In 2007, the Star newspaper reported that an IPTS student in Segamat has dumped a baby in a plastic bag into a big drain. The baby which his umbilical cord is still intact was found by a good Samaritan. Two years later, Malaysia was shocked again by the same news: A fisherman had accidently fished a black plastic bag which he taught it was an ordinary plastic bag that had been littered by the irresponsible persons. He then opened the plastic bag out of curiosity and then was horrified for what he saw. A decayed baby!. This news proved that the statistics of social problems are increasing up until now. Thus, to ace these social problems, we should have strong moral values, parents should play their roles effectively and we should use media wisely.

            One of the major ways to ace the social problems is we should posses strong moral values. Moral values taught us to respect everybody including ourselves. For instance, by respecting ourselves, we eventually able to protect our pride from sexual harassments. Thus, when everyone has strong moral values, the social problems will gradually decline and stop. 

           

               Besides that, in acing the social problems parents should play their roles effectively.  Parents should spend some quality time with their children. Through this way, the children will realize that they are loved, appreciated and tendered by the parents. Thus, whenever they are going to do something awful, they will think first about the parents and the impacts on themselves. Hence, the parents’ roles would help in minimizing the social woes.

Lastly, we should use media wisely to prevent social problems. As we know, media is the nearest medium and the best way to communicate and educate teenagers. However, our teenagers today misuse the media such as television, movies and magazine with inappropriate materials which not suit with their age as teenagers. For example, by watching porn movies. As a result, this can lead to irresponsible sexual behaviors and thus, can cause social problems such as baby dumping. Therefore, by using the media wisely, we could avoid ourselves from involving in the social problems.

As a conclusion, the social problems can be solved by implementing the above steps; we should have strong moral values, parents should play their roles effectively and we should use media wisely. All parties should cooperate with each other to provide quality generations that can lead the nation in the future.
