Morals & Values among Indians is Degenerating

Hi all, Moral values should not be mixed with modernization. If you are modern then it does not mean that you have lost your moral values. And moral values is also not remembering your parents birthday. Its how to behave with the people surrounding you. You may be living far from your parents or some people with no parents, some people who does not got a chance to learn from the good teachers.

Morals and principles are such which you learn yourself from the surrounding environment. Books and teachers parents can show you what are the moral values and embedding them in your behavior, its an individual thing.

I do agree that moral values and ethics are degrading due to the cut throat competition and 'survival of fittest' type of attitude. But they still prevail though under a veiled.

When we were young we were told stories about the honest woodcutter, cricket and the ant, and poems of goodness and truth growing up we realized that straight trees are always cut first in the forest, so we have to be a bit selfish.

But if roots are firm then nothing will make much difference. So children should be given the right type of education, they should be told about our cultures and values. The foundation must be strong!

Morals and values among Indians are degenerating, it is not totally true, because some people are in India who have a lot of morals and values. Today also they help people who are in trouble. All morals and values develop gradually as we are born, then we learn morals and values from our mother and we go to school then we learn morals and values from our teacher and our education system like Kabir dohe, Rahim dohe. We respect aged person it also morals and values. I know that lack of morals and values in this modern era, but we can't say that morals and values among Indians are degenerating is wrong.

In our country, there are variety of people living together. Every religion.

Teaches moral values in its point of view. But no one aware of such kind of moral values in The Holy book. For example, how many children's know the religious thought from their school days!Though school has mold a good student to the society, they are not considering the student contribution on society. Then how do they know Moral values in their life. Moral values should be taught by school. The Government of India should include the moral value as one of the subject. Then only Moral values spreading over the students.

One of the major reasons for degradation of moral values and ethics among the youth is the continuous worsening of quality education. Friends the current education system is all about getting a good job, making money and satiating your desires with it. Late night parties, movies, discos, clubs, hyperactive night life, giving more importance to social media this all have preoccupied our lives leaving no room for improving our moral standards. The Desire for materialistic gains and comforts, greed for luxury life has lead to corrupt practices and downfall of social values.

If you will create an atmosphere where life is just meant for eating drinking sleeping enjoying and being merry then you will never understand deep problems of life. Problem is just not moral values it is basic humanity. We have lost our human nature and turning into extremely selfish beings. It is not expected from us to be ideal or perfect being but at least human being. Today all goodness show anywhere has hypocrisy as its base. Solution is simple when we understand that highest duty for us is not to injure any creature in any form. All other duties come after it.

Yes, it is rightly said that today unfortunately the roots of Indian culture i.e.moral values have started being degraded. As India is said to be 'cultured country' and the speciality of India lies in the fact of various religion existing and their teaching. Today festivals are only meant for enjoyment purpose. Let me make it very clear that the festivals which were intro. By our ancestors served only as the source of gratitude towards God and humanity not for intro. Of various pollution. ITS A HIGH TIME GUYS WAKE UP! SAVE INDIA 4M DEGRADING AND LOSING ITS ROOTS.

First of all let ask one thing why blame youth for the degradation of moral values. These are taught by our parents and elders. Also media, networking sites, education system etc. ?The enhancing cut throat competition and 'survival of fittest' type of attitude. But they still prevail though under a veiled. 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 It is true that modernity kills morals.

There is no use on blaming anybody. This is time to think and act SO PLEASE.

Teenage is the age in which parents can build moral values in teens. We can not blame parents for not giving such values. A teen is spending hours from 7:30 to 3:00 in school, then 2 or 3 hrs in coaching classes, then home work, projects, assignments and on many more things, how much time parents get to teach these things. So parents are also helpless. Parents also want their kids to maintain moral values and relationship skills. There should be some programs either by schools or others to let teen be understood these values and to adopt the same.

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.
