Character Building Through the Value Education

Abstract

In today’s era, we find everyone is running behind career, position, competition, fulfillment etc., for such materialistic things, people are equipped to do everything at the cost of their values. In fact, they don’t realize what values mean. The fundamental principles of society are being destabilized. Family, education and communities are vital roles in building the character of every human being. In nuclear families where both parents work, it is not possible to meet all the expectations and desires of their child exclusively. In schools and colleges, students are a small community that exerts a remarkable impact on their character building. Value education can help build the good character of students and provide good human beings to society. In this study, an effort has been made to find out the reasons behind unacceptable behavior of young people and also to provide solutions. The research study has focused on the role of education and the role of teachers in the character-building of their students. The study strongly suggested an association of teachers, schools and colleges in the integration of value education in education.
