Answer 1

such a long QUESTION so no ANSWER

Answer 2

As a democratic society we do not need moral policing. In case there is problem to others, or the socity, it can be sorted out democratically through the judicial system. Also it is immoral to tax the tax payer for payments to the moral policing officials.

Answer 3

First you could actually desire to stipulate what a "Public Servant" is. All government worker's are Public Servants. Their interest is to grant a service which we could desire to function as a society, each and each is particularly good and maximum are experienced too paintings with different departments in situations of want. Federal secret agent companies are excluded from this requirement. So, i'm going to ask; on an identical time as the Police, law enforcement officers, warmth, despite, do a Noble interest and we expect them to be held too a more suitable usual, do we inventory them further admire for this the Aristocracy? And on an identical time as we would be vulnerable at situations to % to many times do basically that. There are those undesirable Apples in each and every barrel that demands US to take it as a Apple by Apple case. subsequently annoying that we provide them not greater credibility then we do ourselves.

Answer 4

We do not need any extra legal "moral policing". Off late there are too many instances of political party backed "activists" indulging in violent protests against schools, teachers, cyber cafes, examination centres, blackening peoples faces etc. It is surprising that the police stand by as silent spectators permitting the mayhem, and at times even aiding the protesters. More than the actual culprits, stringent penalties ought to be levied on the police who are obliged to maintain law and order, yet blatantly fail to do so.

Answer 5

We are not only a democratic society but also gradually becoming too much democratic in obeying or disobeying laws of the land we live in. In other words we are misusing the freedom granted to us by democracy. We are also becoming immoral on many an occassions which the laws of the land do'nt permit and it is then that moral policing becomes imperative which otherwise would not have been neccessary.

Answer 6

That depends on what you mean by "moral policing". In a sense, all policing is moral policing: it's enforcing the rules society has decided are in it's best interest.

If by moral policing, you mean have authorities tell you what to think, believe and feel; no. Although repugnant, merely thinking of crimes, etc is not a crime. There must be commission.

Answer 7

Unfortunately we need moral policing! Through the legislative processes, we Police ourselves and participate in the Legislative and judicial process, write and protest unfair legislation that do not benefit Americans in general. Reasons? Persons with sociopath tendencies have No Moral baring! Pedophiles think they have the right to molest children

Answer 8

The government in a democratic society is ' govt. of the people, by the people and for the people'.In other words, a king does not rule over them.They periodically elect their govt.
That govt. ensures that laws are made in its 'legislature',and implemented by administrators in diverse departments,('executive 'powers),and law and order maintained by the police force and miscarriage of justice prevented by the 'judiciary.'The press acts as the eyes and ears of the public.
Where, then, is the need for a special moral police?Morals of the public are also valuables as assets of the public.The police could do moral policing also far better than any other.
To protect our faith, our assets, and our morals. let us look to the Govt,and not to any other body. Further,let us be vigilant enough to ensure that no political party claims to serve our religious aspirations and protect our religious interests.
The fanatic leaders, to gain political mileage, raise big storms and play upon the emotions of the ordinary people to their highest pitch. but once their purpose is even
partly served , they coolly place the issue on back burner!
"Ajab toofan hai, toofane muhabbath,
Mujhe bedaar kar so rahaa hai!"
(Strange is the storm of love,
It awakens me, but goes to sleep!)

Answer 9

Stop them! As if as we have seen neither party can morally police their own selves. Nothing but a ruse to gain more information on the citizens this country seems to be regarding as "Enemies of the State" lately then any sort of government at the service of the people.
This is truly now a "Government of the Corporation for the Corporation..........Mary

Answer 10

This is one of the basic questions we must ask ourselves. This qualitatively expresses one's desire to bring in changes in the system, albeit, political. Morality has always been the easiest gateway for those who has no realistic, practical answer to a question the society is plagued by. When logic fails, it is easier to take refuge in sermonizing. Moral policing exhibits the emptiness, the hollowness of one's political perspective. As a democratic Society we definitely do not need moral policing. But, very few stand up against this kind of atrocity perpetrated by, generally, group(s) with an ulterior political motive. I view democracy as we practise in India to be hypocritical and would at the very first opportunity shun it. Remember, hypocrites, political thugs champion the immoral art of moral policing to terrorize the common man. We must fight the curse; but for that we must come forward to overhaul the political system of number game. For that we have to recognize that physical violence must be shunned and in its place, intellectual violence be resorted to. If fee interested may contact me directly. Let us do our bit to root out the evils in our political system.

Answer 11

Generally we make mistakes and when realise it, we create a system to avoid mistakes. At a span of 10-20 years the system becomes so complicated that no one follows it.

Moral policing is also like that. You start at home, then school, college, office, street, news, tv and practically everything undergoes policing. In real practice no one follows it. People do whatever they wanted to do. Immoral activities happen everywhere, no one is serious about it.
