Sir,
What are ethics? Ethics is the branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct.
When it comes to children, it becomes really important to make them aware of the moral duties and enhance them with ethical knowledge. Children’s literature plays a very important role here. They need a proper guide to move on in their lives in order to become a good human being. John Locke, an English philosophy in his theory of “tabula rasa” refers to an epistemological idea that individuals are born without built in mental content, a child’s brain is like a black slate with one important difference: whatever is written on the impressionable mind becomes indelible and cannot be easily erased and more often it lasts forever as adults we have not forgotten the stories read at younger age. Books really have a great impact on the child’s psyche, it becomes really important to see what a child’s brain is receiving and what are the effects of it on his/her overall behaviour. Technology these days is conquering over the thousands of young minds, at this particular time, it becomes really important to make them aware of their moral duties and their religion, and not only about their particular religion but in fact about all the other religions so that they can move forward to become a great human being, “character building” should be the goal of every educational institute as well as parents ethical knowledge should be transmitted through the native language.
Yours etc….
