Urbanization. People are spending a lot of time working and trying to survive that the family structure get broken down. Apartments in urban areas are too small for extended family. It's easier to hire someone to take care of a parent that to do it yourself. Media also has a big influence on people.

It used to be neighborhoods had people that were home all day. Kids had a bit more freedom because no matter where you were someones mom probably saw you. \nPeople now are much more concerned about what they own and how they will get it, we think we have more needs and are always trying to keep up with the standard we see in the media. We are a society of image rather than relationships. We preach tolerance and we judge appearances.\nWe move too fast and seem to think treating each other in insulting ways in comedic. \nPeople demand respect but seldom give it. We judge fast and forgive slowly.

i think its getting worse cause parents and schools are getting more and more lazy in how they teach and morals, parents are getting younger and younger(which is fine i was a mom at 16)but some of these young mothers don't want to spend time and love their children they want to see what their missing which leads to kids feeling lonely and left out their self esteem lowers they become depressed and turn to crime as an outcome

I agree with the answer above, but specifucally in Malaysa it is more difficult because of the cultural influence.  A majority of Malaysia is Muslim and most women have several children and marry young.  Most women have to work a "second shift" after their daytime/full time job.  The "second shift" being working at home, cooking, cleaning, working with kids.  This all has to do with the difficulty of women graduates not getting selected over male graduates.

That all depends on the people involved and what their values are. My marriage has lasted a very happy ten years, and most of that time has been in the "low income" category. Having "lots of money" is often nice as it helps to alleviate a lot of life's stresses, but also usually brings stresses of it's own, and many marriages have fallen apart due to having "lots of money". Again, it all really boils down to the people in the marriage, and what they value.

It say its the society. People in developed areas are alot different and dont seem as happy as people in underdeveloped areas in life in general. Rude, cheating, cunning thats the trap of the city life. It will swallow you and spit you out. Hence this is what we end up with today. Eg no family time spent together which results in people cheating and fighting with their parters and family memebers... I can be bothered to talk about it as it is a rather depresing subject. All I know is that Id rather live in the old days where you didnt have these problems as often.

In the United States, our consumer culture and focus on individuality rather than family and community has caused families to become spread out and less connected--both physically and emotionally.  I lived in rural Germany for several years, and I noticed, for example, that grandparents don't go to nursing homes; they move in with their children and help with the grandchildren.  Thus, they often eliminate the need for both nursing homes and child care facilities, and they have a close and cohesive family.  This can be perceived as either positive or negative, though, depending on your value system.  Historically, the American value system has emphasized the individual over the group.

Regretfully the traditions 30 years ago do not apply to now.  They have changed for many reasons...finance, technology, peer pressure and culture.  I didnt have a great deal of help from my parents seeing that they divorced when i was 12.  I had to learn my own morals early and get to know them\n\nI respect elders, im polite, i do the best i can....regretfully tho media and peer pressure are the worst.  People have now become revolved around themselves instead of their friends and family.  A survey was done on a current affair show here in Australia....a women scraped her knee after falling down.  ABSOLUTELY noone went to her to help.  Im ashamed....But the pressure of ones life has become so great that people have to see it themselves before they get sucked up by beuocracy

I don't think that marriage will be so important as it is nowadays, and even nowadays the importance has dwindled down. Less people are eager to get married, and less women want to have children. So, in the next 20-25 years I think that the birth rate will have significantly gone down, and so will the marriage rate. Maybe more dads will be staying home and taking care of the kids, while moms will be the ones bringing home the bread.

Generally, Malaysia has a government that implement policies  beneficial to all. \nDuring festivals, we have an open house culture whereby friends of different races visit each others homes enjoying the interaction as well as the different foods served. Many of us have close or good friends of other races. There are also quite a number of inter-racial marriages. We also have this spirit of co-operation & goodwill among us.\n \nWhen there is racial harmony among the different people groups, it makes it easier for a nation to prosper. This has happened & has allowed the government to focus on prospering the nation. Our main political party is made up of 3 major racial groups whose leaders hold ministerial positions in the  government.\n \nOur previous Prime Minister was also a man of great vision for this country and our nation rose up because of policies implemented during his tenure.\n\nThe different religious groups here also pray & sometimes come together to pray for the continual peace & prosperity of this nation.

One can certainly write a book about this topic, but here are a few consequences stemming from the increasing numbers of overseas Filipino workers, of OFWs.\n\nSociological: many observers have noticed changes in the traditional family structure; as a substantial portion of OFWs are women, they often work abroad to send money home to put their children through school; thus, children often live in single parent households where the primary breadwinner is absent and gender roles are reversed, i.e. the mother is the breadwinner, while the father takes on the role of homemaker.\n\nEconomic: overseas remittances are important in keeping the Philippines' balance of payments in surplus; as such, this preserves the level of reserve assets held by the Philippines, thus contributing to debt sustainability (the country is one of the largest issuers of sovereign debt in the developing world) and propping up the exchange rate (thanks in part to the large inflow of overseas remittances from OFWs, the Philippine peso was one of the strongest performers vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar in 2005).\n\nPolitical: given their increased importance in the economy, OFWs have rightly gained increased influence as a political constituency--up until 2004, overseas Filipinos were denied the right to vote; because of their large numbers -- some estimates go as high as 8 million -- their vote could potentially swing an election; however, as evidenced by the low turnout by eligible overseas Filipino voters in 2004, huge logistics problems need to be tackled to fulfill that potential.

1. A lack of parenting and discipline. A child needs to hear the word 'no' and have boundaries. Letting you child do whatever they want is only going to harm them in the end.\n\n2. A lack of personal responsibility. For example, all the ridiculous lawsuits - like the woman who spilled hot coffee on herself and sued McDonald's. It's a cheap ploy to get quick cash and it's nothing but pure greed. \n\n3. Selfishness. I think this goes along with the lack of personal responsibility. We're too busy being wrapped up in our own lives and being self-absorbed that rarely do we see acts of genuine kindness or altruism.\n\nIn my opinion, those are the three main signs of moral decaying society - however, I don't think society is completely doomed or anything. Every generation has, and will have, problems; I think it's a matter of changing attitudes and working for the good of everyone, rather than 'me, me, me'. :)

It seems Malaysia - which has generally been practicing tolerance in the past - has joined the league of intolerant societies.  It is really, really sad.\n\ncc

It's a cultural shift to the age of information. People become jaded about life and love when they are bombarded with internet porn, unattainable bodies, soft drink ads, and winning free ipods. The ideals of our grandparent generation are gone. I don't think that there is all bad to come of this shift, i believe that we are more aware and informed then ever. We have way more options then the you have to marry girl down the street or the person you parent picked out for economic reasons.
