Explanation / Answer

As per my view, ethics can be taught to everyone of any age group. If, it will be taught to students then it will be long lasting for them as for the social betterment. To install a sense of ethical behaviour in the students started from pre-nursery, high school, degree courses students, research schools etc. courses as well as practical implementation and a close look up must be installed. If, parents will be careful and motivated by school administration to guide the conduct of their children. Ethical aspects like what is right or wrong must be taught to children so that they can take inbuilt them with honesty, truth, respect to elders, supportive nature, dedicated work attitude etc.

Moral subjects like motivational stories, social reformers biography, some great quotes of the humanity etc. must be delivered to the students so that they frame their behaviour in right direction. Social integration and community work must be practically taught to the students like clean environment.
