Dr. Ab Waheed Shah
Moral values are set of principles
which help us evaluate what is good
and what is bad!
Moral values are a set of some
precious values which help us in
becoming a good human being. These
values involve a lot of factors like
morality, respecting others, helping
others, loving others, etc.
We can attain the right and virtuous
behavior if we follow the moral values
with complete honesty. Reading moral
stories is a good way to learn about
moral values.
Moral concerns to the principle of
right and wrong. It relates to some
standard, code and conduct. The
values relating to the conduct of a
person are called moral values. So
moral values refer to the behaviour of
man towards man in the home, in
society, in economic fields and in the
life of outside world. Generally, man is
not born moral. He possesses certain
impulses.
Education enables him to control these
animal impulses through the
development of higher values of life,
worthy interest, lofty ideals and noble
ideas. Moral values should be inculcated
from very early childhood. At home,
physical habits and mental attitudes are
formed in the children which lead to the
development of moral values. Good
manners are important for cultivation of
moral values.
Good manners help us to refine our
behaviour by removing the harshness
in our words.
