Paragraph - Social Value

Paragraph - Social Value

Social value refers to the acceptable norms or forms of a society. It may be called the code of conduct. Social value determines our course of life. It regulates our life and activities. In the past people put high importance on honesty, sincerity, truthfulness, and noble deeds. They lead a simple, decent and honest life. The corrupt persons were hated in the society. Everybody worked for social peace and order. People were very much conscious of their duties. But at present social values are decaying day by day. Now people who are dishonest and corrupted are in power and position. They are the heroes of the society. Nobody can protest against their injustice. Evil reigns over good. Greed for money and power, injustice, lack of morality, nepotism, corruption, ignorance, etc. are the causes of the present degradation of social value. Their effects are serious. Nowadays the younger do not show any respect to their superiors. Family ties are breaking down. Children are going to astray, getting drug addicted, and doing various anti-social activities. The present social value disturbs social peace and happiness and stops the development works. The condition has become a matter of great concern in our country. We should take some positive steps to upgrade social values. People should be properly educated. Our greedy and selfish attitude should be changed. Parents should take proper care of their children and give them moral teaching. The corrupted persons should be given exemplary punishment. Good deeds should be encouraged. Above all, public awareness should be raised in this regard. We should form the habit of doing good deeds in our children. Otherwise, as a nation we will invariably fall into great danger.
