London Riots: My Point of View

It was a week ago when I was horrified to know that there were riot going on in London, It all started with a man getting shot and then 'all hell broke loose' and everybody started looting and creating violence. It is reported that some inciting of this violence started due to social media site such as Facebook and Twitter and that there were a number of young people who were arrested recently such as a young man by the name of Jordan Blackshaw who is 21.

Now why is this happening?

Why would people whom are in this age group better known as Generation Y do such things?

It is because there is now a lack of moral value and standard that has been eroding our society over the past few years. This has led to the very reason as to why we are now having this type of issue and trouble with young adults who have trouble even following rule. An often-mentioned quote 'Rules are meant to be broken' would be a very apt way of describing why they would do such things and very often do not feel guilty about their actions. We have seen this during the riots in London when people would loot shops and later justify that 'we are doing this to get back at the rich'

FACT of a point is that 2 wrongs do not make a right!!

So What Next?

As this rule has been circumvent, we are no longer living under a structure that has been set where our borders are clearly marked out. We are now living in a time whereby, we are exploring what can be done without the security of a clearly marked out border which states what is right and wrong. This has led to the line being blurred between what is right and wrong and thus this has led to moral degradation in our current society.
