  • The good old days.....

    In the last decades, education and respect has takin a turn for the worst imo. Not so much in the sense of knowledge but more from a ''motivation'' point of view.
    It seems that more and more people get less and less motivated in young years. Playing and having fun always comes first. Lets compare education 40 years ago and that of today. It use to be a lot more strict, parents used to be more strict and a lot less attention was brought to teenagers by advertising and the media. Now the kids want this, the kids want that.
    It's like they rule the world now, stars are aimed at teenagers, silly hip gangster wannabes are aimed at teenagers, clothes, cars, looks and it's all a game of which will piss farther then the last. And more and more bums seem to be out there.
    In schools they try to make education more and more fun. Well I got news for you kid, life ain't only fun and games. And we can notice the change when these kids start working.
    I dont know if it's also because now you have to study for 25 years to get a decent job or else you wash dishes 40 hours a week....unless you start your own business. But even if you do, chances are you'll get eaten down by big corporations like Home depot and such. Notice that in the last 10 years, every small hardware store has disapeared.

    What's it going to be like in next 40 years if we compare the change we had in the last 40 years? Study for 50 years before you work? How will people be motivated to go to school if they know it will never end and on top of that having the media and advertising companies giving them ''support'' on how life is so hard for a kid? And who in there right mind would want to start a business unless they come up with some sure idea? (and probably because they studied for half a century....)

        IMO; kids are slaves to media because ppl are greedy, and therefore ppl become greedy and become bums, because schools take to long, and what we really need is one of those devices like on Matrix where you can download skills directly into your brain.

          What I mean is:

          Kids want everything now but dont want to give anything in return. But if they ever want to give something to get what they want, it takes 25 years of school or a gamble to start your own business without education. Imagine in 40 years. How can we compensate for this with the way we are heading now?

              But better. Easier to find a job, people WANTED to work, could keep a job for 25 years and climb up the corporate ladder. You dont see to many of these cases today. Either you study and climb or just sit there and roth in the same position.....

                      why do the older generation say the younger generation is going down the tubes.

                      I'm not saying he's wrong. What he's saying is true. But is this a bad thing? Perhaps our society has become so advanced we don't need to work as hard and study as hard. We can have computers and machines do it for us (and nerds to program these computers are always available).

                      change is inevitable, deal with it.

                          How? Except for the fact that cars were weak and the dash board targeted your forhead if you crashed. Less pollution, no STM, 90% less cancer......Please. And that's not even part of the thread topic.

                            I will deal with it....my question is, how will it change? How can we anticipate this?
