GROUP DISCUSSION ON INCURRING VALUES

Values are set of identities that make an individual ethically existent. But the question here is, should it be imposed or self-actuated? Why is it that we have moral sciences/value based education in our junior classes? Is it that society has lost all morality that we need to keep reminding it of ideals?

Well , the discussion unfolded with students giving their views on the same , describing what they feels values are and how 'values' have existed in a society which is a very closely knit framework.

Values are core beliefs that guide and motivate attitudes and actions. They are independent of race, religion, creed and state. A child is never taught to inculcate something which is wrong or of which is erroneous. It is the fading away of values with time that have led to a futile environment and their entailment needs to be kept a check on.

 GD was on values and how each and everything around us affect in incurring  values in us...and whether the values can be forced in someone to change his or her perception....

The values are the morals which we start inculcating in us right from the birth. Our parents are the best source...they give us values, Ethics. Morals...but as we grow...we are exposed to many changes around us...which can have an influence on our pre build perception of what values are...but at the same time the values are an individualistic approach of visualizing a situation. They cannot be forced in but they can only be taught and an individual can be sensitized with the help of various sources like media. Newspaper...cinema...but can never be forcefully inculcated in someone...

We are a result of what we are born with, that is our nature, and what we learn to become, that is nurture.

To be a learned person, it is not sufficient to be educated, but to have an insight into everything around you.

Having knowledge in every field makes you find out what suits you best, what you are best at.

I feel it is equally important to gain knowledge from every possible source, or rather treat every experience, every encounter in life as a lesson.
