This study aims to analyze the forms and causes of the moral crisis facing the younger generation in the digital era, evaluate existing strategies, and formulate an integrative solution model. This research uses qualitative, descriptive, and analytical methods through in-depth interviews, passive participant observation, and documentation studies using the Miles and Huberman data analysis model. The results indicate that moral degradation has mutated into the virtual space in the form of relational cybercrime, digital academic anomie, and hedonistic behavior due to algorithm manipulation and dysfunctional social control within families and schools. Character education holds a dual, urgent position as both a preventive and curative instrument. This study recommends a radical reconstruction of character-building methods through the implementation of the Digital Agential Morality (DAM) model, which organically synergizes the roles of schools, families, and communities based on digital ethical literacy.
