The article "Declining Human Values" by C.P. Hariharan discusses the alarming decline in human values, attributing it to an increasing population and a growing materialistic mindset. People are judged based on their wealth rather than their moral character, leading to societal disparities and unrest. The absence of moral education in schools has resulted in apathetic and unpredictable behaviors among individuals, with a significant loss of mutual trust and respect for one another. Despite making promises to family, people often fail to honor commitments to others. Respect for individuals, particularly the elderly and pedestrians, has diminished, and moral principles are seemingly lost. The author emphasizes the critical role of teachers in shaping behavior, noting that lessons learned in childhood have lasting impacts. Additionally, the rise of information technology has led to a more insular lifestyle, with families becoming smaller and more self-centered. The overall conclusion is that society has reached a point where the respect and moral values that once existed are unlikely to return.
