Faith is not something that can be forced but is earned through consistently of action and word. There was a time when people expected and encouraged certain values in action even when rewards were not forthcoming. We called that honor and integrity. True service to people as an end to itself.
Many decisions have become a game and these positions are sometimes seen as just jobs disconnected from the bigger purpose of serving society or building a great nation.
The problem is not the youth or the old but our current generation. If we want to restore trust we need a deeper value set that says not everything, not even most things, should be about money, attorneys, politics and the like.
Do the right things and people will trust, do the wrong things and they won't. Fairly simple concept but each person has to understand and buy into that on a personal level. We are finding a decline in other institutions as well. No plans of action have been brought forward and sometimes needed changes are not occuring.
Just a thought...
