The civilization of cities is rootless. The people there have no tradition, because it is a mass of people from different sections and groups without any unifying culture or ideas. Money is the God of the modern people.
The barter system has been replaced by the currency system. We evaluate everything in terms of money. People highlight the culture, moral decay of cities, on account of the commercialisation of life where everything is for sale. Even in the matter of love there is a question of profit and loss. In ancient time, the source of inspiration and achievement was faith. People really believed in religious values. Elderly people were respected. Character and saintliness were regarded as an important asset. In older times, people believed in intimate human relationship.
There were certain loyalties to the community and loyalty to the nation. To day the values have changed. Older people have no place in society. Obviously, there is the fashion of nuclear family in everywhere. Such loyalties no longer exist. People have become self-centred and egoistic. There is no sentiment of sympathy and compassion for the members of distant families and the community. Each one thinks only of his own interest and how he can gain at the expense of others. So, the re-birth of civilisation is possible again through religious faith.
