In the present social conditions, ethical behavior has been
degraded and forgotten by the society and the individuals.
Ethics and morality are used to protect demagogy by which

enter the human mind. Justice is upset, feelings displaced,
discontent is great and causes the evil to spread throughout
the world. The essence of good life is buried, ethical norms
and values abandoned.
