RISING ABOVE SOCIAL BARRIERS

A new generation is commonly blamed by the former for showing lack of moral judgment including - "destruction of family values" and whatever's out of order in general society. It's not genetics but the immediate environment that heavily influence our social conduct; not conscience but social pressure that determines our attitude. 


All life-form will inevitably adapt and conform to its immediate environment, whether that environment proves hospitable or hostile. An irrational mind is as guilty of its thoughts as a seedling is guilty of deforestation. Yet it is the nature of humans; to maintain a super-ego requires an escapegoat to bear the burden of misfortune. 

How can social discrimination be resolved? Certainly not by blaming each other, or criminalising an unborn generation. To be sustainable, solutions should make provisions for - constitutional reform, social acceptance (inclusion of differences), commonalities strengthening, and free exchange of ideas. 

The rights of a child or a single social group ought not to outweigh the rights of the entire community. However, unified we can overcome the obstacles of Nation building. With the constant support of concerned community members, a child can grow to be a healthy positively productive member of society. When and where the child fall short of the moral expectations, provisions are there in place to more accurately indicate, evaluate and rehabilitate. ~ CR
