Role of family:

  1. Inspiration: parents as role models
  2. Motivation and appreciation: → for positive acts done by children → Eg: theory of Thomas Alva Edison and his mother.
  3. Punishment: → for bad acts done → Eg: story of thief who fights his mother.
  4. Love and understanding → help in value inculcation → "Ethics of care" - Carol Gilligan

Role of society:

  1. "There is no such thing as a self-made man. We are all made up of 1000s of others"
  2. Life = "anubhav dwara" i.e., experiences in society shape values.
  3. Positive values from society → respect for elders → charity and service, etc.
  4. Negative values from society → corruption, etc.

Yet, education institutions complement both

  1. Teach cooperation, team work, team spirit (via group exercises, class room)
  2. Teach discipline (via attendance)
  3. Teach punctuality (via timetable)
  4. Teach accountability (via homework)
  5. Teach attentiveness (via classroom)
