Today’s youth and their attitude sometimes surprise me.
On one
hand I find the youth very promising and innovative, on other hand I sometimes
find them callous, selfish and indifferent attitude.
One
such incident I would like to share here happened recently at the therapy
clinic where I take my daughter. A child was made to stand using wall as
support. The therapist who was handling her, instead of paying attention to the
child diverted her mind from the child and the child fell down. Even the
mother, who is usually attentive, was distracted for a split of second when the
child fell. The child shaken from the incident was consoled by the said
therapist asking for forgiveness. At the same time another therapist, a young
girl in early twenties who had joined recently told the other one “Why are you so
worried if the child fell down?”
I
could feel my blood boiling. How can anyone say like that? What if that child
had got hurt badly? How can anyone be so careless, so callous??
The
child had just missed hitting her head on a stool kept there. What if she had
hit her head on the stool and got injured???
The
western culture is catching up amongst them. They demand privacy in early days and
start confronting over simple otherwise avoidable matters. They prefer no
strings sex which is unimaginable for us.
The
youth today is less tolerant and sometimes it turns out to be good. We all are
aware of the recent rape case to which majority of people who raised their
voices, were youth. End-result, the release of strict laws in no time and
punishment to the accused.
If
those qualities are channelized well they will only do wonders for the society.
I find today’s youth super confident, very realistic, and highly enthusiastic.
They just want to get started with their career upon completing studies. Highly
career-oriented but less patience, want to make quick money in short period of
time.
They
use their intelligence in creating frauds, hacking etc instead of channelizing
the energy in doing something useful for themselves and country. Wish they realize
this and bring in a change.
Too good!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent write up, but their are underlying forces under the negatives, first the population and the competition is the fiercest, My Dad started his career at 27 and I at 27 am already planning an early retirement so, I am planning big bucks after working for the past seven years. The exposure, internet, has made the world small and national and cultural boundaries are blurring, most of them are better bred than the earlier generation and are sometimes the only child, they are spoilt by the former generation (parents) and are not at all empathetic, when they face the real world after their dreamy home school and college world they burn out like crazy, the schools these days not only shun corporal punishment but actually take teachers with a strong manner if they scold two kids who are behaving indecently, syllabuses made easy, no one to correct, pampered wrongly, the youth need to have a strong inbuilt morality or they are gone forever
