Research Question
Research question: What problems young people face in the present age as compared to
older generations?
Part 1
Greatergood.berkeley.edu. "How Teens Today Are Different From Past Generations."
Greater Good. N.p., 2018. Web. 19 June 2018.
The author has presented the view that the young generation today is very self-centred that
makes it difficult for the young people to assimilate with the society. The young people of the
present age are very confident and they do not want to listen to the opinion of other people
which makes it difficult for them to sometimes take crucial decisions. The idea that has been
presented by the author is that the life of the teenagers of the present age is influenced to a
great extent by that of income inequality which demoralizes hopes pertaining to the future.
The author disagrees with the point of view that the young generation of the present
age is immoral and states that the emerging adults are not aware of any kind of moral
reasoning outside themselves. The factor of morality along with immorality differs for every
individual and the young people being called immoral is only a fact of personal opinion. The
author has contradicted the life history theory that states that inequality in income gives rise
to the problems that the young generation face in the present age.
The author has presented the opinion that the ideas of the young people emanate from
that of “moral individualism” and from their personal belief system. The author has brought
out the fact that everyone is entitled to their own moral views in the society and the
questioning the viewpoint of other people cannot be called right.
