जीवन, कार्य, अन्य व्यक्तियों एवं समाज के प्रति हमारी अभिवृत्तियाँ आमतौर पर अनजाने में परिवार एवं उस सामाजिक परिवेश के द्वारा रूपित हो जाती हैं, जिसमें हम बड़े होते हैं। अनजाने में प्राप्त इनमें से कुछ अभिवृत्तियाँ एवं मूल्य अक्सर आधुनिक लोकतांत्रिक एवं समतावादी समाज के नागरिकों के लिए अवांछनीय होते हैं। (a) आज के शिक्षित भारतीयों में विद्यमान ऐसे अवांछनीय मूल्यों की विवेचना कीजिए। (b) ऐसी अवांछनीय अभिवृत्तियों को कैसे बदला जा सकता है तथा लोक सेवाओं के लिए आवश्यक समझे जाने वाले सामाजिक-नैतिक मूल्यों को आकांक्षी तथा कार्यरत लोक सेवकों में किस प्रकार संवर्धित किया जा सकता है?
