Synopsis

The present age is marked by a profound crisis of human values, as rapid technological advancements, globalization, and shifting cultural dynamics challenge traditional ethical frameworks. This crisis is manifested in various forms, including increasing materialism, declining empathy, and a weakening of communal bonds. The erosion of core values such as honesty, compassion, and respect has led to widespread social unrest, ethical dilemmas, and a sense of moral ambiguity. This paper examines the causes and consequences of the crisis in human values, exploring how contemporary societal pressures, such as consumerism, digital communication, and individualism, have contributed to this decline. It also discusses the urgent need for a revival of human values to restore ethical integrity, promote social cohesion, and address the moral challenges of the modern world. By recognizing and responding to this crisis, society can work towards rebuilding a foundation of shared values that support sustainable development and a more just and compassionate world.
