Pervasive shamelessness in the modern society

Lack of shame has become a norm in modern society, where the emphasis on economic growth and technological advancement overshadows basic human values, leading to widespread unhappiness, hunger and poverty. Material developments can make people’s lives easy but cannot bring happiness, which needs social harmony.

The present educational system promotes rote learning for getting higher grades in exams while almost neglecting moral education. Scholars come out of schools with a cut throat competitive spirit devoid of human values like honesty and truth.

In politics, politicians exploit concepts like nationalism, patriotism and sovereignty to stick to their leadership positions. Political and religious persecutions drive away people to safer regions. Often politicians and business men collaborate to deceive people.

Socially, children witness unethical behaviours from all around- parents engaging in fraud to become rich; media sensationalism and professionals ( medical, legal and tax consultants) charging exorbitant fees. This pervasive shamelessness, rooted in societal constructs like materialism, religion, castes and the like hinders the progress of civilization to the better position. Being slaves to these social concepts themselves people are unable to revolt against malpractices indulged in by shameless politicians and religious bigots even though they are quite aware of it. Shamelessness will continue to plague society if people are not weaned away from the detrimental effects of these social constructs.

Interesting post, but it doesn't seem to finish. "Shamelessness will continue to plague society if people are not weaned away from the detrimental effects of these social constructs."

Weaned away to what?
