Answers
Answer:
Morality originating from the Latin word ‘moralitas’ refers to “manner, character, proper behavior" which differentiates intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are good and bad. They are acceptable standard of general conduct or behavior when judged by an average person or the society at large. Morality plays a healthy synthesis between people, co-operate each other in a harmonic manner, understand the right or wrong differentiation makes a value based society. Moral values reduce social problems like unrest, social erosion, crime, separatism, class conflict, isolation, lack of well being and after all collective distance. Morals are influenced by family, society, culture and social values etc. The agents of education such as the family, school, church and the society are to play a role in ensuring that moral values are passed on to the child as he/she comes in contact with them. The child fulfill the expected norms of the society depends on the way as he/she has been brought up by his first point of contact (the parents) with the world. Unfortunately, due to several social and economic factors, many families are disoriented, disorganized and confused and therefore have failed woefully to play this vital role. In past social organization of the society played responsible role in framing and implementing value based moral responsibilities. But society at present has been experiencing conflict regarding value-based moral degradation particularly of youth and in reality it cannot be denied that there is no ideology in the society which can bring them a value-based livelihood and vision. The youths of today have been ensnared by youthful lusts, pride, arrogance, disrespect, disobedience and indiscipline; these are traits that can only grow out of habits for ‘thoughts bring forth acts, acts produce habits, while habits become character’. The changes in the family structure, advent of westernization, the media revolution, dirty policies etc. are speculated to have played a determining role in redefining the value systems in the Indian society. This has directly been bringing both moral degradation of youth and social deteriorate as well. Moral orientation in the Indian youth is facing a notable shift that needs to be thinking and work upon seriously
