Deficient Education &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Education as we all know is one of the most significant and strong pillars that builds the life of a person. A sufficient educational experience contributes in making a better quality life not only in terms of materialist fulfilments but also in terms of being a better human being. There are a majority of young people who do not get sufficient education. According to a survey, there are around 70 million children across the globe that are unable to get sufficient education and in some cases, no education at all, there can be many factors contributing to which like poverty, the survival of family through the younger members, severe diseases and many more.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Materialism &#8211;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Materialism refers to the exposure and a growing need for materialist objects which oppose and denies the concept of spirituality and intellectuality. It is due to materialism that most of young people prioritize material possessions and do not value other virtues. The effects of materialism have led the youth towards being more money-minded and less thankful and generous. The growing modernity and advancement in terms of technology and especially fashion has contributed in directing the youth towards materialism. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Crime &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crime among young people has increased over the years. There can be a lot of factors that can contribute to the chances of younger people indulging in crimes. The factors can be-<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Lack of Parental Guidance\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Parental guidance is one of the much-needed elements in guiding a child through their childhood which contributes not only in putting humane qualities in him but to society as well.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lack of Education\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When children are not given proper education, they will not get quality jobs later in the future. They will only be left with jobs which cannot earn them the comforts of life neither fulfill their dreams. As a result of which, they will start looking for activities which will fetch them ample amount of money in no time like robbery, theft, kidnapping, murders, and whatnot. So, education also plays a great role in making or breaking a person\u2019s future. \u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conflict Between Parents\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When children grow up watching parents fight, for instance, the father beating the mother, abusing and consuming alcohol and nobody raising their voice against it, the child starts to take it as a part of life and repeats the same thing later with his own family as well.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Abuse at a Young Age\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People having survived abuse since a young age are very much likely to be destructive to society when not given attention to their emotional health.
