The Gradual Loss of Social Morality
(1) From the cartoon given above, we can observe that when seeing that an elder man is getting on the bus that is crowded, the old man beside the seat just stands up instantly, saying" please have a seat here", (2) which form a distinct comparison with the behavior of all of the others around who are young and healthy but (3) show no intention of giving seats to the old and infirm man.
(4) The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon of the gradual loss of social morality. (5) For one thing, there're quite a few people becoming selfish and egocentric. When putting self-interest in the first place, they tend to overlook others' benefit or feelings and become nonchalant. Moreover, this phenomenon can also (6) be attributed to people's concern that their social morality will sometimes result in unneces-sary trouble.
However, (7) no one can deny the importance of social morality. People equipped with the awareness of social morality are more likely to provide others with a helping hand, (8) which is conducive to the harmony of society. We should adopt some measures to reverse the current situation.
