As children, my generation, and generations before us were taught moral and social values and the rewards of discipline at home, at school and in the church. This is no longer available to many of our young people. Many of the institutions that help form us are still around, but many young people have little interest in them. Many of them view morality as weakness and discipline as something to be avoided. The church is no longer as strong in the community as it once was, and even if they had the capability public schools are prevented from teaching morality.
Social values are an issue that neither schools or many churches want to touch.
Many young people today are growing up without a sense of moral or social values. In Florida we see it every day. Children who kill, rape and steal and show no remorse beyond than of being caught. In the past we could write these off to the occasional sociopath. Now it is becoming the norm rather than the exception.
