Case Study
Q3. You grew up in a rural village where everyone knew everyone else. There was a natural bonhomie amongst all that transcended the barriers of religion, caste, economic status and others. You learnt the importance of love, care, compassion, brotherhood and more such things in this morality-enabling environment.
However, you had to move to a major metropolitan city owing to your higher studies. Here, you found the environment to be drastically different. Your landlord hardly cared about your financial situation, rent had to be paid, no matter any financial challenges or difficulties. The doctors treated you but not with any genuine care or kindness for you. People interacted only when they needed something from you. Your college also consists of teachers more interested in completing the syllabus rather than being genuinely concerned for your well-being and your friends were only interested in your gadgets and your fashion sense.
From an energetic young youth who was morally courageous and happy, you have turned into a pale human being questioning and doubting yourself at every given opportunity.
In the context of the above case study, answer the following questions:
-
-
- What would you in your moral capacity advise the concerned person in the case study, if given a chance?
- What explains the differing nature of people in rural and metropolitan areas?
- What measures might you suggest for changing the unhealthy nature of people in metropolitan areas as found in the above case study?
