire for majority of people.

Today the world has changed, technology has key role to play, in India Bollywood and media has key role to play. Am not saying here what is right or what is wrong, am simply making a point that whatever will be glorified will become a trend for youth.

If its the Bollywood actors or actress who is more glorified than everyone would desire to become that no one can change this trend what we call us eroding of moral values unless someone there at the top begin to glorify things which are good or morally right. ! Just thing about what is more desirable to become BSF Jawan or Salman khan?

Ask this to all you will actually come to know that its about what is valued, what is respected, and obviously what is glorified which is going to shape our morals, our values. Lets be not pessimist guys just start valuing what you thing is good n make the world good.

Note: Pardon me for my English, am week in English. Rest I don't care.
