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.

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.

India, traditionally a religious, non-individualistic, closed society is going through the 2nd phase of economic transition. People are for the first time having the taste of economic & individual freedom. It is a volatile time when 'old ideas' are dying & the 'new ideas' are still a minority community. Whether the 'new' is 'right' or not, that is something subjective. But, in my opinion if it turns the Preamble of our Constitution into a reality in the long run, then it is good enough for me.

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.

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.

Moral and ethical values are said to be those qualities which makes the person responsible and respectful in the society. We must have gone to deep for understand the moral values. But today these values are seems to be degenerating. Every person is becoming selfish and never think about others. According to my contribution very rare people have moral values today.

First of all what is morality?

Adhering to old practices or practicing what is right. If in a given situation a daughter- in - law refuses to maintain relationship with her in laws because they constantly harass her. Then standing up for her self respect is wrong only because the society does not support children going against their elders.

The need is to construct a virtuous definition of the word 'value'. Let our values make us better not bitter. Lets keep questioning ourselves and our value systems. Even they need to evolve with time.

I am so happy to see so many thoughts and views on this topic. What I am thinking is that all of those who shared their views must be having this realisation that things has to be changed. We talked about what is wrong. But we should also think how to make the wrong right. Why not all such thoughtful persons unite themselves and serve to humanity and mankind. Trust me bad can be turned into good. What we need to show is true love, for it has a great power to shake the whole world. :).

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.
