Morals & Values among Indians is Degenerating

Yes, Today moral values, ethics more than that relationship values are degrading. Today maintaining many boyfriends has become a fashion and time pass for girls n in fact some treat it as their achievement. Same apply to the guys.

Atleast we are blessed because we all are born to love and affection between our parents. But next generation children will born to just time pass relationships with many. Therefore strong families are degrading today and everyone just trying to enjoy the life as much as they want. People are not bothered whether their acts are going to hurt people around. They just want to enjoy at the cost of others happiness.

All these things are negative side of life. But there are many good things also happening. There are many good people also following honesty, ethics in their life. But most of them are suffered a lot in their life mainly due to the bad people around. So it our duty to not to allow bad dominating good and follow humanity. Hope for the better tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

I may be a kid but I wanted to share my thoughts. I think now parents have been more busy and due to that their children don't learn good values which are needed. I have seen parents don't have enough time to even interact but in that case I think at least they could give some time in dinner and even if they talk for 10 minutes it should be qualitative. I believe to make kids understand to learn good values it should be shown by the parents not given only as a lecture.

Both parents and teachers play an important role in learning good values. Nowadays 90 out of 100 kids wan to be teachers as they are a role model to kids so the same way parents should do their duty. Also now Media affects children it is very addictive and can make kids misbehave like if the parents want the kids to stop playing on an iPad the kid will argue and misbehave. So I think the parents should watch this and make kids have limited time so I hope this speech helped you understand.

Thank you.

Moral values which we today (aged 40+) have learned from our parents are far different from today's generation. Have you ever seen any child of today.

1. Getting aside when an elderly passes by.

2. Vacating a seat for a pregnant woman or elderly.

3. Offering help to a neighbor if he/she carries many bags or heavy load.

4. Being silent if any relative corrects him/her or scolds him/her.

5. Reading value based stories.

6. Listening to parents without arguing.

7. Being without a gadget for more than an hour.

8. Helping elderly cross a busy road.

9. Wishing a known or unknown at the meeting.

10. Helping parents at household and market works.

These are just a few in the list if I want I can add a lot to this. The readers are requested to think and implement such small values in their lives so that not only we learn it but become role models for the people around us. I believe that we cannot teach values to our youngsters rather its what they watch they learn.

Yes, it is a bitter truth!

The country that once said to be the epitome of culture, morality, and character, is today continuously degenerating and deteriorating in terms of morals and values. The result is that we are seeing an increasing number of perverts, delinquents and juvenile criminals, across the country. The pro-obscenity mass media, the valueless education system, the obsession with western culture, and poor parenting are the prime culprits for the degeneration of the youth of India. The addiction to pornography, violent video games, alcohol, drugs, etc. , is corrupting the mind of a large number of youngsters and teenagers. If India has to rise and become a great nation, it's youth, needs to be revived. Special stress should be given to improving the condition of girls and women and to make this country a safe haven for them conducive to their growth and prosperity! Then India will surely rise and make every citizen of it proud to be called an Indian!

I want to share my views regarding "How far we must be proud to be an Indian?". Please. Don't be proud about past Indian culture & physical features of India. India has great mountains, the great Thar desert, plateaus, plains, rivers, forests etc. But a country means not only soil and it's features but a country means it's 'PEOPLE'. But there is no scope now-a-days to depict our greatness seeing us (not all but including me).

Firstly I don't have right to criticize others without checking me whether I am correct or wrong. But according to me it's all doesn't matter to give a opinion. Our society was sub-merged in flood of selfishness, in flood of jealousy, in flood of corruption, in flood of passion on money. One more highly effective one is use of modern gadgets excess. These gadgets highly contribute for drowning away of human values in their heartless tides.

The only solution for this is 'CHANGE'. "YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD".

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.'.

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.

Unlike animals humans have evolved emotion in their evolutionary development. Evolution has given him the sense of morality. So we find morality is advocated and appraised in all societies of the world. Some unknown yet subtle evolutionary 'knot' has surely decelerated moral activities in all people in the present world, not only in India. It is true ignorance and wrong influences from outside has made the youth vulnerable. Their weak brain and lack of understanding life accompanied by dear of the unknown has subjected them into victimization by alcohol, deadly drugs resulting into psychological impairments. This results into amoral activities.

Remedies are there, though not easy but sure shot.

Knowledge, knowledge of science. How does life function? Ethical education and practice. Compulsory two years service for the country. And of course love, affection for the youth to stop them being dragged into darkness.

Morals are definitely exasperating (degrading). Well this was the reason that today a girl from my class stole money from my purse. It was really a bitter experience for me. I mean it was only a week since my college started, but this definitely taught me a lesson, not to trust people easily you know after all it is KALYUG. Its pathetic that today most of the young people resort to stealing someone's hard earned money to fulfil their useless desires of drinking, smoking & all such illegal activities. This is because their parents don't teach them all these morals & values & so they end up doing all such evil things. I feel theres a strict need for teaching value education in schools & colleges especially for all those spoilt & screwed up youngsters who not only harm themselves (by you know all that drinking & smoking) but also others (by of course stealing money).

Hi all,

I think, as the time changes, changes the need of the hour.

Previously it was considered morally good to stay with the parents, and one who won't would be considered low on the ground of moral values, but we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. It can be any reason, it may be for good, it may be for better career opportunities.

Adding to it, being with them also does not give a so called character certificate to anyone, it should be individuals duty to be there for his/her parents and not to consider 'am as burden.

Also, I guess youth being the pillars of the nation, sees to it in their own manner, I have seen children giving there seats in metro rail to elders or the one's in need, this gives a clear picture that they still have their moral values instilled in them.

It's more of the ability to differentiate between the good and the bad, and going with the good.
