Moral values have not changed...people have. What is right and wrong, acceptable or not is still the same, people just look at it differently now. If peopl would stop worrying about being soooo "politically correct" and start standing up for what they believe in again then maybe morals would mean something again.

The world has changed, but the parents don't understand that they have to start to educate their kids on certain subjects( sex, drugs, etc) from a very young age. We can't afford to wait until, they are 'old enough'. Because if they don't give the information, their kids will get the information in this 'open' world. And when parents give the information from a young age with warnings and reasons not to par take that behavior. Then their is a better change that you have thought them right and wrong before their hormones take over and alter their judgment. If you worn them, then they know what they know how to read the warning signs. When they are young you can easily teach them, what they can do and can't. The older the harder, especially when their teenagers. So if the morals are already instilled in them, then I think it is harder for them to stray.

Moral values changed, because times changed. Technology advanced, but our thinking was not as fast. So we didn't take the proper precautions in time. We reacted too late to all the changes that happened in the world.

moral values change with time because the world is changing and so are the concepts of people as their thoughts become more developed. for instance, people used to think that human sacrifice was okay because they were obeying gods will but now we know that human sacrifice is just totally inhumane and disgusting and primitive. also, people thought that an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth was completely just, yet now people don't think that mainly because if it was everyone would be punished for everything they did and that would be so inconvenient.
i'm hoping what i said makes sense :)

Because we become immune to violence through playing video games so much and watching it on TV and the news. What was morally correct twenty years ago, isn't now. Times change and so do people as a culture or society .

The devil is busier than ever executing plans of destruction. He has succeeded at getting people to question the very existence of God, now he has many of them where he wants them-doing his dirty work for him.
