Why now no longer valued such qualities as morality, modesty, honesty? Or am I mistaken?What do you think? I think that currently there was a revaluation of values. For example, the word "chastity" in general doesn't use. And why? Because this concept has no place in the modern world.Thanks a lot to all for the answers. Yes, of course, around a lot of good also, and personally in my immediate environment there are a lot of honest and decent people. But I'm talking in general about the decline of moral values in the world. Although may be I look at things too pessimistic..

Chastity can mean virginity or celibacy. I know what you are trying to say, this word is not fashionable nowadays but it does not mean that it doesn't apply to people. My teenage students tell me they hate it when adults assume that they are immoral. People still have moral values but it depends on who your friends are and who you choose to socialize with. As these sayings go; "people are often judged by the company they keep" and "don't judge a book by its cover".

I understood that in such question chastity isn't means like a virginity. I though that you ment honour :) sorry

AS Josep said, it's too relative. But, there are some common or universal values and human qualities that don't change, but for economic and pseudo-scientific needs they fight such values that stand in the way of economic interests. For example, you mentioned “chastity”. In Islamic countries it's sorta common, due to the religious and social traditions people tend to act this way and valuate chastity (by conviction or imitation). In the other hand, in some places, someone who’s 18 and still virgin is laughed on his/her chin. See?! But, in general moralities and good values are in decay, and the world is getting more and more materialistic.

They're around plenty. It is you that is gloomy and can't see properly. Just open your mind and you will see a different place.
