I blame it on the changing value system of our country. The days are gone when we were taught that good character is above all else. Every child was expected to grow up to be a 'good' citizen. Moral science was taught and practised by all. Now I wonder if 'sex education' has replaced 'moral science' in schools. There are 'Personality development courses' and no 'Character development'. 'Smart' has replaced 'good'. Honesty and hardwork are not fashionable. Rich and successful are in even if they are earned by 'other' means. Ends have justified means.
The only moral today is for every child to score more marks and for every grown up make more money. I have noticed how most conversations among ourselves concern only 2 topics- how to make money and how to save money.
