Decisive factors behind moral attitude
- Upbringing by parents - as child learns first moral values from parents. As Talcott Parsons mentions the importance of socialisation.
- Peer group - our company determines our moral attitude. eg when our friends make fun of a poor boy, we see it as legitimate.
- Law - creates deterrence against immoral activities. eg: capital punishment to Nirbhaya rapists -> sends a positive message.
- Education - Moral science in school and influence of teachers.
- Our past experiences.
Incident from my life
My maid Rita Aunty had one daughter (16 years old) and son (22 years old). I came to know that she was searching a groom for her daughter Poonam. I changed her attitude towards child marriage by: -> Making aware about Child Marriage Prohibition Act -> Examples of girls studying and making parents proud -> Explaining the negative effects on reproductive health of young brides
Close
Thus, I was able to prevent her daughter's child marriage.
