Even in today's world, there is a lot of importance of obeying the Principles.
Principles not only set the guidelines of how things work and how they are supposed to be, but they also set up an organised path on which everyone is assumed to work on. Take any place , any field of life- Principles are the Governing force . In a corporate identity , the principles set forward tell each and every employee how to work , behave and operate. Even the employer ( boss ) has to follow the same set of rules ( principles ) ( like the timeframes, schedules of work , laws of behaving in an office environment etc. ) sometimes, in order that his employers follow them as well. Its these principles which make the working place all the more systematic and well-organised.
Principles govern the conduct in an educational institute too. The students, the teachers have to obey particular rules and pre-set terms in order that the school remains a perfect place to get education from and not an entertainment club. All the students following a particular dress-code , keeping neat and tidy dresses, also keeping themselves clean all the time, not spoiling the school's complex with any dirty garbage, keeping a decent behaviour amongst themselves, not stealing or grabbing other's possessions, giving due respect to teachers , are among a few required rules to be followed by the students . Giving proper and adequate guidance to the students , possessing and providing indepth knowledge to the students on particular topics of their chosen subjects, maintaining discipline and silence during a particular period, co-ordinating with other teachers and the head of school are amongst the rules required to be followed by a teacher.
At a place other than the school , like home or a public place you need to maintain decorum and follow the rules . For example, at home too the parents shouldn't use foul language on the cellphone or in person infront of their kids or even otherwise, even if he or she is very angry. Beating up a spouse infront of the kid is the last thing expected here . It not only creates a wrong impression in the mind of the kid, but also makes him feel that Violence is permissible everywhere. Even kissing your spouse vehemently infront of the child, should be considered improper. A child , who hasn't attained puberty, may feel that sex is a thing of public-demonstration , which perhaps it is not.
Children should also think of what-to-do and what-not-to-do at places other than the school like your home or garden or other public place. At home, some children watch TV at high volumes, play games online on DVD in a group for long hours, keep shouting all the time without any due cause, keep bullying over their younger siblings now and then, don't obey their parents frequently, don't eat proper or healthy food, etc. These things are not as per rules and they need to be amended. In a particular place like a Garden or a Restaurant, they shouldn't damage chairs or benches, prick flowers from a plant without the permission, throw stones at animals like dogs or roosters moving around, make more noise-- so that they may be considered as not violating the Rules.
Abraham Lincoln once said ,"People will come and go but the Principles and Values will remain the same ." Principles and Values are here since Time immemorial. They govern the human society in such a way,that peace,prosperity and fraternity prevail at the same time and at the same place. Without them , the human society would no longer be called a Civilized society. Although, biologically humans are classified as animals, the basic difference between them and the other animals is these Principles and Values without which human society would resemble a group of primates moving around a forest area.
