Anomie is a term used to describe the lack of ethical values in society. It is a state of normlessness or a lack of social or moral standards in an individual or group. This can lead to feelings of alienation, confusion, and apathy. ANOMIE is often seen as a result of rapid social change, such as globalization, or a lack of clear rules and regulations. It can also be caused by a lack of shared values or a breakdown in communication between different groups.
