When we read the information in print and web media staying from outside Sri Lanka, it appears Sri Lanka is a chaotic country without law and order. The information is mixed with social media which is associated with manipulation than truth. Many Sri Lankans living in the country state that the actual status in the country is quite different from the picture shown on social media. Why this chaotic picture whether it is the true situation or a manipulated status by the media is a hard task for people to judge.

Inflation and quick changes in consumer prices seem all over the world. Generally, it is believed that the media presents is a true picture and when it looks at the true picture Sri Lanka has much information on social media which is manipulated matters and highlighted in the media. A chaotic situation has been in the country.

Why this situation is in the country I think attitudes of people and not understanding values.  Religions are just matters for showoff and they do not work in society. In fact, religions in Sri Lanka are the finery wearing Sri Lanka to show off and they do not follow the philosophy of religion.

In this chaotic situation, value education would be the logical requirement and why the government policymakers ignore their responsibility of them.
