UNETHICAL PRACTICES IN OUR CONTEMPORARY EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM: A PHILOSOPHICAL APPRAISAL OF THE NIGERIAN SITUATION.

Abstract

The reordering of value system in our society is a search for national culture that would reshape national character and image. The study revealed that our nation Nigeria is bereft of moral values and is taken over by social vices and above it all is the love of materialism and individualism. The writer avows that despite all these vices, there is still hope for a better Nigeria if our scholars and political leaders are charged to use their positions to encourage the reordering of values and to discourage acts that will occasion violence, misunderstanding and war through the provision of sound moral values by value laden instructors. The research found that reordering of values system would promote national image, respect for human life and corporate value
