Expectations

[Natsuu]

This is thread is about politics and SOCIETY, so in this one, we'll be discussing society's expectation towards the youth.

Society's expectation towards the youth varies directly with the era we are currently living. Youths are pretty much expected to improve and develop something that was not been seen, or innovated ideas for better living. These expectations are always will be in fact, consciously or subconsciously in the minds of anyone, also for me in the future.

So my question is, what are your expectations towards the youth in this era especially to those who are in college/university?

I want you all to state if you're a student, adult, or a parent if you're gonna reply on this thread regarding your stand.

I'm already a parent but young adult.

It is disappointing to see what the youths are making themselves busy with. They are emotional and easy to be moved by a situation. As with politics, they ride with the issues that they don't even understand. Just look to the social media posts related to politics, you'll see that there are those that don't understand what's the exact issue yet they complain.

Complaining and ranting about the wrongdoings that they see is fine. But if it's getting too much to the point that they rant without thinking, that's becoming pointless.

My tip to them is to choose people that they come along with and people that surrounds them. Because that gives them huge influence of appreciation, understanding and knowledge towards any topic, situation including politics.

I definitely agree with this, for I am part of that youth who complains about the wrongdoings of the government. To see some people misinterpret our stand and do a post with no significance to what were fighting for is something that annoys me. I am also in thinking of maybe some are just trolling to act like on our side, when they are on the other.

Also, that some of the people on my age do really be sensitive in issues that concerns them. They lack the understanding and acceptance of others opinions regarding these topics.

Educate with things that they do not learn at school, like financial literacy, DIY fixes, survival stuff and basically anything that makes them independent. Current curriculum in schools are archaic. We also should stop providing the youth with technology, this lessens their attention span that could manifest in adulthood, give them books and literature to read to master the skill of critical thinking, there are so few people who read books in this day and age.

As much as I agree with your statement, the "We also should stop providing the youth with technology" is not a good alternatives and way to solve the problem you stated. There are youth's out there who we can say use this technology for entertainment and other unproductive stuffs, but we can't just disregard other teens who use these technological advantages in this era for their self-improvement. There are youth's who uses technologies to read online, there are others who use this to innovate and invent products, while there are some who was deeply inclined with robotics which also take advantage of technology, and also some who uses technologies to earn profits through professional gaming.

As there are a lot of cons in this technological age, Pros are also directly proportional to it. I would rather recommend to limit the usage of technologies to the youths. Set some limits, prohibition,  and time usage.

As long as the complaints are valid and it's not really just made-up, you and everyone who sees it can voice it out.

But the others that complain which is almost everything to them is wrong, only see the wrong things they also need to improve their understanding towards a situation.

The youth is the hope of a nation but time and situation is changing that belief.

I did not have the proper verbiage at that post and good thing that you pointed it out. I do not want total removal of technology, I benefit from it too so why take it away from the youth. In my opinion, self-improvemement with the aid of technology is not a good thing, because most classes on them are fads or will only work for some certain types of person, the best way to self-improve is to explore the outdoors. This activities will also makes us less dependent on technology because we are reliable, remember that being complacent is a weakness.

I would not like to state my status of being a student or a parent, but this is unfortune to see that most of the youth these days are spending and wasting time on useless activities. For example there is so much information available online but youth searches are mostly limited to movies and porn.

This may be because of the availability of these products. Movies and Pornographies can already be accessed freely by anyone, and as an entertainment, this activities are considerably hard to ignore. It is like a candy offered to a child given by a stranger, without proper guidance from the parents/guardian, the kid most likely will take the candy and come along with the stranger.

The problem is who will teach them the right and wrong way ? Isn't this the duty of the educational institutes which take a lot of money and deliver nothing other a piece of paper so called a certificate. Parents never got time from their own money making daily routine and therefore the youth does not get any guidance neither from the home nor from the teachers.

I understand your sentiment regarding the issue of parents are in need to work day in and out to provide the needs of the family. I really agree with this view but, guidance doesn't need to consume an hour. Guidance may occur on a daily basis, during dinner, breakfast, or lunch, depending on your availability as the parent or a guardian. Start them as young as possible to nurture their understanding regarding on your time, and how you implement the rules. KIDS and teens really look up to their parents at this age, as I can attest to this.

Regarding the issue with the educational institutions, yes they're considered as the second family of the youths, and they give lessons regarding proper manners and etiquette, but most of the learning providers (Profs, and teachers) only based their opinions and deductions from books and their own personal experiences. They are not in the same house as their students so, you can't expect for them to teach and guide them towards the rightful ways.

Universities are becoming safe space harbors instead of institutions of intellect and critical thinking. I wouldn't even call it a sensitivity. It's almost like political correctness is forcing some conversations to not be had.

Critical race theory is a big one that's new. It's pretty much based on this idea that all white people have some sort of bias, aka racism, and college departments are adopting this sort of theory.

It's not new at all.

You’ve likely heard the phrase “critical race theory” thrown around quite a bit lately, usually associated with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Frankly, I’m surprised that we are hearing about it so often. Critical race theory is a concept talked amongst Marxists openly, but they typically like to keep that idea under wraps for the general public. Giving something a name allows for identification, and while the hard-left would love you to experience the effects of what they do, they don’t want you to be able to identify what it is they’re doing, where the idea came from, or what their endgame is.

Well, what did you want us to do? Kill off all the slaves the day after we set them free?

In this era no youth actually wanted to enters into politics but they actually having better knowledge compared to 90s generation not sure is that enough to make some changes in the society. Their expectations is to have a ruler who is going to help the people and make everyone rich and its just a day dream in my opinion.

I am an adult and finished my studies 3 years ago. It already like forever being a student, the life was so much easier. If I compare my student time with the current pandemic I feel very bad for the students these days. Life was so happy back in the days, we could go out every day of the week, there were cheap student bars everywhere. And now the life has become so boring. We are likely in lockdown until March next year. So it's more than a year this pandemic madness.

Yup, I guess, as a youth myself, I can say that this is what we want, but not expect what we can get. We know that we can't achieve this kind of thing in just one go, and we know that this would take a lot of process. What we really want I guess is someone who really try to achieve these things, and who is not CORRUPT.

yup, we really do feel bored about this pandemic limiting our movements to make college life somehow exciting, But the question is the expectation towards these youths you're talking about. I would like to know what you expect for us to do, or what do you expect us to be.

society's expectation towards the youth.

The biggest expectation is that the young people will solve the climate crisis. Of course this is totally unfair, but it's the situation that will be bequeathed. It's a result of the chronic short-termism in modern politics. If the issue isn't having a catastrophic effect right now, then kick the can down the road and let the next generation deal with it. This isn't a left/right thing, all governments are the same. This sort of behaviour manifests all the time, not least in the responses to Covid...


https://xkcd.com/2278/

I hope the next generation can solve the climate crisis, but that doesn't mean we should stop putting pressure on the current generation to sort out the mess they and their predecessors have created. If people only act when it's too late, then it's too late.

I just finished from the University a few years back so, I guess that puts me in the ADULT part of OP's classification. Thank you.
It seems you just hijacked the conversation at Jossiel though it's within the context of the topic so it's Okay but then, the youths are by far the brainees and tools of every nation.

But in every society especially in the developing nations, there is always a problem. That is, the problem of social stratification. Yes! It can't be avoided and people like this are needed in the society to play some other roles but then, life could be fairly stable should those occupying government offices choose not to be greedy and use the available amenities in a judicious way but, this is a difficult task as, it's part of human nature to self develop when opportuned. For this, corruption strives.

In Domestic Aspects
Not many aged parents are familiar with IOS and ADRIOD systems and such, you would need a youth to guide them, when they get I'll, a youth is expected to assist in getting around as it should be and I don't think they've been failing.

In politics
Youths are barely allowed full participation in politics, why?
The grown ups believe we've got no experience and as such, the youths are viewed as a pun on a chess board to play their way into power and once they are there, they exhibit a self centered nature and loot at every opportuned time. It's absurd. How is this possible to use the youth as a pun?
Not every one can attain the same state of reasoning and as such, this stratifications exist. Most politicians can't allow there wards to attend same institutions of learning as the masses not because they aren't safe but are willing to send their wards to some other nations institutions to study because it's more advanced meanwhile, these advancements are possible innovations within reach in your nation. But no, it doesn't happen.
For this reason, you get educated illiterate (by that I mean, you go through the fall walls of an institution without learning the basics of life). These persons are usually of the low class wards and later become puns more easily in an electoral process to attain power.
There is a notion that goes that;

"Politics is a dirty game"

Can you imagine, the future of a nation determined by a game! Where the masses suffer and can't do much but revolt of which, the youths die and the political scandal continues with little reforms. It's sad that, before any reform, a youth must die as a result of protest. Is that to say, politicians weren't aware of the things that needed reformation?
I really want to say more but, it's getting too elaborate so, I'll end it here.

When It Comes To Development
If the bases of a youths education is right, the youths will surely meet up. Youths are vibrant and capable of thinking solutions to probelms with a sharp mind and little responsibility with regards to family. The society in which a youth finds him or herself greatly influences this as, you can't be in a society where nothing works, no power supply, no means of earning a few bucks, all your left with is options that drains you of your youthful energy to earn a few cents just to feed and as such, the youth is gradually designed to see food as ultimate want.

Nations like China are by far above this. They invest in their youths and provide the necessity for youth empowerment and as such, I doubt there are any nation in the world without a 'Made in China' brand. If your opportuned to make the society better, do so for the rest of man kind and not just your dynasty. The society would be better that way with no need for youths to involve in crime.

I'm a youth and my mind is my greatest investment now

That may well be your biggest expectation, very few share it.
