The Increased Freedom of Today's Youth |
|
It is common for teenagers to complain about having too little freedom, but
compared to previous generations, today's youth actually have more freedom in
several areas, including knowledge, communication, and money.
With the rise of the Internet and other information technologies, today's youth
have greater access to information than ever before. They can easily find and
exchange information through websites like Wikipedia and HowStuffWorks and share
their knowledge with others through blogs and wikis. This level of information
freedom was not available to previous generations.
In addition, social networks like Facebook, Whatsapp, and Skype have given
today's youth more social freedom. They can easily make new friends and
communicate with existing ones through their mobile phones, sharing pictures,
music, and videos with ease. This level of social freedom was also not available
to previous generations.
Finally, today's youth have more financial freedom. Rather than constantly
asking their parents for money, many parents now provide their children with a
monthly allowance and teach them how to manage their money responsibly. This
level of financial freedom was also not common in previous generations.
In conclusion, today's youth have more freedom than previous generations in
several areas, including knowledge, communication, and money. While teenagers
may still feel restricted at times, they should consider themselves lucky to
enjoy more freedom than their parents did at the same age. |
