Our society once said to be the essence of culture, morality, and character, is today continuously degenerating and deteriorating in terms of ethics, morals and values. The result is that we are seeing an increasing change in the behavior of individuals especially among youth. The influences of mass media, science and technology, modernization, globalization etc. are the prime factors for the degeneration of the youth in our society and corrupting the mind of a large number of youngsters. The present research is an endeavor to underline and confer the concern of decline of ethical and moral values among young generation. Moral values are certainly decreasing and everything now has become materialistic and we are observing a situation where morals are nil and ethics have been sent off to the bottom of the ocean. The research also tries to highlight the different factors which are considered responsible for the deterioration and decline of moral and ethical values among youth. There is an urgent need to focus and develop ethical values among youth in the society, as materialism is affecting and covering every sphere, attention should shifted towards enhancing and developing ethical values among youth who identify the prospect of a society.
