In the year 2007 alone 392 people were killed there in violence. All those who were killed were common people, specifically blacks. But the number of common people killed in attacks in Kashmir in the same year is 170. Kashmir has five times the population of Philadelpia. But America's Philadelpia is rife with murder, the cause being easy availability of weapons & race discrimination. Is your question answered?

I don't deny schools also have responsibility to teach human values.

But making it as a compulsary subject won't make any difference ..Students will try to get maximum marks in papers ,not sure how far they will apply in life.

Petrorukku human values theriyallinna ,school-la evvaLavu thaan solli koduthaalum waste thaan.

Petrorukku yaar solli koduppa-nnu kekkureenga ..It is not a academic qualification and something to get certified ..Parents should want to see their children not only as a qualified academically ,but also a good human being with social concious.

The necessity to teach and to have human values is definitely important (everyone has a respo in getting this education - parents, schools, society, govt.). This is easier said than done in a time period where we're living in critical times and all values are on the downfall.

However, will having human values alone solve such incidents? A big NO! I have often seen a crowd of people with lot of "human values" (often villagers) gathering together on the CBE-Palakkad highway whenever an accident takes place, showing a lot of sympathy-empathy etc, causing big traffic hold-ups, women & children crying etc and finally the accident victim dying. (the truck driver who hit often stops the truck and runs away, fearing his own life).

Obviously more is needed, primarily a robust "emergency support system" with trained personnel and extensive network. This is not as difficult to create IMO (at least easier to create than embedding human values in all :) ) provided those in authority have the will. How much % of budget goes into such systems?

I think ,Home has more responsibility than school in this aspect ..Parents should give importance and set an example for children ,instead of making their children as marks making mechine.

For those with no parents?

No definite answer exists as to who bear the responsibility to give moral lessons. I was neither given nor taught, but learned it by myself.

if we had (more) parents who wanted their children to be good human beings with social conscious ...we wouldn't have had so many inhuman acts in our countries :(

nammakkenna petrorogal(naama) kettkiradhe niruthinaale ...paatthi human values katthukitta maari thaan :P


apropos making it as a cumpulsary studies, they must encourage students to do good by taking students to do social works etc.

Well said!!!... I have had a similar experience where ppl were trying to get some vehicle to take the victim to the hosp... they were trying to stop the passing vehicles & when we offered ours, they started giving us great advices like "ponnunga ellam irukaanga.avanga bayanthiduvaanga", "police prechnai aagidum","courtku alaya vendi varum" etc etc... :twisted:

I think even to "delink" the good samaritan from the legal consequences wasn't there till a few years back. Many used to fear the possibility of police-court business and avoid helping victims. I think it's no longer the case (someone please correct me if this is a legal issue even now). Similarly, I think there are some improvements in non-govt. hospitals accepting accident victims too in the recent years. It was horrible a couple of decades back when they won't take you in.

Definitely such improvements are saving lives compared to previous years. Now, what's really needed is a fleet of emergency vehicles, trained man-power and good communication network. All these can be easily provided by the govt. (though it's more difficult to create other infrastructure like roads).

Teaching human values in the school, especially in India is a joke!

Teaching human values at home is more sensible.
