Although society's perspective on youth is very sharp in some segments, some cultures are also flexible. If we give an example to this, it can affect the development of the person for cultural difference in societies. The main thing here is what the person wants, he / she should choose professional branches that will add value to his / her future and pay attention to personal development. It should always be open to innovation and keep up with it.
I'll be grateful to learn from you in the future, if we may meet in some places in this world. I admire how you envision the differences between different cultures correlated to the individually of each person. As I am in the same beliefs, and looking forward for the event where we can meet.
I'm an adult, not yet a parent and if I ever become one I'll do my best for my child to have interests and choose to do something that they like. I went to school not because I liked it but because my friends were doing it. Finished university, because I was told that I wouldn't be able to make money without it. Then I got basically kicked out into the world by my parents, like that young bird that gets kicked out of the nest and either learns to fly or gets eaten. I survived but never had a strong bond with my parents because of it. I wouldn't want my child to be treated like that.
Children can't be put into one basket. I know a number of them in different stages of life and coming from different families. Some are rich, some are poor, some respect money, some don't, some have hobbies, some don't... One thing that is common among all of them is that they are getting taught much less at school and the Internet is taking the role of a parent, a teacher and a friend.
Self understanding, and realization for change. It is nice to see people who can change the way the tradition of their ancentries because it is not applicable anymore and it is demoralizing based on personal experience. I hate the way people act like their parents, who they cursed to hell when they're young. Inflicting your own personal grudge to your young'uns is not a way to release that years of resentment towards your monsters.
