Is idealism dead?

The world today seems to be indifferent to ideals and has respect only for the practical man.The corporate bosses,the politicians and Rambo like figures are the present day role models.The poet,artist,philosopher or teacher have no status in society.He has to run from pillar to post to survive.
In the present age,when power and utility are the Godheads of humanity does truth have a chance?There is a growing disillusionment within society as a result of increasing joblessness,income disparities,divorces,juvenile delinquency,increasing crime,terrorism and gender violence but people are hesitant to challenge the status quo and are living lives of quite desperation.
An age which is devoid of ideals,such as the present times,can only produce inconsequential results.The need of the hour is for forward seeing minds to unite and force the world to change.They must be able to see through the facade and go straight to the ideals which have been present from times immemorial.
