What are the reasons and causes for moral decline in society?

Alcohol/drug abuse adictions increasing

divorce/extra martial affairs increasing

Gambling out of control

Soaring crime rates: Various types frauds/thefts ect

General distrust of one man against another. Youngsters not respecting elders. Kids behaving badly.

young women dressing half naked. Hanging outside clubs in the early hours drunk with no care for themselves. Complete loss of self respect. Having sexual relations before marriage. (please note this goes for males to) Not just women) before we get women complaing that why cant they act like a sl@pper if a man can ?

In addition. People have becime so materialistic. All they care about is wealth, cars and status. 

Instead if helping the poor, doing charitable work. There is no sence of community. We have lost good old community spirit. Instead we isolate ourselves and have lost love and compassion for one another.

In terms of western society? The issues you've described are symptoms of peace time. Broadly speaking, there's nothing going on to focus people's minds. So-called prosperity has driven the public to a form of mental malaise; almost a type of insanity whereby most norms are inverted to the point where people don't know what's right and what's wrong.

Our role models are singers, celebrities and successful sinners, not Guru Ji or other pious Sikhs.

All those are wrong, but why does it matter when it comes to dressing?? Dressing how youd like does not have a relationship with their avastha.. Ive seen sants who wore full cholas, and some sants who were fully naked. Making people dress in a certain way is no different than 'hijab' method scare tactic.. 

Okay lets forget about dressing if you think thats a big no no and concentrate on the other points. 

But just out of interest you think its perfectly fine for young women to have their b00bs hanging out wearing skimpy and overly sexualised clothing and garmets at 3.00 am in the morning in a club full of drunk men, all because you have seen some naked and holy sants?  Then Preet I say you are indeed a remarkable soul and may you receive more akal in your life. May your brain and intellect grow to the right size. 

No one is advocating wearing Hijabs and Burkas.

Alot of it has to do with breakdown of the family, culture, religion, and villages. People who live in extended families and who have their traditional culture and follow religion and who live in a homogenous small community where everyone knows everybody, those places have less crime, violence. As cities increase, multiculturalism increases, strangers are neighbors, crimes go up. Also as more ppl become educated and get jobs, stress goes up and ppl become selfish, so suicide, mistrust, competition. Now that youngsters dont have anything meaningful to do they do drugs, clubbing etc

It can be western or eastern. ie India. No people/ communites/race are imune from these things that happen in our society. We are all products of society ajd the effects of mass media, tv, music ect.

That is essentially their choice.. Im okay with them dressing like that but being drunk/eating meat is what leads to bad decisions. 

Your okay for girls to dress like that and hang around with groups of randy men in night clubs late at night aslong as no meat and alcohol is involved?  What about the x rated music lyrics that promote sexual behaviour and lust?. 

Does Sikhi not say we should dress modestly and resoectfully. Or is it okay to dress half naked?

The cause of moral decline is not having a strong role model. For us our role models are our Gurus, Mahapurukhs, Shaheeds, and more great Sikhs, when we stop idealizing and try to follow their message we can progress. The reason for the decline in Western society is because they have moved away from their great men that inspired them, (to a much lesser extent that our Gurus), being Jesus, as well as the ideals that originally encompassed that. Muhammad was not a role model at all, but he was successful in brainwashing a whole bunch of middle-eastern folk into thinking he was a role model so they try to follow him.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
