Youth: Then and Now

The Youth Then and Now

Young people then and now have little space in their distance from behavior, habits, habits, clothing, emotions, and other things. It is said that young people then were more respectful, obedient, and kind than today's youths. They are very sincere in their hearts and minds; on the other hand, today's youth have a reckless attitude. The youth of the time were more careful in grooming and dressing and were very faithful in obeying the law, so to speak, the youth then was shaped by preaching and humility. and marriage is something everyone is proud of. Young people today are different. They are aware of the modern age so they are more advanced in the argument that sometimes they are mistaken for disrespect for others. Extremely daring to do and fond of many types of leisure. Their goals are very high and the goal is more advanced. Many are equally wise and equally diligent among the youth then and now. The youth then and now are the hope of our people.

They are both patriotic, loving, helpful to relatives, and have goals in life. Jose Rizal said “Youth is the hope of the people”, but what is happening to young people today? Are they still the hope of our people or are they the only ones who are causing problems in our town? Yes, the youth are the hope of the people, this is true. After all, they are the ones who will help rise to the problems of the people and face another prosperous tomorrow because their minds are sharp and they can already see the mistakes and shortcomings of the older ones that they will correct in due course but is that still the case in this generation? Is that still the way young people think for themselves and their country? " Young people today are very different from our generation than”,“ young people are changing a lot ”,“ others are different now especially the young people ”that is what my grandparents always say.

 Time is changing, genetics and even young people are changing in various fields whether negative or positive. My grandparents always told me about their lives when they were young. In dressing properly, speaking well and responding to the elderly, in studying well, in gestures and movements and whatnot. It is said that when the parents scolded the young people, they just kept quiet, not like now, even if the parents cry at the reprimand, the young people will still answer. They used to be very conservative in a fashion not like now as long as they keep up with the trend. Especially in the study then very serious young people will do everything to graduate unlike now they no longer value education and become careless as well. You will only see young people in malls, in computer shops, in bars, and on the sidewalks and they are forgetting their other priorities. With each passing hour, day or year, more and more young people are addicted to the things they can do. Sometimes I sit in a room and think about the situation of young people today and I ask myself "why should all young people today be careless with themselves, at school and so on".

 The life of today's youth should not be better and easier due to the development of technology but the youth have used it in the wrong way. Fights on social media, getting wrong misinformation, and so on. Technology can be a big help if it is only used in a good and proper way. There are still many young people in today's generation who are treading life. May they give way to other young people who have become like them and not be careless in things. So that it will be a way to be kind, patriotic, loving, and helpful to the community. And these false futures of today's youth can be a help to them to learn and change. And rectify their background and self for the people. The youth are still the hope of the people. The youth then always obeyed the orders of their parents and even when they were young they knew how to cook and cook their food and knew how to do housework at an early age. Young people, on the other hand, are now making their parents helpers because their parents are the only ones doing household chores because the children are just playing computer games, cellphones, tablets, ipads, and other gadgets.

 The Difference Between Young People then and Young People Today The influence of every generation has greatly on the formation of habits that people, especially young people, value. Anything that exists in that generation will be reflected in the habits, speech, and even the way people view it. In other words, every generation is different; he has his weaknesses and strengths, he has real gold and others are silver. The young people then compared to today can be said to have lived in a simpler world; free from the influence of current technology. They became aware of the simpler pastime. Play or leisure is characterized by physical performance and its effect is purer happiness that deepens personal relationships with others. Above all, their vision of hard work is anchored in the extravagance of the button, enduring hardship, sweating, and serious dedication towards their desired success. Meanwhile, young people today have their way of showing appreciation for things. significance. The investment of sweet success is still an extra effort. But in the complex world disguised as technology the offer is easier to live with, the return is easy interaction but often only hypocritical. In this aspect, the challenge lies with the youth of this generation. How can we deepen our appreciation for the important aspects of life and humanity? How can the spirit of appreciation for human dignity, the dignity of principle, faith, and respect for others be restored? Every generation has its differences. May this difference bring each other more pleasant growth and help in the event of becoming a real person who in every moment of life becomes human.
