I can give you examples of not hardworking, dishonest young employees 20 years ago and I can tell you about hard working highly motivated young people now! \n\nThe two will always exist! Work mentality doesn't change that much in time, it all depends on the person.

For some, they believe than cannot do any better.  For others, the compensation may be subtantial, and place money before happiness.  Others, the market may be slow in hiring.  Many reasons.  However, one should have the confidence to lift themselves from something that is not fullfilling to their growth, and realize that they deserve better.

Actually it is a lot less than it used to be. I am 58 and I remember segregation and white people talking about Negroes and "colored people" in a derogatory way. Today a lot of those same groups of people have black friends or work with black people and there is a lot less of that than there used to be. Yes, there are people, usually of a lower socioeconomic class who are still acting that way because they see educated black people getting better jobs than they do and don't want to admit it is because that person is smarter and better educated and they want to bring them below them so they have someone to look down on. They don't want to admit that the problem is themselves.

u know its suprising but, its not the wealthy ones but the ones who are rich from before that dont really respect money that much, while those who face hardships and earn money and are now rich that respect money and understand its worth. Thats why the donate to the needy cause they know what it means.

Because they ARE snobby little bitches. I used to be one myself. But seriously, I think it's a little bit of insecurity masquerading as aloofness. When you hit 30, you're just plain fabulous and don't need to act snobbish.

i think that the youth in old times were wiser and in better shape beacause, they didnt have electronics and the mall , they worked and studied harder because they didnt have as many disractions!

I've known stubborn set-in-their-ways people who were 7-years old.  I've known enthusiastic, open-minded, ready to learn and take on new challenges people in their 90s.  My guess is that people are who they are and the years just pile on after that, and it's who they are deep down that will see them open to change or not.\n\nBut my opinion isn't written in stone.  I'm open to changing it.\n\n;)

A couple of things.  One, welfare.  At first it helped people get on their feet.  Then it became a handout.  Two, divorce.  With visitation and living in two homes, neither parent is there to teach the kids to work.  Three, affluence.  Our kids have way too much.  Most of them think money comes from parents, not from work.  Four, morals.  Since we can't talk about morals, moral people are on their own.  Pride for work well done doesn't mean very much. Americans want it done quickly and cheaply and that's it.  Five, entitlement.  Especially with kids.  Somehow the older generation has handed them the idea that they somehow deserve things without having to do anything for it.

Generally people can’t get satisfied with what they got...\nSo they feel what has gone was better than the present

People are more greedy nowadays, and many have less of a work ethic. The American Dream isn't different, it's the things involved with the American Dream. Back then, the American Dream was too pretty much work hard and earn yourself a good living. Nowadays many people have a less work ethic, and the American Dream isn't too hard to achieve if you have some kind of special talent (Sports, music, etc.) You can also achieve the American Dream nowadays by becoming a good counterfeiter or becoming one of the main men in the drug trade. People have developed less of a work ethic and it shows. Thats how.

What is old to you is not to them. Some of it is priceless.\nWhen you get older you begin to value certain things more than when your young.

It will forever be this way. The way it was 30 yrs. from now, it will be in another 10. Because the youths are the results of the fuckups of the previous generations. It's a vicious cycle that never ends. Some of it's true some of it is hyped media bulls&*t. Get used to it. But know that there is plenty fact there. Youths are stupid a lot of times. They're immature listen to stupid music, are materialistic and they're just kids. I was once that way too. The fact remains, it's based on truth.

Their status. Back in the 20's they were hard labourers and look down on because they weren't white.\n\nNow you see them on TV as actors, politicians. They are the intellectuals that do the math and analysis behind the scenes in a lot of big companies. They still work hard, but the majority of them have gone from blue collar to white. \n\nEducation is paramount in their lives whereas in the 20's it was really about escaping poverty in China and just working to get somewhere in life.

Youths are still learning.  It is important to learn as much as you can about your world while you are still young enough to have an open mind.  I don't think you need to worry.  I think you will find the youths of your country are patriotic and that the time spent was not wasted, rather it was time learning.  There are great things ahead for all of us and I can tell you in my generation as we are all about to turn 40, now we can see some of our peers doing some really interesting things.  20s you learn, 30s you have babies, 40 you make the world a better place - there is time enough for everything.

I think there have always been shallow, materialistic people.  However, with more toys and gadgets to covet with each passing day, they "need" more things all the time and appear to be more shallow.  That said, I can't imagine a more shallow, self-conscious decade than the '80's.  Hmmm...a Republican, saber-rattling president in the White House...coincidence?  I think not.

Being there 50 years ago & being here now I would have to say that the thinking of young people is very different today.  Back then, right & wrong were matters of concience & everbody had one of those. Many young people today don't seem to have a conscience. That is, young people seem very wrapped up in their own personal comfort & care very little about how others feel.  I notice this in the way I'm treated by most young people who don't know me.  They don't know me, therefore they can be rude.  In the same way, many young people do things like shoplift for example, because they don't care who will take the fall when product is missing or the register is short. It just wasn't like that 50 years ago.  I know young people who cheat at everything; school, sports, work etc.. They have told me often that it's ok to cheat as long as you get away with it.\nIn all fairness to young people, this same question could have been asked 50 years ago & the answers would probably be the same.\nI hope the next 50 take us in a better direction.
