With the recent rise in gambling activities especially even among the elderly those seen as elders who supposed to be advising the younger generations about the genders of gambling getting involved in related activities, infact if you enters a local gambling shop in my country you will not no an elder from a youth because you see elders also engaging in gambling especially virtually sport betting.
So am asking the forum what do you think is the cause of the rise in gambling related activities in our society is it due to bad economic situation or simply addiction?
Let have your view please
In my personal view there is the possibility of economic pressure, cultural changes due to advances in the era and also addiction as you said is a main problem, we know that gambling is often a shortcut that is considered easy to make money, so when they have economic pressures and problems, gambling will often be an outlet, In addition, cultural changes and unlimited freedom have actually made no difference in rights between parents and children today, so this is what makes us often see children no longer have respect for parents, vice versa parents also seem to have lost responsibility for their children when their children are 18+ and no longer care what they do although the child is trapped in gambling addiction.
