Morals & Values among Indians is Degenerating

The mindset of people can be changed if they are shown things with good background music and good plot story. The story will be accepted as either cool or if it is vulgar then it will be accepted as bold and experimental.

This powerful media ie. Movies can make you accept things that are against even your basic morality.

Teenagers easily fall in this net. And it doesn't stop there only. These movies ignite curiosity that ends in addiction to pornography. The curiosity that should be towards studies is misdirected and it ruins the morals to the lowest levels. Morals form the backbone of self-image and strength of mind which are tools for living a successful life. In studies or ahead.

Hit movies can be made from good plots and words also. I believe in clearly saying what is bad n not hiding its obscene scenes and lewd dialogues and foul words in the name of boldness. The argument that public likes it and it's their choice. Is correct but using their choice to fill producer's pockets is bad. You can give them a choice of watching good things instead on Friday.

And youth should be inspired by the boldness of Bhagat Singh, Subhash Chandra Bose, Gandhiji, or recent heroes like Sundar Pichai, Saina Nehwal etc.

And not with the boldness of some villain smoking a cigarette and giving fool dialogues to grab attention or boldness of item dance done with maximum vulgarity possible within boundaries set by censor board.

There are so many in todays society that have lost the boundaries that would have helped them in times past to determine between right and wrong. Children are now exposed to so much information which in many ways have molested them of their innocence, and have deprived them of a pure and healthy childhood.

Tomorrows Newspaper reads that an 11 year old child was gunned downed by his fellow student simply because he wouldn't give up his coat. These are a few of the teachings learned by this information generation. That material gain is more important than another human life. The degradation of moral standards starts not only from within the home, but in the Media and Educational system as well as Environmental structures play a significant role as well. To reach a generation that has been exposed to so much with so little maturity or understanding will not only be challenging for its teachers, but overwhelming for those that seek to control them.

Degradation simply means to lower ones standard of lifestyle, to make one a degenerate and to demoralize not only in standards, but in character as well. Greed has become the forerunner in the world today. There is so many that now hide behind this image call success. That it doesn't really matter what it took to get there, at least this is what they think.

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.

Hello everyone,

This is Jitendra Kumar,

I also wanted to conclude some view on this topics.

Parents and society which are solely responsible to imparting the moral value and ethics which are very important to everyone to have some dignity and responsible life. Which are also responsible to make every one the man of value.

As we also know that Moral Value & ethics are so called big words which are not easy to understand until we all never drop down our self ego, selfishness & so called fantasy life.

Values do have different meaning for everyone which could be described in many forms or terms like life, Respect, Responsibility, Relationship, Honor, dignity etc. Yes this is also true that these value are degrading day by day which are making the every section of nation weaker.

Adoption of some good thing from the individual culture of the nation is really good thing but sacking of these value we drop down your won culture, ethics and moral values etc. Which are not good at all.

Moral value and ethic are the most precious ornament for everyone. So, do respect and impart these value & ethics in to your next generation to make them Man of the value.

Jai Hind.

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.

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.

- 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.

I don't believe that the Morals are degrading, The today's youth are living in complete different scenario than the our forefather and this Completely Orthodox Society, Just being Influenced By the western world and also exploring New opportunities across various fields, Is this Wrong ?, We all Indians Regardless of present or our past generations had seen a dream of India Becoming World Power which it was centuries earlier, So in the way it also involves Booming of various new industries which at short interval could hurt anyone sentiments But they will themselves acknowledge themselves in future And this is how the revolution as well as evolution takes place, Yeah but I also fully support that Todays youth are Doing things like neglecting spirituality, Doing bad things out of lust and money etc, which they will surely regret now or then Yeah So we along with this also restore our ethics and lost values And At the last we should not associate modernization with lost of moral values and tempt to assume that if someone is modern, they don't have ethics and morals.

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.
