Young people these days tend to be less polite and respectful than in the past. What do you think are the reasons for that? What can be done to solve this issue?

Some of the teenagers of

this

generation are lacking some basic good

manners

and are being much arrogant and disrespectful with the

elders

in their family &

society

as well as with other people they interact. In

this

essay, I will delve into some of the reasons for

this

changed behaviour and will

also

suggest some ideas to solve

this

problem. To being with, with an increased sense of responsibility as well as due to cut-throat competition in the

society

most of the

parents

are being occupied with their professionals for longer hours and are spending less

time

with their

children

. Due to their busy schedules, they are making their

children

stay in day-care centres until they return from their offices. They hardly spend some

time

with their

children

.

Also

, in the little

time

, they spend with their

children

, they usually enquire about the things taught in school, help them with their homework . So, they hardly have

time

to monitor their

children

behaviour and teach them good

manners

.

Secondly

, the

children

of

this

decade mostly spend

time

playing or watching films on their electronic devices and are usually attracted to action movies and games.

This

has some impact on their brains and they usually turn arrogant.

Moreover

, spending more

time

indoors with gadgets make them less interactive with the other members of

society

and they hardly learn any good habits.

Parents

should make sure to spend some good

time

with

children

whenever they can and should keep a close eye on their behaviours. They should teach them the value of

elders

and the importance of being respectful to others. Unless they teach them, it is difficult for them to cultivate good

manners

. Special classes should be held in schools to teach youth all of these and mould them appropriately.

Secondly

,

parents

should impose some restrictions on their kids on the usage of mobile phones & tablets. They should keep a close watch on what programmes they watch and the influence those make on them. Certain

time

each day must be allocated to play with other friends, reading good books & interacting with other

elders

in the

society

. All these small changes help them to learn many useful things that are not usually learnt by reading their subject related books . It is very important for the

parents

& teachers to focus on teaching good

manners

to their students as they are future citizens. Spending adequate

time

with them and encouraging them to read good books & making them interact with other

elders

of the family and community will bring a noticeable change in the behaviours of the

children

and help them to become better individuals in the longer run.
