The highest literacy rate and education level changed the Kerala society in a greater way that they prefer to live in western standards . Keralites are open towards social and technological developments ; they have a mixed life with traditional values and advanced life style.The intercaste marriages are comparatively easier in Kerala than the other parts of the country.Keralites care very much about their personal hygine and health but care less about public cleanliness.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or society:

    My idea is that the world outside—the so-called modern world—can only pervert and degrade the conceptions of the primitive instinct of art and feeling, and that our only chance is to accept the limited number of survivors—the one- in-a-thousand of born artists and poets—and to intensify the energy of feeling within that radiant centre.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.
    Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
