values
 for the family and the local community to create a better world. Without question

values
 are mere remains a word today.
Additionally
, for most folk, it is fine to sabotage someone for money or any other possession and not burdensome for doing unethical, merely for some riches.
For instance
, consider a thief or a gangster, out of greed, they rob and kill anyone without thinking about their personal lives, and is convenient for them.
On the contrary
, it is seen in the professional industry too, some employees don't think twice to let another employee down in front of the manager, to get the promotion. Certainly, to get to a better place to live, we ought to bring back the old
values
 from the past times. It is very true, that, a few decades ago, the family and community, society lived in mattered the most. In previous times, the
values

this
 planet worth living on.
