[mukto-mona] FW: Declaration of Jan 1 as 'National Ethics Day' demanded: We support the idea--editorial

“We agree with the main issue raised. There is need for an Ethics day though it is true that ethics and morality is not a one day affair. Morality is an issue which is of paramount concern to individuals and societies at all times.Though we may be said to be back dated, till we want to emphasize that what happens in the midnight beginning with zero hour of Ist January is un explainable. Some people just lose balance and show wild behavior in the streets at that hour of night. In the hotels and bars they involve in drinking and sexual orgy. This happens more in the West and some other countries. It is still less in our country. Our religion and moral code do not permit such conduct. There is need to speak out against this. If others do not at least some press and religious leaders should do it.” (last para of the editorial)

Declaration of Jan 1 as 'National Ethics Day' demanded: We support the idea

Daily Star has reported that speakers at an event yesterday demanded that January 1 be declared as “National Ethics Day” to motivate the country's youths to embrace moral and ethical practices. There has been a degradation of values and morals in today's world, with widespread corruption polluting the nation, they said. Bangladesh Ethics Club organized the event, including a discussion and cultural programme, at TSC in Dhaka University.Dr AK Abdul Momen, permanent representative of Bangladesh to UN, and Dr Ziauddin Ahmed, professor of Drexel University, US, also addressed the programme.

We agree with the main issue raised. There is need for an Ethics day though it is true that ethics and morality is not a one day affair. Morality is an issue which is of paramount concern to individuals and societies at all times.Though we may be said to be back dated, till we want to emphasize that what happens in the midnight beginning with zero hour of Ist January is un explainable. Some people just lose balance and show wild behavior in the streets at that hour of night. In the hotels and bars they involve in drinking and sexual orgy. This happens more in the West and some other countries. It is still less in our country. Our religion and moral code do not permit such conduct. There is need to speak out against this. If others do not at least some press and religious leaders should do it.
