Paragraph : Social Value

Social Value

Social value means acceptable and admirable norms of behaviour in the society. In the past, honesty, sincerity, truthfulness, piety, fellow-feeling etc. were considered as social values We know that honesty is the best policy. But, it is a sorrow that this social value has no longer existed now. Now the criminals are honoured as heroes of the society. People feel frightened to speak against their evil deeds. The cause of the present social degradation is materialistic attitude of people in general. Without a few exceptions, people now run after money, fame and fortune without giving any thought to right or wrong, good or evil, moral or immoral. The effects of social values in the present age are very deplorable. The noble qualities are now exiled. However, social values should be preserved by the way of raising awareness among the people.
