Morals & Values among Indians is Degenerating

Yes, Moral and values are degrading.

The condition has become very worse in todays life. There is no trust between individuals. Competition and selfishness has increased even between siblings, friends and relatives. There is no sharing of happiness and sorrows. People feel happy to know about others sufferings.

All want to climb up the ladder pushing everyone down. Life was a lot better, people had good understanding when they had less money as in the olden days when other persons suffering was considered as your own suffering and people used to rejoice in others happiness. In the present world, it is exactly the opposite.

Aristotle said that, a good citizen makes the nation as good. Moral values will be useful to every citizen to be good always. Today, we have been seeing corruption from top to bottom of public and private sectors. Many professionals are leading to corruption. There is no fear among them because they think always about themselves, not about society. The profession is a significant activity of human being to provide proper service towards the society and nature. Moral values are taught to children from the beginning and at the level of family and society. People always be different, not common. But, we need to remember one thing, i.e, if we do good things then we get good results if we do bad things we get bad results. If you want to remove social evils among the people, now start to preach or teach good things, good values to your children.

Moral and views among youth are not degenerating. It's just that they are becoming more self-independent self-sufficient that doesn't mean their values are degenerating. It's good for an individual and nation that they have their opinions they can take their decision by themselves. Today, youth doesn't live under the shadow of what people think. They create their own views based on their wisdom. That's what we need in youth to make the nation more developed.

Actually, moral values are not present now in Indian society. What is now left are vices. Hypocrisy, backbiting, greed, jealousy, selfishness, conspiracy, superiority complex, showoff, anger, hatred, disregard for each other, inequality, arrogance, extreme pride, haughtiness. People are now ever ready to injure each other in thought, word, and deed. People speak lies freely. Compassion is totally extinct. People hearts are now harder than rock. Real and pure love is unknown. What is left is only selfish love based on selfish motives.

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. :).

I agree that morals and values among Indians are degenerating day by day. Nowadays very often it is seen that youth doesn't have quality time to spent with their parents they are too busy in their life that they even did not hesitate while sending their old parents to old orphanage homes. They drive on the roads so heartedly that even if someone is lying unconsciously on the road, they even don't give a look to them. We need to get to our senses and restore our lost values and ethics of life.

It's up to one's understanding of the society. If he only chooses to take in the bad stuff, then he needs a session with the psychology doctor.

If he chooses to take in the good stuff, then he is a robot.

The best way is to be both pessimistic and optimistic.

India is a country of Great Heritage where Great Priests and Saints took Birth and tried to spread the maximum Knowledge and messages in Favour of Mankind. They presented Various Theories and Formulated Various Ideas, some contradictory while some Very Scientific but whatever had been done was done just for Goodwill and Determine of humans.

But the irreligious, heretical, mean, and selfish thoughts spreading outside the country has severely attacked Indian Culture and Values.

It's not only that India was the Purest country but, the actual fact is that the influence of Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, and scriptures on people lead them to live a simple, and true life.

But today, westernisation has penetrated so much into Indian minds that people have rendered their culture. It's fine that people find far off things better but to apply those things in our lives we must understand the impact of those things in a particular region. E.G. Christians don't find wrong eating flesh of a cow because their scriptures don't worship it but in an Indian society where Cow is worshipped as the Goddess of the Ultimate Heaven, eating its flesh is wrong and is banned.

And eating even the flesh of an animal is actually wrong because Just fit the sake of a better taste, the life of those poor creatures is wasted. And applying such wrong habits is not what actually should happen. Instead, the values of women Empowerment, Education, discipline, etc should be applied to life.

And before questioning our own cultural habits we must first question our own knowledge related to that topic because little knowledge is dangerous.

Its fact that the morale values in society are degrading.

In earlier days joints family system was there. Grandparents used to tell the stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata to children so they always followed them and understood the value of respect and truthfulness. But today parents don't have time for their son or daughter.

So today's youths learn everything from friends which is all incomplete values.

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.
