Individual greed and selfishness have been the basis of the modern society. Some people think that we much return to the older and more traditional of respect for the family and the local community in order to create a better world to live in. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Selfishness and greed have, nowadays, become the societal norm. Some suggest that restoring conventional values will render an improved lifestyle and positively impact our immediate community. I am inclined to agree with

this

assertion. For a start, a traditional practice is face-to-face communication.

For instance

, in rapidly developing cities, the lack of

form of communication is a contributing factor of poor behaviour, as millennials learn from those on social media, who may not possess the best traits either. By direct communication, parents can monitor the youngster’s actions and correct as necessary, whereas it is more difficult to track their online activity. If only the offspring can learn along the lines of their parent’s actions,

a majority of issues will be mitigated, and if not,

then

this

will be a worrying trend that looks set to continue.

Additionally

, the new generation is not equipped with the appropriate knowledge of morals.

This

derives from the reduced discipline in schools as well as the pupils exercising their rights. In stark contrast,

, teachers were allowed to dish out consequences to wrongdoers, including the greedy and selfish, in the past.

For example

, students, in turn, can differentiate between right and wrong morals. Admittedly, traditional methods,

such

as corporal punishment, may be overkill for those students;

, it is a concrete step to nurturing pupils to be a beneficial steward in the community. In conclusion, I strongly reaffirm my stance that traditional practices will restore the fresh generation. It is certainly hoped that these suggested measures will bring order and justice to those culprits, coupled with educating them with various life skills.
