मूल्यों (वैल्यूज) को बढ़ाने में विभिन्न संस्थानों की भूमिका
School
In school, children are affiliates of a small society that exerts a great influence on their moral development. Teachers serve as role model to students in school. They play a major role in inculcating their ethical behaviour.
Some peers at school diffuse confidence about cheating, lying, stealing etc. Though there are rules and regulations, the educational institutions pervade the value education to the children in an informal way. They play a key role in developing ethical behaviour in children.
The children should be exhilarated to be accountable for their own actions and should learn to respect and treat others kindly.
The teachers are the
first role model to the children outside their family. When the children see
the model showing concern for others, motivating them for their good deeds and
cooperating and helpful with their academic issues, the children learn them by observing
and imitate it with fellow peers.
Helping- The children
are taught basic morals and values in school. They should be taught by
emphasizing the idea through many activities, stories and tales, which will
encourage them to engage in more helping behaviours.
Appreciation- The
teacher should appreciate the children for developing pro-social behaviour,
especially for any specific action they have done to help others. It is
appraised that human values enhances person’s life but in present scenario,
these values are deteriorated in several countries. This trend of weakening in
human values does not only pose serious threat to the future course of
development of the nation but even for its survival, respect and authority
itself. However, change in social/human values in younger group is unavoidable
with time but the decline in Indian youth group is at disturbing rate as
compared to other country around the globe.
Family
· Family is the basis on which values are
built.
· There is a strong bonding between the
parents and children, which determines the personality of child.
· The value system
practiced in the family becomes automatic to the young family members if they
are taught moral values thoroughly. The family has a great responsibility to
pass on to the children many truths and values, and competencies to accomplish
their place in life, whatever the society, whatever the culture or times.
· The eternal values of
Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Harmlessness (Non-Violence) are
transmitted on first through the family.
· Mothers are the first
teachers. Mother is foundational, central, life-bringer and life-shaper. From
their mothers, children acquire self-knowledge, self-confidence, learn
self-satisfaction, self-worth, the capacity for self-sacrifice.
·
The family, forms the child’s viewpoint towards people
and society, and helps in mental development in the child and supports his
desires and values.

develop the love, affection, tolerance, and generosity. A child learns his
behaviour by demonstrating what he sees around him.

socialize and has great influence and bearing on the progress of the child.
·
In joint family system, the presence of elders in the
family plays an effective role in social and moral development of the children.
It will also aid young generation of the family to develop human values and
eliminate their negative mental tendencies when they are among elders.
·
Children recognize themselves with their parents, other
family elders and espouse them as their personal models for emulation and
imitation. The behavioural problems are set correct only by the involvement of
family in the child’s life as they spend most of their time in adolescence with
the parents.
·
Family is the first social organisation that provides the
immediate closeness from which the child can learn his behaviour.
·
Social standards and customs demarcated by a family
provide the emotional and physical basis for a child. Values developed by a
family are the groundwork for how children learn, grow and function in the
world. These principles, transmits the way of life a child lives and changes
into an individual in a culture. These values and morals guides the individual
every time in his actions.
·
Children turn out to be a good person because of the
value taught and given by his family members. Philosophies passed down from
generation to generation make up a family values. Customs and Traditions
followed and taught by the family leads a disciplined and organized life.
·
Families values helps the child to stand strong on his
views regardless of others efforts to break through with opposing views. A
child has a strong sense of what is right and wrong and are less likely to
become sufferers of deviant influences.
Society
Religion

is a major force in the lives of most people. Religion is above all, a meaning
system which naturally speaks to its adherents about right and wrong, good and
bad.

is one of the most important social institutions in the world and carries a set
of values that are to be imbibed by its followers.
· Moreover,
religion carries great weight among people particularly in India and thus,
plays key role in value inculcation.
Traditions and Customs
· Such
social practices are sincerely followed by people from generation to generation
and are thus steady ways to pass on values. Traditions and customs are also based on various values such as
loyalty (rakshabandhan), courage (Tilak) and thus their practice inculcating
the respective values.
Politics
· Politics
of the day is based on values i.e. what people want. Political issues and
promises shape the thought process and values pf people, especially young
citizens. For example, the Anti-Emergency Student Movement of 1975 inculcated
among youth the values of liberty, democracy, constitutionalism etc.
Economy
· The
nature of economy and market affects the value system of the players involved
and decides what is valued by people. For instance, socialist economy
inculcates values of unity, equity, temperance etc whereas economy inculcates
values of creativity, competition, prosperity etc.
Media
· In the
21st century. Media is continuously present around us in various
forms- electronic, print, digital etc. Mass media and mass communication
affects the values of the people by determining what people think, what people
give importance to and so on. For this reason, governments around the world try
to control the media so as to control the value system of the people.
Civil Society
· Social
and civic organizations mobilize people based on a common cause and promote
their cause using media, demonstrations etc. and thus, influence people’s
values. This happens through observation and inspiration among the masses. For
instance, the Jan Lokpal Movement in India in 2013 enhanced the values of
honesty and integrity among people.
Local community
· Every
local community has certain values and norms which passed on to everyone in the
community through the mechanism of social influence. This happens so as to
achieve social stability and harmony through common values. For instance, the
local Dongria Kondh tribal community of Odisha valued their sacred Niyamgiri
mountain more than jobs and livelihood and hence, fought against mining
projects.
Leadership
·
Social, political, economic and other leaders have
significant effect on values of people. They mould people’s attitudes through
persuasion. People also tend to imitate their leaders. Max Weber calls such
social authority as ‘Charismatic Authority’ through which leaders control
societies. For example, celebrities affect people’s values in terms of their
dressing, eating, behaviour etc.
