Morality is the attempt of human being to define what is ethical and nonethical about our deeds and thinking, and what is right and wrong about our own being, we who are living in the society. Morality is something on which our whole society is built. A society which is endowed with lofty values makes progress positively. On the other hand, a society in which values deteriorate, slowly but surely will degenerates. The present society is a "quick make culture" society, which moves at rapid strides towards the progress. As it progresses in quick pace towards net banking, e-learning, online purchasing, chart, satellites, nano technology, wireless services, instagram, face book, twitter, face time etc. so do its values deteriorate at similar phase, from joint families to nuclear families, telephones to internet, sincerity to bribery, trust to manipulation, cosy homes of elderly to the old age homes etc. From the basic unit of society, the family, to the whole world the problem of the deterioration of values progressively increasing and it is moving with such a phase that it becomes difficult to grasp the speed of it. As long as we do not take a note of this and act on it conversely it is going to devour the society and the growth towards building of a strong nation would be stunned. It is the need of the hour to make and implement some constructive approaches for the youth on which the country's present and future depends; otherwise it will be too difficult to make a positive and harmonic atmosphere of mortality and humanity.

Abstract


Morality is the attempt of human being to define what is ethical and nonethical about our deeds and thinking, and what is right and wrong about our own being, we who are living in the society. Morality is something on which our whole society is built. A society which is endowed with lofty values makes progress positively. On the other hand, a society in which values deteriorate, slowly but surely will degenerates. The present society is a "quick make culture" society, which moves at rapid strides towards the progress. As it progresses in quick pace towards net banking, e-learning, online purchasing, chart, satellites, nano technology, wireless services, instagram, face book, twitter, face time etc. so do its values deteriorate at similar phase, from joint families to nuclear families, telephones to internet, sincerity to bribery, trust to manipulation, cosy homes of elderly to the old age homes etc. From the basic unit of society, the family, to the whole world the problem of the deterioration of values progressively increasing and it is moving with such a phase that it becomes difficult to grasp the speed of it. As long as we do not take a note of this and act on it conversely it is going to devour the society and the growth towards building of a strong nation would be stunned. It is the need of the hour to make and implement some constructive approaches for the youth on which the country's present and future depends; otherwise it will be too difficult to make a positive and harmonic atmosphere of mortality and humanity.
