Read the passage. Then answer the
question below.
Severe
moral degradation is a crucial problem of mankind which is seriously affecting
the peaceful and meaningful living of human beings. In society, morality is the
main source of development of the heavenly qualities like love, affection,
heavenly feelings, respect and appreciation for others. It is moral values and
institutions which ensure establishment of social peace, order and justice.
There is no denying the fact that morality is the best virtue of mankind and
any individual, social and global level. Without attaching the essence of
morality, a fruitful, honest and durable democratic, socio-economic
administrative and judicial institution can never be dreamt of. Social ills and
vices, in most cases, occur mainly due to human activities devoid of moral
sense. So, it is necessary to develop moral awareness and conscience among the
world’s people irrespective of colour, religion and nationality by arranging
seminars, symposia at different levels of society to motivate and encourage the
people of all strata to accelerate moral uplift from their respective families
to social levels.
