The society has been eroded, culture and religion is only a mere symbol of “social and economic source” for its member. In the life of our ancestors, the status of education were held strong, from moral value, religion norms to the value of culture, even the metaphysics value were held strong in education. But the sheer negative influence from technology caused “life of chaos and complex” has moved and destroy the formal structure which eventually create a family which has a desire and busyness but lack of spiritual value
