True values must originate from the source of someone of great values. And the only person that has that potential is, the Creator of all things. The Bible, which is the way that God has chosen to comunicate with mankind has this to say in 2 Timothy 3: 16, in the New Testament.
" All Scrirture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness."
History shows that the collapse of all societies is due to their lack of values and the mistreatment of their people, and that is exactly what is happening to our society today. Read 2 Timothy 3: 1-5.
Mankind's choice to no longer live according to the creator of all things started from the beginning. According to the first Book of the Bible, Genesis chapter 3, which is mankind's history, shows how things went form bad to worse when our progenitors Adam and Eve rejected God's requirements filled with the values for our happiness, confirmed in Psalms 1: 1,2 in the Old Testament in these words. " Happy is the man/woman who does not walk according to the advice of the wicked and does not stand on the path of sinners etc.. But his/her delight is in the law of Jehovah God, and he/she reads His law ( God's law ) in an undertone ( meditates ) day and night
By reading the Bible daily, he/she will get to know Jehovah God's way of thinking, which will help him/her to think clearly and reason well. Read Proverbs 1: 3,4 which shows that to have good judgement, true values give insight and help our thinking ability.
The prophet Jeremiah, in the Old Testament in chapter 10: 23 came to the following conclusion. "It does not belong to man/woman who is walking even to direct his step". Which we can all easily agree to.
The survival of our world will be done according to God's conditions, which is His Kingdom (government) God's kingdom will undo all harm that millenniums of human rule have done.It will provide perfect health, peace and security, meaningful work, and a clean environment, which has always been God's purpose, right from the beginning of mankind, when Adam and Eve were required to do things God's way. Read Genesis 2: 17.
Genesis 3: 3 shows that the serpent promised Eve that she will be like God. Well ! That did not happen. Did it?
Revelation 12: 9 reveals who the serpent was, in these words. " The original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth.
1 John 5: 19 reminds us that the whole world is lying in the power of of the wicked one, indentified in Revelations 12: 9 as Satan tha Devil.
1 John 5: 20 shows that we are not left without help because Jesus who is the Son of God came on earth to give us insight so the we may gain the knowledge of the one who is true. And that we are in union with the one who is true, by means of his Son Jesus Christ. Which is where our true values will come from. and has the promise of everlasting life. The life that was offered to Adam and Eve, confirmed in Genesis 2: 17 in these words.
"But as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for the day you eat from it you will certainly die." That command would have made no sense if Adam was meant to grow old and die anyway. Adam knew that if he did not eat from the tree, he would not die. Adam rejected God's values, by not taking into consideration God's requirement which was lifesaving. He did not recognize God's right to direct his life.
So to answer your question, which is if our society could survive without true values. All you have to do is watch the News, humans' behaviour and draw you own conclusions. 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 mentioned above reads. " people will be lovers of themselves,lovers of money, unthankful, disloyal, without love of goodness. This scripture describes these aspects as the critical times that we are living today, and qualifies it as the last days of a system that is to disappear with God's kingdom. According to Matthew 6: 9,10 God's will, will be done as in heaven also on earth.
What does that mean ? Psalms 37: 29 has the answer, which is . " The righteous will possess the earth and live forever on it. God's purpose has not changed." It is important that each and everyone learn about God's government, which is available by speaking to any Jehovah's witness.
Kind regards
The values of what? You mean things like honesty, hospitality, punctuality, patience, fairness, etc? Because you get huge advantages from living in a society, and society can't work without values.
The functional prerequisites that a society must satisfy if it is to survive include the following:AdaptionGoal AttainmentIntegrationPattern Maintenance
American social, economic and political values are the driving force in US society. With that said, it can be fair to say that American values and society's values are interchangeable.
The core values of societies are 1) Society's functioning 2) Cognitive values 3) Cultural values
They're not. Our society's values in terms of freedom are increasing, not decreasing.
No, it is not possible for society to exist without culture. Culture shapes the beliefs, values, norms, and behaviors of a society, providing a framework for social interactions and identity. Without culture, there would be no shared understanding or cohesion among individuals, leading to a breakdown of social order and organization.
Society for Values in Higher Education was created in 1922.
Without moral values in society there would be far higher level of chaos than we presently know. It is moral values that are still to some extent helping to keep the balance and some level of sanity in the world.
Values
Religions are not necessary. You should see no obstacles prevent you in your path of life. If anything hinders the thoughts of justice, love and humanity then such things (even if it's a religion) may be rooted out completely from the world. A religion's motive must be developing the friendship, love and moral among people not the partiality and sectional feelings. A religion should not act like a political party. The leaders of the religions are also human beings. They did not come from God. They read the religious books and preach. You can do this yourself. You need not join in a group and shrink yourself and get yourself separated from the outer world. One can study in any school or college to acquire the knowledge he/she needs for his/her better future. In the same way one can read any religious matters to acquire moral knowledge for a better life. Joining in something, behaving like political party members will cause only head-ache and unnecessary tensions.
Shared values are beneficial to society because if a society does not share any values, people will compete to demonstrate that they're values are better than other peoples values .This will then cause society to be destroyed , because of the lack of shred values people will then hate each other and society will then become like the rivalry between Catholics and protestants in 1500s.This rivalry won't be caused because of lack of love but lack of understanding and respect for one another's values.
It does not reflect the creator's ideas about the values of the society in which the epic is written or created only the values of the society in which the epic is set.
