Are Moral Values and Ethics Fading in Today’s Generation?
Starting with today’s generation also known as genz generation these are people born roughly around 1997-2012 Which is our future youth and growing stars who’ll make us proud in the near future.
Commonly referred as the digitalized for the computer generation they have grown up in a world shaped and so rounded by the internet, smartphones, social media, ai, and rapid technological advancements.
Gen Z has grown up with the internet and smartphones as a part of everyday life. They can find information within seconds, connect with people from around the world, and learn new skills online. This generation is often seen as creative, confident, straightforward and open minded. They are also more aware of social issues and are not afraid to express their opinions or bring about change.
Coming to the second highlight of the article which is social ethics and moral values. So basically they are the qualities that a person possesses which basically includes honesty, punctuality, Respect, kindness, humanity Empathy ,fairness loyalty towards society and people around you It guides what a person is how his or her personality is Also leading us to how to behave and interact with the people around us, making us and shaping us into a better human being.
Talking about previous generations which are also known as gen Y so they were raised in an environment where in moral values would closely connected to traditions and people living together in a joint family staying together number one roof with harmony Not living together, focus and then bite the values of population, empathy, understanding, each other and being together With sharing responsibilities and duties. Taught from an early age, the societal norms wherein they were told to respect the elders, speak politely towards them, where in I would like to include an exception, that if an elder is being disrespectful to them Or if they feel that their opinion is contradictory or controversial, they had no right to express their opinions. Change the statement. All the persons point of you as age was a dominant feature feature and they were taught to respect elders and listen to whatever they say. There were fixed societal norms. They were made to practise traditions and they were quite rigid. But there’s a G pretty somehow led to shaping of a disciplined and punctual individual Which would at times of the personal freedom and personal opinion
Another major factor is honesty. I’m staying on your words. There was no magic relation to selfishness and every thing was very poor in which we lack nowadays.
Stepping on to today’s generation Nowadays, kids have grown up around them and mutually people live in nuclear family Having greater independence and freedom and the right to make their own decisions as you are not restricted to listening to elders like grandparents and other relatives in the joint family system. Coming to value such as honesty I have the specs and empathy. Nowadays the motion express it taking stands for their opinion, expressing their opinion statements without any hesitation and the fear of being judged or being pressurised by societal norms. This generation has freedom to choose what they want to do what they want to pursue what they want to follow. What did respect what about respect They are more aware about social topics like mental health, LGBTQ is always and news what’s happening around the world. Compare to previous time. This society now become less rigid and parents now gives freedom to their kids to choose what they want to pursue what they want to do. And now they have the right to state what they feel and sleep. Take opinion whether the topic is contradictory or controversial.
Keeping in mind nowadays genz Don’t anything for fear of being judged or not bounded by societal norms, thereby were able to express their opinions, more openly and with confidence that is why people at times feel that the lack social ethics and values if the values of environmental I’m not being used for your confidence is not over shadowing your ethics. That time it is controversial as people think that being confident and people to thrash of opinion for keeping your point of you view is lacking behind so so so people need to understand that the line between stating your opinion on the confident about it and being rude and not respecting your ethics and social values.
In the end, I would like to say that In my opinion, today’s generation is not losing its values; it is adapting to a changing world. However, no matter how society changes, ethics, respect, kindness, and responsibility should always remain our guiding principles.
