The influence of families on their children greatly affect their values and lifestyles. In the formation of children's morals, no outside influence is greater than that of the family. Through punishment, reinforcement and both direct and indirect teaching, families instill morals in children, and help them to develop beliefs that reflect the values of their culture. (Anonymous, n.d.) The environment that children grow up in certainly has some impact on what type of personality characteristics they develop. If families are high conflict, and the children are drawn into many arguments and disagreements, they are much more likely to become withdrawn or have a personality that is conflict-driven as they grow older. In addition, if a family does not have any sort of structure within the household, children will be much more impulsive and may get into trouble more often than children who come from structured households. (Hartline, 2017) Within the family, there are three key processes by which children learn character and morality: forming emotional attachments, being taught prosocial behavior, and learning respect for authority and compliance with rules. All teaching of right and wrong begins with attachment--the warm, emotional tie that children have with their parents. Children learn from and are influenced most by those persons who are most meaningful to them, and the most meaningful adults are those to whom the child is emotionally attached. If a child does not have a strong emotional attachment to a parent, the effectiveness of the parent as a teacher and moral guide is greatly diminished. (Anonymous, 1998) Moral degradation is becoming a more pressing issue in today’s society. Moral breakdown, or moral degradation, is a phenomenon in which a major degradation or complete loss of values takes place within a particular society. (Anonymous, 2018)

b. These moral breakdowns occur more regularly in today’s generation. Examples of these are lack of simple manners when passing in a crowded public zone, basic decency to strangers, and even perspective into the world. When before, you could walk the streets in the Philippines with a sense of security, and even start commuting at a young age, these days, those situations are non-existent. Simple concern for passing pedestrians on the street, the following of basic road signs, and respect for women are rare traits found in the present. c. Moral values and graciousness, in the past, were more common in most teenagers. Majority of the youth then learnt respect, courtesy, consideration, decency, propriety, honesty and righteousness from a young age, and had enough self-discipline to hold to these values. Unlike in the past, where moral values and self-discipline were the norm, they are insufficient in today’s younger generation. However, these moral values and self-discipline are gradually losing ground over the years, as most of the younger generations are steadily disregarding these ethics. (Saquib, 2017) d. Moral degradation has become more rampant in today’s generation due to misguided upbringing. Parents have become more and more busy, lessening the time spent with family. Less time leads to less communication and more misunderstandings, thus introducing family breakdowns. III. Family breakdowns are a large factor in moral degradation. a. Children in single-parent families, to be sure, face obstacles to developing important moral qualities. Ethical development is rooted in emotional development, and children in singleparent families may suffer more persistently from those feelings -- shame, distrust, cynicism -- that commonly eat away at children's capacities for caring, responsibility, idealism, and other important moral qualities. In the wake of a divorce, for example, adolescents frequently suffer sharp disillusionment -a loss of idealized images of their parents and of the ideals these parents represent. After a divorce, large numbers of children both suffer the shame of poverty and are abandoned by their fathers (10 years after a divorce, two-thirds of children haven't

seen their father in a year and have effectively lost contact with their fathers). This is not the soil out of which idealism and a sense of responsibility for others can easily grow. (Weissbourd, 2002) b. Although teenagers may not have the same decision-making capacity as adults, parental influences can affect the way that a teen behaves and makes choices. In particular, parental behavior plays an important role in how teenagers make decisions. For example, if a teenager sees his parents acting impulsively or making poor choices such as neglecting household responsibilities or skipping work, the teen might believe that he is entitled to make similar choices. Similarly, parents or caregivers abuse or neglect children, they may develop immoral or impulsive behaviors, explains the Child Welfare Information Gateway. (Green, 2017) c. In a nuclear family especially where father and mother both are working, have no time to share with their child. The feelings and emotions of child remained un entertained, so the child finds some other places like TV, peer group, bad literature etc. to share feelings and emotions and start behaving immorally as revolt. (R, 1970) d. Even though we have established the fact that family environment and influence has a large impact on a person’s moral development, this does not mean that all people with broken families will have morals that are no longer intact. People have different reactions, therefore the values developed in each person still all differ, broken family or not.
