Answer 1

"Live your days on the positive side of life, in tune with your most treasured values. And in each moment you'll have much to live for.", says Ralph Marston. Unfortunately, with the passing time, the strength of ethics and moral value fabric is weakening. Positive moral values and ethics are important because they allow you to have an overall feeling of peace and joy. Moral values can give meaning and purpose to your life. You are able to direct your behavior towards beneficial and fulfilling activities. When you live your life according to moral values that are based on honesty, compassion, courage, modesty, and forgiveness, then you can also form positive bonds with other people. Incorporating the moral value of honesty in your life make you trustworthy. You will have a clear conscience because you can respect yourself. The people that you come into contact with will be able to count on you to be fair and sincere. Your integrity will allow you to advance in both your personal and professional life. There are more opportunities for you to fully experience life when you are an honest person. A man with more values and ethics is admired by one and all. Success in any field demands high moral standards from those who aspire for it. All the great men of all times have one thing in common. Their moral values are their rock. 

Unfortunately, the moral values of the youth in the contemporary times have deteriorated. All they seek is pleasure, by hook or crook. When pleasure becomes your chief concern, values are bound to suffer. Low academic grades, addiction to bad habits, failures, are indicators of poor moral values, which will further have its serious repercussions on mental and physical health.
In such times, teachers and parents can play a crucial role in explaining to the young children the importance of sound moral value system. They can teach them these values by being excellent role models.
