Things not so cool about younger generation!!!
Recently one of the survey highlighted that the current younger generation (? 15-25 years) are less humble, less polite, display less of courtesy and kindness for fellow human beings. There could be many drawbacks in the survey and its interpretation. May be those experts in anthropology, sociology and psychology can provide more scientific data on such issues. However it may be visible for the common man in his everyday experience that many young individuals consider being polite, humble, paying due respect, display of kindness & concern as not being so ‘cool’!
Being cool is all about “I, me & myself”, currently considered the motto of a ‘tech savvy life’! It is sad to note that these ‘not so cool things ‘do not end in their adolescence and young adulthood. They are likely to be carried forward for the rest of their lives, primarily because there is a dearth of role models, virtually in all places, be it at home, institute, workplace, media and even the society at large. May be it is high time that all of us rediscover these virtues, use them in everyday life and propagate them consciously.
