Indications of family value degradation in Phu Yen province: Causes and remedies

Abstract

Family plays an important role in educating its members and forming their personalities. There has been a warning on the decline in teenagers’ moral values seen from recent criminal cases in Phu Yen province, in which defendants, victims and persons with relating interests and obligations are all members of the same family. Showing mutual responsible and emotive concern, as well as sharing care and control among each other in the family is one of the best ways to prepare for teenagers to enter their life with confidence and to avoid bad behaviors and actions before things are too late.
