Its a very difficult question you deserve a star.
Coming to the question.
I think " man is Carrying a sack full of morals since ancient times and that sack is leaking day by day"
You can not tell people to be less materialistic its the material world that we have created around ourselves and we indulge.
We have forgotten how to renounce, we so trapped and attached there is no way out.
People who realise it set out on an ascetic voyage beyond civilization.
I await my chance too................to go and live beyond the last blue Mountain!
I suggest till then Flow with the Flow don't change but change yourself, you need to be flexible, else you'll be punished by the world around for carrying this burdensome sack of morals, Like i was!
Cheers!

I heard this same complaint when I was a kid, and I am sure the same complaint was made about your generation. Get with it!!!! Do you know how old just saying that makes you sound????
AND let me tell you a little secret.....I live in a multi college town and the kids here are awesome. Morals? I can say they are much better than kids growing up in the 70's!!!!
Attitude -they are ambitious and curious about things I could not have cared a lick about back then!!! Schools are better (at the college level anyway) and dress code? Where ya been lady???? There are people griping on "Leave it to Beaver" about the dress code!!! When was that? Come on!!!! Get out of the house and work with some younger folks!!! YOU ARE DATING YOURSELF!!!! Don't make a comment about ANYONE based on what you see on TV!!!! Go to church -see what your your youth groups are doing. Are you aware of all the volunteer groups in your area that are staffed by younger people? Now get yourself up and about -you should be ashamed!!! Especially after what they used to say about YOU when you were in High School!!!!! (not to mention flunking English class!) "Morals ...ARE decaying" not ,"Morals...IS decaying" -ahh well forget it. Your whole sentence/post is written in poor English. Let he without sin.....

I don't think that there is moral decay, well no more than there ever has been. I believe that moral standards are changing, but that's a natural process that has it's purposes within society.
As for young people's attitude and dress code being something that adults dislike, that's also okay. Preteens and teens develop their own culture of sorts in order to separate themselves from their parents and find an identity within and among themselves. Of course parents don't like this! Many parents have children simply as an extension of themselves and when that inevitably fails, what's left? "Those darn kids have no respect."
What I would encourage is deeper thought on the issue as opposed to an overall negativity. What purpose do this new 'decayed' moral standard serve? Why do you think it has occured? How is it positive and how is it negative? Why do you think the change has occured?

I think it is very very much down to the parents. But then again, all these judgements are simply a point of view. To the younger generation there is nothing wrong with what there doing, they are not simply doing it to be rebels, to us its acceptable and the norm. But there does still have to be a balance. I’m 21 and ill dress and do what most young people do these days. But at the same time, I won’t talk down to my elders and I will still walk a girl to her door if I drop her off. Don’t try and stop the change. Simply enforce a little manners with it.

Morals are decaying? I think our generation is getting more and more tolerant...do you know ANYTHING about US history? We have abolished slavery (I would consider that one the most immoral times...not now). The Civil Rights movement, was that also moral decay, or women's right to vote. Not too long ago (about the 1950s, I think) a man could decide that his wife was mentally ill and have her committed to a mental institution, and there was NOTHING she could do about it. Ahh... the good ol' days, when women dressed conservatively and black and white children weren't allowed to attend the same schools...

I don't know your age, but when Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Tammy Terrell, David Ruffin, Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack; all these tenured musicians had to go to "Finishing School". This type of education taught the entertainer class, etiquette and manners. Producers like Clive Davis and Quincy Jones insisted on such training. For the simple reason when you are a musician, you are the Brand. To bring you a more notable example. The late Luther Vandross took this step. It was necessary for back up singers to polish up their appearance and skills. Luther sung back up to Roberta Flack for many years, she coaxed him into "getting out front." We owe a debt of gratitude to Mrs. Flack. His musical selections, musical genre and appearances all blended into the "Luther" ethos.
To answer your question, the same schooling that gave us these gifted and polished entertainers, whose music endures many generations, they have all been a student of "Finishing Schools."
Last thought, Nat King Cole, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Stylistics, The Temptations, The O'Jays..if you look at their stage presence and their dress, you will notice a uniformity along these lines. Young people imitate art. This would be a step in the right direction.
Thank you for your attention on this matter. lol.

It is the loss of morals and raising. Seems the less and scantier the better. It is disgusting to see young people with such little respect. That goes to show the world is decaying as the Bible tells us things will become really bad before the end. These people are selfish and searching for attention.
If they think it is attractive, they are wrong. It looks cheap.

you first have to convince an entire society that it even needs improving. i don't see morals decaying. i see freer, more well-rounded difference in opinions and lifestyles. i see more open-mindedness.
a lack of moral is something that has always is existed. maybe theres just more people in the world.
lets focus on the good.

Move out of society, find a farm and free yourself from all commercial, capital and municpal needs. Maybe be Amish but even they are subject to US capital markets.
Ok i got one..Live in a cave can build a wheel like invention out of stone and evolve your own new generation and start the process of evolution all over again..

Be yourself, if you want to dress like a slut do it, there are probably more people that approve than don't. I personally enjoy looking at young women with everything hanging out in public. I think women should dress in transparent cellophane, but that's just my opinion on the subject. Morals are for the religious, principal is what the rest of us go by! I have no morals, just principals, and I like it just fine.
