Morals & Values among Indians is Degenerating

If you will create an atmosphere where life is just meant for eating drinking sleeping enjoying and being merry then you will never understand deep problems of life. Problem is just not moral values it is basic humanity. We have lost our human nature and turning into extremely selfish beings. It is not expected from us to be ideal or perfect being but at least human being. Today all goodness show anywhere has hypocrisy as its base. Solution is simple when we understand that highest duty for us is not to injure any creature in any form. All other duties come after it.

Indians have the unique talent of applying all the bad practices of other societies in theirs rather than encouraging the best for making lives better.

For example, when the US society today tries to cover its body, we Indians feel that exposing one's self would fetch one more popularity though we know that it is against what has been preached. When the world is opting for skilled individuals we opt for reserved individuals rather than talent.

The difference between us and the rest of the world is that. Though the other people apply Indians in their lives, they still practice their traditions too. But we are so dumb that we rather tend to practice the other practices and forget our own. I think this is the sole reason why we had been dominated by the cruel British. In other countries, where they try to provide respect to each and every living woman, we tend to disrobe her in the society. If she gets raped or murdered. Blame the lady for a no fault of hers rather than trying to seek justice. In India, watching these impractical movies has made the youth term their mistaken infatuation as true love. At a young age when one should rather be focussing on studies.

Today is the world of technology. If we blame teenagers for the deterioration of values in them then we also have to blame ourselves for the same. Nowadays when teens talk to us in a rude manner, we feel astonished. But what are we teaching them while raising them is the real case? We teach them from the very beginning that this is your toy, pencil, book etc and do not share with other kids. We teach them not to share their notes with other classmates. Teach them how to survive in cut-throat competition. Now when they have grown up with this thing in their minds, we are blaming them. It a not the teens but we are the one to b blamed for upbringing such generation.

Moral values are certainly decreasing and there are plenty of examples to illustrate it. Now you will no more see that bonding between individuals and this has eventually led to the void of misunderstandings and distrust now if you are a good and simple person you will be treated as a bait or the mice of the experiment. Everything now has become materialistic and you should expect a situation where morals are nil and ethics have been sent off to the bottom of the ocean.

In my opinion, moral values are the base of our life. If the base will get disturb then how the building will be constructed? So firstly we have to make our base strong. Indian moral values are the best in the whole world, so let's follow our own nation's values and build up a new image in the world. I, myself will also try to follow the same.

Thank you.

Traditional source of inculcating moral values in children are too busy or falling too short of their role.

Parents-Too busy in their own job.

Traditional joint families are becoming non-existent.

Education -All about learning science, math & language skills. Moral education is out of curriculum.

Society-Defines your success based on your position & number of zeros in your salary. End becomes important than the means.

Leaders -Political leaders -Most hated species in India.

Media- Believe that cricket, TV stars etc are topics of national importance.

Youth can not be blamed. If its a moral degradation, it is collective failure.

In my opinion, Indian youth is distracted all because of the foreign culture. They are attracted towards the things that are gained without any special effort. On any social site, we actually can predict very easily what's going on in our youth society. They say INDIA will be the youngest country in 2020. But what's the use? Do Indian youth is giving all it could? NO!is the answer. Our Youth is getting lazy day by day and some who work hard, study from the top institutes (IIT, IIM) and move abroad in search of better opportunities. What is the benefit of being a youngest country then?

Our youth especially teenagers are very much attracted towards nudity. Showing himself above others is becoming the most important goal of Indian teens. They feel its good to be bad, It's cool to study one night before the exam and just pass it, its royal to smoke and drink and its maturity to go against their parents. IT'S NOT!. I seriously don't know what is the solution for this but all I know is that this situation must change.

Causes:

- Excessive promotion of entertainment, fun and pleasure seeking activities through mass media as though these are the most important things in life and there is nothing else to do or think about.

- Excessive use of sex appeal in movies, music, advertisements, sports, in fact in everything that spews out of TV and internet.

- Increasing levels of vulgarity, violence and obscenity being shown in music videos that appeal to the youth. Sex, drugs and rock-n-roll, the three mantras for corrupting the youth being put into devastating use.

- Excessive and unhealthy promotion of individualism.

Effects:

- Vulgar and obscene tastes being developed in people that are reflected in the manners, words, clothing. The shockingly revealing and obscene apparel that spews out every year leaves little to the imagination. People are going to extremes to look attractive and make an impact on others. This twisted behavior is having tremendously negative effects in the minds of kids, the youth and also adults.

- A major portion of public time is spent in watching sports, movies, TV serials and endless chatter about non-existent issues. Seriously, is there nothing else in life worth doing?

- Permissiveness, infidelity and promiscuity in levels that was unthinkable a few years ago.

- People, in general, are more self-centered, less social, losing the ability to function in groups and hence more distant from each other. These days people prefer more to talk in social media than face to face. The human bonding is slowly dissipating.

Solution:

There is no one trick solution to all of this, except for the people to wake up and realize that they don't have to follow everything that spews out of the TV. It's a fake world driving the profits of a bunch of extremely cunning people who know very well what's going on in the real world. We people are the real thing and to live like human beings is what\'s important.

What we used to see in India a few years back also were joint families where parents grandparents uncle aunties lived together. There were mutual respect and value for each other. Everyone had an upper hand to build a child's character. But in today's world, we see families being nuclear ones. Both the parents are office goers and the child or children are left alone or with care takers. These children delve into internet and television and they receive the content and vulgarities shown through these media. So gradually they lack moral and ethical character. Not only that from a very early age they see parents money minded and they also become money minded and selfish. They dun have respect elders, not even their own parents. These all add up to the degradation of the moral character of today's generation who are going to lead tomorrow's India. Thus it is true that moral and values among Indians are degenerating over time. Thank you.

Desire is the root cause of all devils. The three important aspects of life are now with man that are food, clothes and shelter. But man wants more than that in order to live a cozy life. Today man has become puppets in the hands of his own desires. So he is depending upon materialistic goods which has lead to declination of moral values. The influence of machines has made man a machine which is emotionless. Love has turned to hatred, friends to enemy in this age of cut and throw competition.
