It might be easy to chalk up the younger generation as careless and unconcerned and altogether misdirected, but that's the easy way out, and it is flawed. 是什麼意思

to chalk up = to explain with _____, the root cause was ______, to blame bc of _____. for example: the water is polluted, which we can chalk up to the factories nearby.

2, misdirected: don't know what's right, lost, lacking clear goals / beliefs, etc

3. that's the easy way out = that's not the real answer, it's something that seems simple but is not true. So believing it would be simple and easy, and you'd be done thinking about it, so you'd be "out", but really there is a deeper, more complicated truth. other example, cheating on homework is an easy way out. ignoring something instead of understanding it is an easy way out, etc
