Essay: Moral Decline among Children in the United States

Instructions

Answer Preview

There are many reasons why there is a moral decline among children in the United States. First, children in the United States usually see their parents breaking up. Research studies have revealed that more than 50% of children will be brought up by one parent by the time they reach 18 years. In addition to this, a large percentage of children will lose contact with their biological fathers. Another cause for moral decline among children in the United States is that most of the children see both parents rushing to their places of work, leaving them under childcare providers. It also remains clear that 52% of children who are under 5 years have mothers who are employed full or part-time (Gur 23).
