　　From the cartoon given above，we can observe that there are some people in a bus. When seeing that a disabled man is entering the bus, the old man near the seat just stands up instantly, and offers his seat to the handicapped one. And a little girl does the same to the grandpa as he did to the disabled. However, a young, healthy man shows no intention of giving seats to the old and the infirm man.
　　The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon of the gradual loss of social morality. Quite a few people today are selfish and egocentric. When putting self-interest in the first place, they tend to overlook others' benefits or feelings and become nonchalant. Moreover，this phenomenon can also be attributed to people's concern that their social morality，which can be best expressed through kindness，hospitality and warm-hearted behaviors，will sometimes invite unnecessary trouble.
　　However，no one can deny the importance of social morality. It is conducive to the harmony of society. People with the awareness of social morality are more likely to provide others with a helping hand，endeavor to abide by social orders and curb on their undesirable behaviors. Confronted with the inexorable decline in the emphasis of social ethics，the authorities should launch a large-scale educational campaign to create an atmosphere of respecting social ethics. Coinciding with this move，we ourselves should also enhance the consciousness of it.
