It is evident that kaliyuga is defined as a time where there people let go off humanity, values. Values are those rules which become a foundation of an evolved person. Something which realizes a person of the path he took, it may be diabolical or ethical.
But we are born to follow ethical, moral values because we are from the origin of ethics, no person is born as a daemon, but he became one and why is he a daemon because he didn't follow the ethics he was born with.
This proves that somewhere, somehow one approaches to this values even if he doesn't want to follow them, every drunk person determines to drink everyday but dreams of being sober. And if not, he desires death.
Because he knows that its wrong. Some rules are never meant to be broken. Values are the ones which binds us to realize our value of being here, now, today and everyday.

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 values is not degrading, you need to UNDERSTAND why they are important before you can follow them. Contemplate on Morality and once understood, you will follow them at any cost.
We Indian thinks of morality in terms of customs and religious practices. It not only about respecting elders, or ladies or doing certain things. Morality is about killing the beast, hatred and the greedy person inside ourselves. It is holistic development of a person.
In my opinion, our country both people from past and present distracted, due to too many options and choices. We crave for so many things.
What we want is just essential things in personal life and career, we should leave anything which distract us. We then will have a clear vision of what is right and what is wrong. We will have time and energy for us and our dear ones.

I strongly believe it is the impact of America and the West, the aim of which is to make the rest of the world degenerate so that the West can continue to conquer and rule. I remember vividly an interview with Trump where he revealed that his children DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL because they "wouldn't be able to compete". So, nobody should be in any doubt - the White Western world leaders KNOW where strength lies. India and Indians should, therefore, wake up, REJECT Western ideas of behavior such as they are promoting through people like Priyanka Chopra who is used for really nasty sex scenes and then rolled onto TV chat shows to talk about how to be a role model for young girls. Indians must powerfully embrace their heritage and its powerful moral bases to become, once again, the greatest nation in the world.

Well, I also agree that moral value is getting abolished. Most of the people will blame teenagers for their mischief acts but for that, they are not only responsible but their parents are too. They are giving their child all possible facilities which are actually not necessary at this early are. Moreover, corruption is also increasing very fast. People are ready to do anything for then benefits. They even do not think what are they going to do and what will be its impact.
Moral value is very important to remove all those nonsense behavior of people towards each other. If even one percent of moral value can be raised in people, this is also beneficial for the sake of our nation as moral value is the anti-virus of corruption named virus which is spread all over the world.

India still has these moral values in society but the poor fact now is that. The people who have them are in minority numbers and those who would have acquired in the majority.
Earlier we use to be fit and it was hardly that we fell ill and went for heavy medications because we have access to healthy and nutritional food, a healthy lifestyle where we use to play outside even everyone had a family time where there would have been healthy discussions.
But in present scenarios, we are so much obsessed with the virtual world and western food that it has not only increase risk of diseases because of unhealthy food and less physical activity but also cut short our time with family which makes us lose moral values. Because it is truly said that parents are our first teachers.

Our country has culture, morality and values. But today's constant decline in ethics and values. As a result, there is a growing number of widespread, flawed and child offenders in our country. The reason is that social media, education system, propaganda, and other countries are drowning in culture and poverty and illicit racism can also be attributed. Today's youth has become addicted to luxuries, alcohol, drugs, pornography, violent video games, become slaves and shatters their fortune and shifts to the development of the country. Youth should be taken away from these programs to promote the development of the country. Special programs should be taken to improve the situation of girls and women. Only then can he become proud of the country and say he is an Indian.

Morals & values are important for us to live life happily. But somehow in the present generation, these values are degrading in Indian society because of many reasons like too much consumerism, a highly goal-oriented approach where we are willing to pay bribes to achieve our target.
One important cause is the Indian education system which is highly knowledge-based and lacks moral & value education. Overhauling the education system and better caring at the home of children are important. Look, most of the incidents of wife-beating, rape, and a crime against women in news are common why these crimes against women are all around India this all shows morals and values are declining in our society where Goddess Laxsmi, and Durga are worshipped in our society.

There were so many opinions shared I could not read all of them all I would like to say is that, yes, There is a cut-throat competition and yes, You have to agree with 'survival of the fittest'. But it doesn't makes sense that just because you have to survive then others have to go extinct. And actually, its not modernity that kills morals, it is our vague attitude towards social glitches that kills our morals.
I will not talk about how kids are brought up these days or about the bad influences that affects kids these days, all I would like to point out is that, we are paying a hell lot in our daily life due to this lack of moral awareness and if we don't change our attitude towards these glitches then we are in for paying even more badly.
Thanks.

I believe that modernity is not the reason for decline of moral values. Modernity is just the way of a newer and a fresher thinking while morality comes from inside. Today Indian youth has a civilized manner of talking, walking and all their actions. It depends on person to person how their morals are. While one person might respect the elders, the other may not. This is not because of modernity.
Our youth still respects our culture and thus never forgets to greet elders and respects religion. My dear friends I would like to throw light on this point that partying and wearing what one likes is not something related to morality. Today we our more informed, of newer thinking and have advanced mentality.
