The Roots of Indiscipline in Contemporary Ghanaian Society – A Sociological Perspective

Abstract

The spate of indiscipline in contemporary Ghanaian society is quite alarming and this certainly is a source of concern for many law abiding Ghanaians. As a social problem, indiscipline manifests itself in several forms and represents all that is a violation of healthy and decent existence in society. The manifestation of indiscipline in the Ghanaian society has been the outcome of external and internal factors. The former has to do with the nature of external interventions, influences and the international economic order and the latter problems of mismanagement as a result of failed political leadership, characterized by greed and ignorance.
