Factors Contributing to the Erosion of Values

Moral Decline and the Erosion of Social Values

  • Moral Decline: Rising cynicism, a disconnect between rights and responsibilities, materialism, and increased violence are weakening societal wisdom and ethical behaviour.
    • Example: Increased online bullying and trolling, often enabled by anonymity, highlights a decline in empathy and personal responsibility.
  • Weakened Social Fabric: Vested interests, terrorism, societal disruptions, and an excessive focus on worldly pursuits are creating a void in social cohesion and stability.
  • Materialistic Culture: The relentless pursuit of material wealth, combined with rampant commercialization, is eroding ethical values and traditional priorities.
    • Example: Fast fashion trends prioritise low prices and high turnover over ethical labour practices and environmental sustainability.

  • Social Media Misuse: The spread of misinformation, “deep fakes,” and the general misuse of social media platforms contribute to the erosion of values.
    • Example: The spread of conspiracy theories and false information about vaccines on social media platforms erodes trust in science and public health experts.
  • The Bystander Effect: The tendency for people to be less likely to intervene in emergencies as the number of bystanders increases creates a climate of apathy and undermines social responsibility.
    • Example: Cases where bystanders film a crime instead of intervening to help the victim or calling for assistance.
