Abstract

This academic article explains the socio-moral decline of those from whom society most expects moral and ethical standards; they are teachers, monks, doctors and fathers. They all misbehave and even violate morality today, as seen in the recent media. Thai society today is facing many social problems due to technological and scientific advancement, especially the loss of moral responsibility to society. They have not felt moral shame but have willfully violated the law and legitimacy such as rape, robbery, murder, abuse and accusation of innocent people by the common people, government officials and senior executives. Intentional violence against the law through people's physical, verbal and mental misconduct is rapidly increasing because Thai society has now accepted what is good or bad depending on how satisfied the individual is. People can do whatever they want without taking responsibility, especially in terms of social and moral reactions. Different people who are different in their roles. The researcher raised objectives to lucidly elaborate sources of implanting moral and ethics in the Thai societies. Teachers, fathers, doctors, monks—all four types of people are people who help society lead a happy life. They rely on good moral and ethical principles that appear and also consider that all four types of people have morals, ethics, ideals, and attitudes. Being a good role model for society pay good social price. Therefore, it is the norm that leads to the progress of society. However, all four people are still people called normal people who still have passions that make them neglect good morals and ethics.
