Moral Question and Access of Internet in Middle Class Families – part 2


The problem: How to make parents aware of Internet and how they should teach the moral aspects of internet to their children.

 The fact comes that many parents themselves are not interested in going to the cafes or anywhere for the internet coaching classes because they think that internet means chatting, watching videos, listening to songs, etc. but the fact that internet is much more than that and there should be a way out as to get the interest of parents regarding the internet.
The social, moral, cultural, religious and ethical value of internet must be known to the parents. The problem again the same how this should be achieved??

There is a lot off content over the internet which justifies all the values related to internet, but again how it should reach the common man? For that someone has to take initiative on a bigger scale that it reaches every mass in the world. For example Mark Zukerberg did, he touched the social value of the internet, creating facebook which results the involvement of one and all, and even those people have started using facebook who have never touched the internet. This kind of revolution is needed in the other values like moral values, cultural values, and religious values.

What the parents will do, who do not know internet and want their children to learn and access internet, but are worried because of social and moral values. They can’t wait for such a revolution in other sectors of social and moral values. Rather they should join or search for the ongoing revolutions which are unnoticed and can do wonders in the life of their children like what is done and is ongoing in education. There almost all the books related to any subjects are available on the internet. Hundreds and thousands of reference books are available related to almost all the subjects in the world. If parents have no time to study internet then also they can at least motivate their children to study such books and the reading experiences that many of the sites are giving is such that a student who does not like studding also starts doing so.

In spite of only education there is a lot of content related to children’s interest on the internet. If a child likes to play with clay and tries to make something out of it then there are lots and lots of videos and tutorials that parents can follow in order to create more talent out of the child. If a child has good dancing or singing skills then those can also be enhanced by the parents by motivating the children to do things related to their interest. Many children like story books, novels, creative writing, artistic creations, designing (textile, interior, etc.), etc. There is a lot of content related o all such things that if a child wants he can master all such things just sitting at home with internet. What needed is the vision of parents not considering internet as a bad thing and spoiling the moral values of the child, rather considering it as the new way to groom their children and making them multi talented on different platforms.
