By moral values, we mean those values principles, and beliefs on which a person’s personal and social development depends. These are the rules by which we make decisions about right and wrong, should and shouldn’t, good and bad. Moral values develop the character of a person. It is very truly said that “If Wealth is gone, nothing is gone. If health is gone, something is gone. But if the character is gone, everything is gone.”
Teaching moral values is necessary for the all-round development of a person. It includes discipline, manners, and etiquette, behaviour, control over oneself, politeness, strength, patriotism, love, and care for each other. Moral values are also necessary for developing healthy and friendly relations with others. Loss of moral values is a direct loss of the country. A child must be given moral education at an early stage. He must be taught the importance of moral, ethical, and family values. By Family values, we mean to have good thoughts, good intentions and good deeds, to love and to care for those whom we are close to and are part of our groups or communities, like parents and other family members and friends too. They must learn to treat others with the same set of values with which they wish to be treated. Ethical values can be defined as a set of principles of right conduct. A child must learn moral values in school, many of the schools teach the students to develop their character through books, moral stories, essays, and plays. It is one of the best ways to impart a set of moral values and principles to a child. These days, we see some students misbehaving with teachers and elders, people encouraging wrong behaviour, thus deteriorating moral values. They start believing in injustice, tyranny, or maybe cowardness. Moral principles hold the people together. So, there is a need for a set of moral principles and values to be imparted in the children to make them better and responsible citizens.
