Abstract

Ethics and morals are very important aspects and must receive serious attention, especially amidst the decline in ethical and moral behavior among the younger generation today. This phenomenon is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed and fixed immediately.This ethical and moral crisis is caused by various factors, such as the family environment, education at school, lack of insight, deviant beliefs, cultural influences, and misuse of technology. This condition often has a negative impact, not only on the perpetrators but also on the people around them. This study uses a literature study approach by analyzing 42 articles published between 2017 and 2023. The purpose of this study is to identify steps that need to be considered and taken to overcome and fix the ethical and moral crisis that occurs. The results of this study indicate that the ethical and moral crisis, especially in children, is real and requires immediate handling for the future of the nation. One solution that can be applied is to develop character education.
