Morals are about teachings good and bad that are generally accepting and assisting with ethics, which is the science that Studies moral principles. The moral and ethical awareness of the young generation of Indonesia is declining, this causes adverse effects for the Future of the nation. According to me, this problem can be a factor of lack of parental guidance, negative Influence Of social media, and the lack of emphasis on character education in Schools. I agree with the issue "Lack Of Moral And Ethical Awareness Among Teenagers" because uneducation environment ethics, technologies, and entry of Foreign culture.
Firstly an uneducation enviroment ethnic. The family environment is the first and main place for a teenager to learn about morals and ethics. However, in this modern era, many parents are too busy with work so that they pay less attention to the moral development of their children. This makes teenagers look for role model from the surrounding environment, especially peers. If they hang out with friends who have negative behavior, such as lying or committing reprehensible acts, then it is very likely that they will imitate this behavior. In addition, in some cases, families who do not provide good examples can also cause a weak moral awareness in teenagers, for example parents who often fight in front of their children.
Second a technologies. Social media often has a negative influence on the moral and ethical development of teenagers. One of the negative impacts of social media is the proliferation of uneducated content such as hate speech, hoaxes and dangerous challenges. In addition, many teenagers are willing to do unethical acts such as lying about their lives or following trends that are contrary to moral values just to get more "followers" and "likes". As a result, they are more concerned with their image in cyberspace than building good character in the real world.
Third an entry of foreign culture. The entry of foreign culture, especially through social media, greatly influences the lifestyle of Indonesian teenagers, including the way they dress. Many teenagers imitate western clothing styles that are revealing and less in accordance with Indonesian cultural norms of politeness. This reflects a lack of moral and ethical awareness where local values are starting to be ignored in order to follow trends. Foreign culture should be filtered wisely, not followed blindly. Without guidance from family, school, and the environment, teenagers can lose their identity. Therefore, it is important to instill moral and character education so that the younger generation can continue to follow the times without forgetting the culture and ethics of the nation.
The lack of moral and ethical awareness among teenagers is caused by limited parental guidance, negative influence of social media, and unfiltered foreign cultures. To overcome this, families, schools, and communities need to work together to instill ethical values. Parents need to be more attentive, schools strengthen character education, and teenagers are encouraged to wisely filter outside influences. With these efforts, the moral character of the young generation can be shaped well again.
