Abstract	Moral values have traditionally served as the foundation of human civilization. In the present age of globalization, materialism, technological dominance, and individualistic lifestyle, the relevance of moral values is being consistently challenged. This research paper explores the role of family, society, and education in the moral development of children and youth. It analyses the causes behind modern ethical deterioration including consumerism, excessive competition, and digital influence. The review of six recent studies highlights the significance of value-based education for character formation, emotional balance, and responsible citizenship. The paper proposes essential reforms in the educational structure and community environment to revive cultural ethics and ensure a morally enlightened generation.
