-Existence of poor role models.
-Learners have a challenge of double standards from some adults. The behavior of some modern adults does not measure to the required ethical standards. The slogan of “do as I say but not as I do” confuses adolescents.
-Influence of mass media.
-The internet, pornographic movies, the televisions etc expose children to acts of sexual abuse, criminal activities, bad literature, drug abuse cases etc. Children perceive the actors in these programs as heroes and heroines and thus imitate and emulate without considering the consequences.
-The breakdown of the traditional social fabric.
In the traditional African society, it was the responsibility of all adults to ensure moral uprightness among children. Today, the individualistic attitude has taken toll and each person for himself and his family. Families have moved out of the social ties and live independently.
-The human rights movement.
This has made children rebellious and have little respect for authority and even their parents. Children of today can choose to do what they want in the name of rights.
-Negative peer influence.
Students learn from each other both good and bad habits. In most cases, they influence one another negatively in the way they behave e.g dug abuse.
-Poverty in society leading to cases of stealing/robbery, prostitution, and child labor among others.
-Generation gap
Many modern parents fear discussing moral issues with their children. The adults are perceived by adolescents to be old fashioned and outdated. This is unlike in the traditional African system where elders freely discussed moral issues with the adolescents.
