Newspapers and the media channels carry the news of all wrong things that are prevailing in the society. About 80% of the times, the news headlines talk about murders, rapes, scandals and corruption. All this exemplifies the deterioration of the moral standards of the society. It is very important that we aim at building a better society and this is possible only and only if people come together and strive together for a common cause.
Nuclear families and busy lifestyles have taken away a lot of community programs that existed earlier. One can form groups and bring people together for a common cause like a sport or an entertainment. This will firstly break the barriers to communication and allow people from different creeds and strata to work together. One should organize small cultural programs where people understand various cultures and learn to respect them. This will encourage communal harmony. People living the same residential complexes can organize cleanliness drives and free medical camps to help the less privileged sectors of the society. People can come together and contribute old clothes, old shoes and books to the less privileged. This will somewhere help us to bridge the gap about absolute and relative poverty.
We can form a better society, only if we behave more responsibly. We need to drop the selfish masks and join our hands in creating a friendlier and more livable society. People will stop resorting to criminal practices only when they feel that they have been treated correctly. They will want to be fair to the society because the society has been fair to them. Building a culturally strong society is a long term goal and an ongoing activity.
