Abstract


What would be the future of ideal social and moral values? Will it be faded away and the old values will appear with a new nomenclature and a reversed but a parallel value structure for will appear and two contending value forces (traditional values and modern values) will be in conflict? Will the postmodern value-spell engulf our identity of humanity? Will it be human more than human? Will morality be a sin? The rise of individualism and selfish attitude thus create value hazard. This is unthinkable for our predecessors and we people. Japan, a country with globalization boom experiences such a value trauma
