Ans. The Self- Centred Generation
Gone are the days when the younger generation had regard for values, when they were sensitive towards everyone- their parents, elders, teachers etc. Today's generation is self centered. They only live for themselves. They do not have feelings towards the poor and the deprived people. The values are degenerating. There are several reasons behind this change. The main reason are money, luxuries and competitiveness. Man has become like a machine without emotions. They want money and luxuries in lives. Their only motive is to defeat others by their achievements. Even the parents and teachers' impart them education but forget to make them aware about values and moral and sensitivity towards others.
