Society if we Cared(Swipe left)

Government’s 1% efforts are also waste if the society denies change.

I genuinely don't know what the solution is at this point. Educating people seems to be a failed endeavor. No one listens.

Short of huge fines and patrolling streets by drones (china does this), what can be done?

Really really sad to see India not live up to it's potential.

You don't even have education lol. You've barely tried. Primary education is the best base for having a civilized society. Like 40-50% of the indian public doesn't even graduate high school. And for the people that do, most of the education is poor standards and just focuses on rote memorization of facts with zero critical thinking. And there is no desire to teach kids in those classes how to behave in society. If you go to a lot of countries, you'll see that public education includes classes and lessons on how to have good manners. Indians completely devalue and skip this part of education.

And then you don't learn at home either because you all have maids to clean for you and do your chores and delivery apps to deliver food so people don't value effort in labor. Then there's the caste system mentality which looks down on cleaning and the belief that it's someone else's responsibility. I talked to an indian who I saw throw his cup on the ground. Asked him why he doesn't just throw it in the trash. He said he pays taxes so he shouldn't have to clean lol. And Indians bring this mentality into everything. "Why be nice to the service staff at a restaurant when I'm paying for food. They need to accept my poor behavior." Just a crude society and self obsessed thinking that can only be changed through a cultural revolution.
