Bharat. J. K, G. S. Venumadhava

Abstract :

India is culturally richest country in the world. It is the country which lived on the basis of Vedas and epics, where elders were given the place of god. There were days when there was lot of respect given to the words like Mathru Devo Bhava (Mother is God) Pithru Devo Bhava (Father is God). As the time have the ability to ing change in the society so as in present scenario the same time has been changing moral values in people, changing societal value resulting in erupting stress and frustration in people. Moreover Globalisation, Privatisation, and Urbanisation have been impacted on the social norms and have been caused social disorganisation. People are turning into Workaholics, and they cannot dedicate their time for elders and as the views and attitude and thinking changes from generations to generations, wave length of thinking also varies a lot. In the computer era where people think money is most important than family, individuals ignoring own Parents, in search of money and social status people are lacking in human bond and humanity. As the nuclear families are increasing in the society, most of the times values and views are not matched between the family members and elders. These factors are leading towards elder abuse and neglect. This paper is concerned about causes for such difference in society and suggestions for prevention of elderly abuse.
