Behavioral patterns have declined generally, and it is worst among many young people in all levels, while this problem is attributed to the families where they come from, a lot more people blame this trend on the teachers and institutes of learning. This essay aims at reviewing the both parties as contributing factors, although it is most associated with the homes that breeds them.
First and foremost, the home plays a major role to the character molding among the already mentioned sets of individuals. That saying that charity begins at home clearly demonstrates this fact. For instance, a child's overall personality comes from the practical examples the observe from home which moulds his or her total perception in regards to what is right or wrong. Additionally, a child references his or her father and mother more than a mere teacher whose disciplinary measure may be limited by the law and policy of the the school. If this is so, the family stands a better chance to instill discipline better than any external body. These points presented prove that families are at better advantage, and the failure in the moral standards beckons on the people more related to the people concerned.
On the other hand, the place of learning ought not to be left out. This is because checks on the lapses of these derailing children is supposed to be corrected as a correctional institution. To exemplify, morale instructions are part of the school's curriculum which is supposed to double check the doings of their pupils to reshapen their behaviors. Again, life virtues such as love, obedience, respect and manners are part of the academic subjects. To trace back, during my social studies class in my elementary education, I was taught the duties of children to the family and society. When those facts were taught, it sunk deep and had remained a core system.
To sum up, even though the both institutions play a major role, the family has a larger share of the blame. Nonetheless, all hands should be on deck to raise a better generation.

The bar graph demonstrates the recycling trends of four different materials—plastic, cans, paper and glass— every five years from 1992 to 2002. Households were more conscious of recycling all four materials, supported by the higher ratio of households recycling each category at the end of the decade comparing with the beginning data. The most noticeable change was demonstrated by the glass, whose ratio almost doubled every five years, from under 15% in 1992 to 49% in 2002. Tripled percentage of household started recycling paper in 2002 compared with the data in 1992, that were 29% versus 13% respectively. When it comes to cans, it can be found that people were less aware of recycling cans in the first half-decade of the period, and the graph shows a 3% drop in households recycling such material. However, a sheer increase was detected in the next five years; the ratio doubled compared to the first half-decade. Instead of showing a decreasing percentage of household recycling plastic, a 3% increase can be concluded from 1992 to 1997. Intriguingly, there was no change in the data happened in the last half-decade. Overall, glass ended up with the most recycled material in the end, and households awareness of recycling plastic has the largest room for improvement.
