As the Young See It
Youth is a very important period in our lives. This is the time when a person discovers the world. Young people face a lot of problems which, in fact, do not differ much (1) from those that their parents once had to deal with. At the same time every generation is unique. It has its own experiences, ideas and a system of values. Every new generation (2) grows faster and enjoys more freedom, it is better educated and benefits more from the results of the technological progress.
Young people today do not directly accept the standards of their parents who (3) often believe they are right because they are older. Young people often begin to question the adults’ values and say they are not ready to agree with them all. These problems may lead to the so-called generation gap and result in the young and the old misunderstanding each other. The question is if it is possible to apply old standards to the new way of life. Sometimes the answer is “no”.
The majority of young people (4) do not want to live in the past.They would like to follow their own lines and make their own mistakes rather than to listen to the warnings of adults and repeat the mistakes of the older generation.
Communication has always been an important part of young people’s lives. Today they can choose between traditional and new ways of communication. Traditionally the young meet after classes with their school friends, arrange parties, go to the movies or disco clubs to have fun, (5) relax and meet new friends. But if young people don’t like this kind of entertainment, they can find friends without leaving their homes — the Internet gives such an opportunity. Although the international World Wide Web is intended for getting knowledge, only few users employ it in this way. Others use different computer programmes (6) to chat with their friends from all over the globe. An important thing here is not to overdo it, which happens quite often. Some young people can sit in front of their monitors for 24 hours. The only thing they are interested in (7) is surfing the net and checking their e-mail boxes. By limiting themselves to this kind of communication they may turn their lives into a sort of surrogate [?s?r??e?t].
