The Killing of Stephanie in Chennai
Is this the result of Americanisation of our society or is it the result of improvement in the Standard of living in our society or does it signal the beginning of the end of social values.
Why are youths roaming out of their homes at midnight. Why are parents allowing their children to be out so late. Is it that the parents want to survive from the money earned by their children working so late or is it that the parents themself are busy earning money so much so that they are not aware of their children dying. Is the concept of home and family dying in our society.
Mere punishing of the misguided youths in this case is not the solution. It seems the whole society, which is definitely responsible for the behaviour of the youths as well as the victim, which is misguided and losing it basic principle. We all have to learn to be human and identify others as human too. And the whole process is to begin in our own homes. Beware we may well have a Stephanie or the misguided youths in our own family.

Hi,thanks for your wishes Hari.. Liked your blog, but I dont think all hope is lost yet for society.Its just that we are evolving ,however the carry forward of social values, can only be done by the people, who unfortunately have no time to remember this important fact.
