In today's century, morals and values are no longer significant among our youths.
This
 has led to more crimes , untrustworthiness and egoism. Some group thinks that the only way to make the world a conducive place to live including the family is by retrieving our ancient values and respect. I totally agree with
this
 aforementioned statement .
Firstly
, in today's era, most youths find it difficult to accept corrections from their elderly when they do something wrong or go astray, they act as if they know it all,
hence
, making self-decision without their elders' opinion.
Secondly
, In ancient times, the mode of dressing is pivotal within the society ,unlike
this
 recent year where youth dressed in an uncultured manner which could lead to rape and assault. Again, youths nowadays find it difficult to work hard and make a legit income rather they venture into committing all kinds of unimaginable acts
such
 as ritualism, yahoo- Yahoo , and stealing to mention but a few.
This
 has led to an increasing crime rate within

society. A whole lot of immorality and lack of respect is being exhibited in
this
 recent times.
for example
, an underaged child will leave her parent's home to stay with her boyfriend as a couple whereas it was never the ideal thing in the older century.
Furthermore
, envy , greed and selfishness have grown more in
this
 present generation ,where a friend would kill their fellow colleague for material things. In conclusion, the act of greed , selfishness and materialism has changed youth's self-respect toward their families and the community. I believe that if we retrieve our traditional values and morals the world would be a better place for family and the community to reside in.
therefore
, reducing the crime rate and disrespect.
