Our Society and Value system

The way our society is going nobody knows what will happen next, the worst part is no body is ready to take responsibility first we have to understand that our basic concepts are lost in this materialistic world,for any society there are three pillars to support and build the society namely 1) Parents, 2) Media and 3) Teachers, and the problem is all of them are not ready to share their part of responsibilities,

First of all it start with parents, in today's world everyone behind money who cares how it's coming and on what cost, previously we used to have joint families, where most of the times two generations used to stay together, and third generation automatically learn the culture and other things even if both parents are working someone there in the home to take care childrens so there is balance in children growth, where as due to socio-economic problems more and more nuclear families you will find ( now one step further people are going for live -in relations, wait for next blog), all these young couples have high ambitions in their life and their wants are unlimited. When the family start growing both parent not fulfilling their part of responsibility as most of the time both are working, they send the child in day care, or if he is going to school, they feel happy if they spend money on their child demand (no matter right or wrong), they give money for pizza and think they have fulfilled their part, and due to this most of the time children either watching movies, TV, or Internet as media is accessible to them they are exposed to all kind of information,and they are not intelligent enough to decide what is right and what is wrong,

Second part, Media, so many channels are mushroomed and being a commercial enterprise their prime motto is earning money, at any cost, they say, they show what society is demanding, in fact it is reverse, they show what they want to and it is a proven fact when you are exposed to wrong habits and information for a longer period you will also start changing your habits as your thinking is alterned like a slow poisoning, where is the social responsibility of these business, or they have forget.....

and third and the last, Teachers, there were times when teachers were given highest status in the society, our vedas even say Guru is having higher status than God., now in present we don't have good teacher and at the same time the generation also not ready to give proper respect to their teachers, now we should not move to other topic so we stick to teacher only, now most of them are interested in making money by tuition, and previously we used to have teacher by choice, as they love this profession but know they come in this profession when they have found that no other option is left, ( I am not telling that there are not good teachers but we here talking about the majority of them), now as money is the main criteria and the basic values are missing therefore they are also not in a position to pass value system in their student and therefore...when the basics are missing how you can think of making a good society.
Once someone said that if you want to destroy a country no need for any weapon, just destroy their culture and values thru media bombardment and soon they will finish, now here we our self destroying our society, and than we blame on others, crime rate is going high, ......think about it, at least we can start from our house.....and believe me it will make a difference....
