ETHICAL DILEMMA OF RIPHAH INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY

The failing of the system is due to lack of moral training of our students and for that matter,

ethical dilemmas like plagiarism, cheating, lewd attitude, are not hard to be conquered. Apart

from that, the pressing need to produce results in our system, regardless of respect for

knowledge, makes the students to achieve the ends, with a complete disregard for the means.

The test for knowledge and truly competent people is not the top priority in our campus, as most

of the people who pass the exams actually ‘stuff’ piles of books down their throats with virtually

no insight on issues of ‘real’ importance.

This practice is being carried out since the colonial times, and the state still calls for people who

could actually facilitate the status quo by being ‘just another brick in the wall’.

Yes it is true that education system plays a major role in the personality development of people,

but a system with all the above-mentioned problems is bound to create people with low moral

standards. For the same reason, on an increasing level, these people make up a larger system

which turns out to be incompetent as well, thus hardly producing people willing to deliver for the

society. In order for us to even start progressing, we need to lay serious focus on moral issues in

our campus and set knowledge as a benchmark rather than superficial success and glory.
