Contribution of Adolescence Stage to Moral Decadence

Adolescence indeed is a time of strong ambivalence attraction towards repulsive from an object person or thing, both for the adolescent and his parents. The adolescent is form between an unwillingness to give up the indulgence of childhood and willingness to accept the privilege and responsibilities of adulthood. The term "adolescence" is gotten from the Latin verb meaning "to grow up" it is a period of life from puberty to maturity. For the biologist, adolescence is the period of rapid growth which begins with an accelerated phase that continues until the attainment of sexual maturity merges unto a decelerating phase and terminates when skeletal growth has ended. While sociologists see it as a social phenomenon because it is a period of positive attainment of growth and of maturation, in other words, it is a period between a stage of transition.

According to Norman (1973), "the hormones poured out into the wood stream at adolescence radically and profoundly affect the whole person".

Causes of Examination Malpractice

Examination malpractice is caused by many factors which include:
a.    Student Factors: The students are the primary culprits in all matters of examination malpractice. Factors under student issues include:
i.    Laziness and lack of interest in academic work. Most students are generally lazy, they do not attend classes as at when due, and so become ill-prepared for examinations. Students often think they will be helped during examinations; therefore they pay little or no attention to hard work.
ii.    Inability of the students to cope with school work (examination expectations).
iii.    Inadequate preparation for examination by students is another major student factor that contributes to examination malpractice. Most students have very poor study habits and cannot cover their syllabuses before examination.

Dangers and Consequences of Examination Malpractice

Examination malpractice is a social evil that can damage society to the extent of possibly leading to a failed state. It has very serious economic, political and social consequences. In the last ten years alone, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) had to cancel the results of 814,699 candidates in its May/June Examination (Aminu, 2006). Considering the cost of buying examination forms alone, this amount to a waste of about 2.5 billion naira. Apart from direct wastage of money, there is also wastage in the form of opportunity cost to the nation and society.
    Examination malpractice renders the goals of education invalid. The actualization of the goals of education will continue to be a mirage if the scourge of examination malpractice is not eradicated from the system. The country will end up producing graduates who lack the knowledge, skill, and competence to exploit the resources of the nation. Besides, the graduates will lack the right type of values and attitude needed for survival in a globalized economy.

The Concept of Poor Academic Performance

Poor academic performance according to Aremu (2000) is a performance that is adjudged by the examinee/testee and some other significant as falling below an expected standard. The interpretation of this expected or desired standard is better appreciated from the perpetual cognitive ability of the evaluator of the performance. The evaluator or assessor can therefore give different interpretations depending on some factors.
    Bakare (1994) described poor academic performance as any performance that falls below a desired standard. This criteria of excellence can be from 40 to 100 depending on the subjective yardstick of the evaluator or assessor. For example, a 70% performance of senior secondary 3 student is by all standard a good performance. However a cursory look at the performance and the individual examined and the standard of the examination he or she took could reveal that the performance is a very poor one. On the other hand, a JSS 2 student's performance of 37% in SS3 mathematics can be said to be a poor performance when in actual fact the performance is by all standards a very good one. This shows that the concept of poor academic performance is very relative and this depends on so many intervening variables.

Effects of Indecent Dressing

According to Nwabueze (2000), indecent dressing could lead to the following:

1.    Sexual Harassment: 

There is the likelihood that ladies who dress indecently or provocatively could be prone to sexual harassment and or rape. These forms of dresses suggest that such ladies need attention and that they are irresponsible and so there are always irresponsible men to dialogue, lure or force them to bed for sex.

2.    HIV/AIDS: 

This is another risk factor that immodestly dressed ladies could be prone to. When such ladies are forced into sex against their will they may be exposed to venereal diseases because of lack of protection. One of such killer diseases is HIV/AIDS.

REASONS WHY PEOPLE DRESS INDECENTLY

3.    Wrong use of the Internet:

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has helped to revolutionize the community tremendously. It has via the use of Internet, Communication satellites, mobile phones etc, helped to bring people together distance, culture or language notwithstanding. Through the activities of home videos, satellites and other media agents, values (faulty or correct), fashions (modern, modest and immodest) are traded across cultures and nations. In as much as ICT is helpful, consequential to human, and societal developments, the rate of abuse and the un-regulatory ways they are used call for great concern. Most of the youths and children that are exposed to some of their contents that most times are negative so quickly fall vulnerable. The parents of these children and their senior siblings in Diasporas are the ones promoting indecent and immoral practices and they are relayed through videos, pornography, and music as well as advertisement and fashion parades.

Possible Reasons Why Some Students Dress Indecently

This behavior is of a hydra-headed origin. It is not just a behavior that developed overnight, but an accumulated behavioral pattern that could be attributed to the home (neglect and or poor parenting), the effect of globalization arising from wrong values’ exportation and importation, a reflection of the high rate of moral decadence in the larger society (corruption and high rate of indiscipline among the leaders and the led), peer pressure and the desire to belong as well as fading values and demonization or demonic influence (Omede & Odiba, 2000). Each of these points is discussed in details.

Types of Indecent Dressing

Kogi State College of Education, Ankpa (2010) in her student’s Handbook and Academic Regulations stated that as a Teacher Training Institution, the Management decided not to condone indecent dressing on campus. Towards this end, a dress code has been recommended by the Academic Board and approved by Council for students’ compliance as follows:”
Female Students:
According to the Kogi State College of Education Handbook (2010), no female student is to put on any of the following attire on the campus of the college:
1.    Sleeveless tops
2.    Body hugs

Indecent dressing: A social malady

Indecent dressing simply means deliberate exposure of one’s body to the public.

This practice is contrary to the acceptable norms and values of the society.

Moral decadence on the other is a reduction in the level of morality in the society.

Do you observe that most children had gone haywire all in the name of the dressing?

Concept of Indecent Dressing

Every culture according to Articlesbase.com (2011) has its dressing code that may vary according to cultures. Despite this variation, one thing is certain and that is that every culture has an acceptable dress code. So every dress code that deviates from the one acceptable to the community especially as it affects the set moral standard or judgment of the community is termed indecent.

Statement of the Problem on the cause of indecent dressing among nigerian youths

This unethical and un-African dress pattern among the youths of this generation has generated lots of concern and worry among the citizenry of the country. Religious institutions as well as institutions of learning are not resting on their oars to watch this immoral act being perpetuated, but they speak against it. For instance, Olori (2003) reported that at the University of Abuja rules were made that any dress worn must cover intimate parts of the body, must not expose the breast, stomach, navel and bare chest. But on this very campus students still dress indecently.

STUDENTS PERCEPTION ON THE CAUSE OF INDECENT DRESSING

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Indecent appearance has come to characterize the dress pattern of many students on the campuses of higher learning in Nigeria. There is hardly any higher institution of learning in this country that is not faced with this nauseating problem (Articlesbase.com, 2011). The way students on these campuses of learning particularly, the female ones, dress seductively leaves much to be desired. What the girls call skirts that they wear is just “one inch” longer than their pants. When they put on such dresses, they struggle to sit down, find difficulty in climbing machines, cross gutters as well as pick anything from the ground. Apart from the skimpy and tight fitting nature of these dresses, they are again transparent; revealing certain parts of the bodies that under normal dressing patterns ought to be hidden away from the glare of people (Egwim, 2010).
