There are so many temptations which surrounds our life today like addiction, alcoholism, prostitutions and abortion. Moral teachings in our lives would still be relevance? Can we truly say to our own self that we are honest and pure in our actions?
Morality guides our youth to be responsible with his/her actions. It helps us to distinguish what is right from wrong. It provides us a sense of direction of what is right from wrong. It provides is a sense of direction of what we do in life. Also, it helps us to avoid vices which can ruins our lives. It serves as our conscience to respect and obey the right of other people. I guides us to achieves the standard norms in the society. I believe that our youth serve as a foundation of morality. Will you agree on that?

yes morality is very important and its all in the world .Temptations are around as well as morality is also there only.If we have the right things doing then the temptation will just go off our way. When we make a positive approach the definetly we can go off the negative things.

Moral grouds start to erode when a youth starts to grow up into adulthood and start to bear the responsibility of an adult.Start to get fall into tempatatoin during working laying,stealing and such because to prevent lost of profit and further problems better to lie than hear the music.I guess a child when young should be taught the foudation of moral. So tat when he is an adult he can made the choise wisely.

Yes i totally agree into your morality fact, in Today's world temptations are a part of life we face them day to day, and we tend to do innumerable mistakes in day due to temptations. There can be tempts of dishonesty, lust, anger, selfishness and so on. It is very necessary to remain in touch with God and be spiritually strong because to win this war these are weapons of Devil which he uses to deceive us, Only God can provide Armour to you in this situation and we need strong faith as a weapon. If a man is tempted God also provides him a way from it. Our Morality decides us what to do wrong or correct it helps us to find the correct situation in life.

Temptations come in different forms. It could be in form of too much eating, which could lead to gluttony. It could be in form of hunger for power, which eventually turns into greed.
It is just us , to control the urge to succumb to them.

The kind of nature , honesty u will develop mainly depends upon the kind od surroundings u have born and brought up
I mean if u drink a lot than there is no surprise if ur child also drinks
there are many evils prevailing in our society but the important thing is under what circumstances they grow
Everyone is little bit of responsible for this

all that i can say is we have a freewill on our own, since these are a free country.... we will suffer Karma at the end if it is wrong.....
it is very hard to do what i right for very easy to do bad things....
and if you do good deeds, no one remembers....
while if you even did one wrong action, nobody forgets.....

Morality is important but you need something to back it up. For instance, when I was young I was tempted many times and would have given in except I was worried what my family would say if they found out.
Many young people today don't care what their families think of them so they have no aversion to immoral acts. Others have been taught one thing by their parents only to see the parents do that very thing--don't steal, but when a person gives the parent too much change they don't say anything.

I think that life is always going to be filled with temptations for us. it is up to us to choose which temptations are worth having and which ones should be shied away from. @obe212003 (2299)

yes, as early as possible. Good morals tends to mold young minds on some restrictions with their actions as to definitely distinguish "right or wrong" based on what is "good and bad" and i do agree that conscience dictates our actions based on what is embedded in our minds.
