Friends, a lot of talk is going on that now a days, kids are no good, they dont behave, people are not ethical, they are so selfish and self-centered. Everything and everywhere is a mess so on and so forth. So I wonder, is there any way or any thing that we could do to change this trend. There is just no point in just pointing fingers at people who we think do bad or behave badly. If so, what is the action one should take to change this. Can we help to make the world a little better?

Hi shrinek! That's a good discussion there. You see friend, the word "CHANGE" is actually not an easy task. It it something that is very difficult to do and one who is involve in it will have to be bold and tighten up his/her belt in order to embark on change. It is very posible to make a change, but its not going to be an easy thing. (If you are Christian) The bibles tells us more on what Jesus said in Mathew 24:1-30 what we should be expecting in the end time. He said that the world will suffer things like wars, hunger, terrorism etc and we are seing them happening, but He (Jesus) said the end is yet to come. All this things are happening not because they are suppose to happen, but because of the sins of men. People no longer want to do the things of God and they go ahead doing things their own way. Thanks and have a great day.

Of late both parents have started working outside home could be one of the reasons for not moulding the character of a child from the childhood. The influence of TV and Computer games is another horrible thing that is spoiling their mind. Parents should spend more time with children (after school and games and participate in the child's curriculam.

We need to have a positive attitude with our kids and if we cannot change ourselves, our kids will not change. If they do not obey us, it is our fault, not theirs. We are responsible for their behaviour and it is we who has to find out the ways to imporve them.

i think that it's important that the change happen from within first, before we mind other people because if we don't change ourselves then we would just be contributing more damages to the world. and then after that we can start to affect other people. give people your time and show them that there's really no need for nastiness nor self-centeredness. i guess it's hard to just change a person who has grown to be selfish and rude. for instance when you go to the grocery store, some people couldn't help but cut in line and i think it's because they have grown up with this notion that it's okay to do so. so i guess the best thing we can do to remedy this is to just teach the people closest to us and to let them know that we ought to live with values.
