Discipline is an important virtue. Life without discipline is just like a ship without a rudder. It is necessary for expressing other virtues. It is absolutely essential for success in life. Discipline refers to orderliness in life which results from our adherence to certain code of conduct prepared by the learned people. It also implies our respect to physical and moral laws in our society.

Without discipline, it is very difficult to lead a happy life in society. There will be indiscipline and chaos if we try to live in our own way. Both, individual and society will be in jeopardy.

We observe discipline in nature. The earth and the moon revolve around the sun in a disciplined way. As a result, night and day recur after twelve hours. We experience the cycle of seasons on the earth. Our physical existence is possible only due to a great discipline in the external nature. We grow when all the limbs and the respective capacity of different organs of our body grow in a disciplined way.

Discipline can be applied in all walks of life. It is essential for us at home, for students in school and college, for players in play ground, for soldiers in battlefield. A factory with a team of disciplined workers and engineers will run smoothly and yield profit.

Discipline plays an important role in building a nation. It has good impact on the child's mind too. He passes through discipline since his childhood, becomes a civilized citizen in future. He leads a decent life.

A team of experienced players often lose the match because of indiscipline in the team. A horrible battle can be won by a disciplined army.

Discipline is very important in a student's life. He must obey his teachers. He must abide by the rules in school. If he violates them, he suffers a great deal in his future. A disciplined student can achieve success. Similarly, a teacher without discipline in his life cannot be an ideal teacher.

Self-discipline is very important. Spiritual persons practice it to attain the liberty of soul. Self-discipline lies in restraining our unruly desires and ugly  impulses.

There are many causes of indiscipline. Here are a few:

§  Favoritism:
Indiscipline may be caused by teachers who  favor some students in their teaching and classroom management.  The other students may see this as a sign that everything is allowed in spite of the rules. Other students may also see this favoritism as an offense against them which leads to rebellion.

§  The rules are not enforced
When a student is not punished for an offense , s/he goes on to commit more offense.

§  Lack of Communication:
The rules are not clearly communicated

§  Teacher-student relationship
The teacher and students relationship is essential for any learning process. If there is a breakdown in this relationship, indiscipline emerges.

§  Lack of leadership:
When the teacher doesn’t fulfil his role as a leader, there will certainly be  students or students who will be glad to take this role. Thus indiscipline appears.

§  Lack of motivation:
When students are not motivated, they tend to work in an indisciplined manner.

§  Bad habit:
Some students may have acquired bad habits  from previous teaching experiences. Once a student, for instance ,  has formed the habit of coming to school late, it will be hard for him or her to change this behavior.
