In many countries, children show less respect to elders. What are the causes of such behaviour? What can be done to address this situation?

Most people understand the importance of moral values

such

as being polite and respectful towards the elderly, yet many young adults nowadays show disregard for

to that there is an immense influence of movies and smartphones, so it is not surprising that the younger generation often uses vulgar language and behaves in an inappropriate manner. From my perspective, three measures may help offspring keep the best behaviour possible.

To conclude, children are rude for various reasons, including a lack of parental supervision, and the effect of movies and shows. Encouraging them to be more polite and teaching them moral values from a young age can help them mould into decent human beings.
