Young Generation:Our and Their Duties
The young generation in most of the countries in the world are facing a more difficult situation than the olderr generations.They are facing very serious problems of gigantic proportion.First one is the present financial crisis.which will affect all , old and new.This crisis has exposed the greed of the moneyed people, the Boards and CEOs of the companies and their irresponsible risk taking to the detriment of the interest of humanity.It has been proved that neither one hundred percent controlled economy nor one hundred percent market economy are workable or sustainable in the long run.The solution lies in a market economy under strict supervision of the state or Hisba in Islamic economic term.You can call it Islamic economy or welfare economy or by any other name.Second crisis the world is facing is climate change and envirironmental degradation of immense proportion which is the result of human folly because of greedy capitalists and governments who did not care for the environment in the process of industrialisation.We are all suffering now but the burnt will be mostly on the young generation and the future generations. Third is moral degradation. Large sections of People have become selfish, un-principled, robot-like without sensivity to human suffering,hedonist always looking for enjoyment,sexually pervert and promiscuous. This selfishness is reflected in politics, international relations and business.Why so much disparity iamong various sections of people. The super rich individuals and countries around the world have become so rich only by depriving the labor (by the manufacturers ) or giving less price to the raw-material producers by industrialists or importing countries with more bargaining strength .They have also amassed wealth by charging more price from the consumers or importing countries with less bargaining power. In this context young generation must realise the dangers to humanity and fight against all these to save humanity.The believers can do it only through imbibing the true spirit of guidance of God.We do not find any way for atheists. They can not change the world as they do not have permanent value and as they have no accoutiblity. Most unfortunately the young feneration is under the grip of the moral degradation we have described above.They have to be prepared in a morally sound way with faith in heart and idealism.The parents have to realise this,they have to put in their heart high moral qualities.This can be done by teaching them from the lives of moraly sound great people in history.The teachers have to play a great role to save them from immorality and materialism.The education system should give more emphsis on moral and ethical education.The media has great responsibility.They should purge them from vulgarity and should promote decent culture and behavior , not nudity and porno type films
