Perceived Morality among Undergraduate Students Belonging to Forward and Backward Caste

A dynamic reviewer of conservative morality has generally been viewed that moral judgments express individual desires or accepted habits. It is indeed that complete human beings participate fully in the life of society and express all of their nature. Some impulses must be checked in the interests of society and others in the interest of individual development, but it is a person's relatively unrestricted natural growth and self-realization that makes for the good life and harmonious society. Thus, the present research endeavor was aimed at studying morality among undergraduate students belonging to forward and backward classes with special reference to Mithila region of North Bihar. In this study one hundred sixty (N=160) undergraduates were selected randomly from different constituent colleges of L. N. Mithila University, India. Data were collected through questionnaire schedule. Having collected the data, individual scores were obtained as per norms of the test for giving statistical treatment. Obtained results revealed the clear cut picture regarding the significance of difference in terms of their perceived morality between the group of forward and backward undergraduates studying in different colleges of L. N. Mithila University as their tvalue had been found significant statistically at .01 level of confidence. Moreover, no significant difference between the group of male and female undergraduates has been found within the group of forward and backward classes especially in Mithila region, although forward group of male and female undergraduates had shown higher degree of perceived morality as compared to backward class group. The present trends of results have been discussed in detail by highlighting the probable reasons prevailing in Mithila region
