Is the next generation deviating from moral values?

Answer 1

Morals are a social construct. Like every other generation, they're defining their own. Some morality is socialized and left alone, but more often than not, what was accepted as "moral" is questioned and redefined. If morals do not change, they stagnate and strangle a society.

Consider: It was once immoral for women to wear less than 10lbs of stifling clothing, regarless of weather conditions, because otherwise they might "tempt" men and bring ruin upon themselves. (Victim blame encouraged.)

It was once morally acceptable to own slaves.

Change isn't always bad.

Answer 2

Overall Good Moral standards have been out the window for decades. Is not the next generation the one that is deviating from them, when the older generations were it's main influenze.

Everyone has a different Moral standard, in other words, some have good or better values, and others just dont care even if they think they have good values. The problem with society is that everyone things they are right and they values are the better ones.. Society in general is weak and that is why our overall good Moral Values are no longer the same and completly gone with some people. Is important to make changes from one generation to the next, but not at the cost of morality.

If you or anyone has to ask them selves if something is good or bad truely knowing that is actually bad, but the person chooses to do bad anyways because they feel better doing it, then the problem as a society is that we don't care enough anymore..

Answer 3

I don't thunk our generation has that many "moral values" (although morals and values are relative) and that's the problem.

Answer 4

It depends on what moral values you're talking about: yours? mine? Joe's? our societies?

There a number of moral systems that may or may not intersect with each other...

Answer 5

No more so than the last did. And the one before it. Ad infinitum.

Answer 6
