Modern value-system

Aversion of modern generation, especially of youths, from traditional and moral systems and values has made life of modern society “nasty, brutish and short”. Gradual disappearance of traditional value system along with chase of materialism based on ruthless competition, favoritism, in-discipline, violence, corruption has weakened the social fabric beyond repair. Scientific progress has endowed man with tremendous power both to preserve and destroy. At slightest provocation, he does not hesitate to unleash destructive powers accessible to him. There are alarming disparities of power, wealth and culture amongst different sections of society. In total, because of complete centralization of control systems, a few individuals having political, money or muscle power rule and control destiny of millions of people.

Attempts for social changes has made a virtue of narrow loyalties of class, caste, creed or religion, generating sub-cultures like favoritism, lure for easy money, nepotism and, in-discipline in the society. Sectional conflicts are increasing day by day. Regional imbalances generate social and psychological tensions. Work culture has also degenerated to a great extent. Rule of law gets adversely effected due to under-currents of sectarian politics, which makes the task of governance difficult and ineffective.
