In my opinion, Indian youth is distracted all because of the foreign culture. They are attracted towards the things that are gained without any special effort. On any social site, we actually can predict very easily what's going on in our youth society. They say INDIA will be the youngest country in 2020. But what's the use? Do Indian youth is giving all it could? NO!is the answer. Our Youth is getting lazy day by day and some who work hard, study from the top institutes (IIT, IIM) and move abroad in search of better opportunities. What is the benefit of being a youngest country then?

Our youth especially teenagers are very much attracted towards nudity. Showing himself above others is becoming the most important goal of Indian teens. They feel its good to be bad, It's cool to study one night before the exam and just pass it, its royal to smoke and drink and its maturity to go against their parents. IT'S NOT!. I seriously don't know what is the solution for this but all I know is that this situation must change.

Causes:

- Excessive promotion of entertainment, fun and pleasure seeking activities through mass media as though these are the most important things in life and there is nothing else to do or think about.

- Excessive use of sex appeal in movies, music, advertisements, sports, in fact in everything that spews out of TV and internet.

- Increasing levels of vulgarity, violence and obscenity being shown in music videos that appeal to the youth. Sex, drugs and rock-n-roll, the three mantras for corrupting the youth being put into devastating use.

- Excessive and unhealthy promotion of individualism.

Effects:

- Vulgar and obscene tastes being developed in people that are reflected in the manners, words, clothing. The shockingly revealing and obscene apparel that spews out every year leaves little to the imagination. People are going to extremes to look attractive and make an impact on others. This twisted behavior is having tremendously negative effects in the minds of kids, the youth and also adults.

- A major portion of public time is spent in watching sports, movies, TV serials and endless chatter about non-existent issues. Seriously, is there nothing else in life worth doing?

- Permissiveness, infidelity and promiscuity in levels that was unthinkable a few years ago.

- People, in general, are more self-centered, less social, losing the ability to function in groups and hence more distant from each other. These days people prefer more to talk in social media than face to face. The human bonding is slowly dissipating.

Solution:

There is no one trick solution to all of this, except for the people to wake up and realize that they don't have to follow everything that spews out of the TV. It's a fake world driving the profits of a bunch of extremely cunning people who know very well what's going on in the real world. We people are the real thing and to live like human beings is what\'s important.

Values are those essential and precious gems and values which are degrading in the present form of society. One thing that everyone should know and believe that when we will give respect to other then only we will get respect.

However be the outcome of the modern generation's attitude and neglection towards the moral values, we still have some of the qualities passed on from the generations instilled in us, of course till some extent.

It's up to one's understanding of the society. If he only chooses to take in the bad stuff, then he needs a session with the psychology doctor.

If he chooses to take in the good stuff, then he is a robot.

The best way is to be both pessimistic and optimistic.

If you will create an atmosphere where life is just meant for eating drinking sleeping enjoying and being merry then you will never understand deep problems of life. Problem is just not moral values it is basic humanity. We have lost our human nature and turning into extremely selfish beings. It is not expected from us to be ideal or perfect being but at least human being. Today all goodness show anywhere has hypocrisy as its base. Solution is simple when we understand that highest duty for us is not to injure any creature in any form. All other duties come after it.

Aristotle said that, a good citizen makes the nation as good. Moral values will be useful to every citizen to be good always. Today, we have been seeing corruption from top to bottom of public and private sectors. Many professionals are leading to corruption. There is no fear among them because they think always about themselves, not about society. The profession is a significant activity of human being to provide proper service towards the society and nature. Moral values are taught to children from the beginning and at the level of family and society. People always be different, not common. But, we need to remember one thing, i.e, if we do good things then we get good results if we do bad things we get bad results. If you want to remove social evils among the people, now start to preach or teach good things, good values to your children.

Well, I also agree that moral value is getting abolished. Most of the people will blame teenagers for their mischief acts but for that, they are not only responsible but their parents are too. They are giving their child all possible facilities which are actually not necessary at this early are. Moreover, corruption is also increasing very fast. People are ready to do anything for then benefits. They even do not think what are they going to do and what will be its impact.

Moral value is very important to remove all those nonsense behavior of people towards each other. If even one percent of moral value can be raised in people, this is also beneficial for the sake of our nation as moral value is the anti-virus of corruption named virus which is spread all over the world.

I strongly believe it is the impact of America and the West, the aim of which is to make the rest of the world degenerate so that the West can continue to conquer and rule. I remember vividly an interview with Trump where he revealed that his children DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL because they "wouldn't be able to compete". So, nobody should be in any doubt - the White Western world leaders KNOW where strength lies. India and Indians should, therefore, wake up, REJECT Western ideas of behavior such as they are promoting through people like Priyanka Chopra who is used for really nasty sex scenes and then rolled onto TV chat shows to talk about how to be a role model for young girls. Indians must powerfully embrace their heritage and its powerful moral bases to become, once again, the greatest nation in the world.

Yes, I do agree with this statement. Today's generation is moving with the speed and they have forgotten the moral values and basic ethics.

Somehow I feel that parents are also equally to be blamed. With this corporate life where work is 24/7 and the parents do not have time for their children. Because of the ego problem within parents there are fights and verbal abuses by the parents in front of the kids. These kids pick it from them and same shows in their behavior.

So I feel the moral values and ethics start from base at home. Hence it is important to keep the environment at home clean and follow some ethic and moral values which when the kids see will follow.

And thus save our future generation.
