You are right, Ryan - there are more dangers in the ether than ever before especially to developing minds but we are not the first generation to look askance at some new 'teenage fad'. Elvis, The Beatles, hippies, Tetris, GameBoy, ad infinitum - parents of each generation had their moral battle to fight. So, take heart, we're all on an evolutionary journey where some things never change.
"It’s the early decades of a new century, and young adults are not particularly happy. Many believe that their parents’ generation is out of touch and stuck in their dated, anachronistic ways. The country and the world are changing fast, after all, and this older generation does not seem to want to keep up with the times. Many 20- and 30-somethings are thinking about striking out on their own, a risky move perhaps but one that will offer independence, freedom, and the opportunity to follow one’s own dreams. Heading west seems especially appealing, as folks in that part of the country seem more open-minded and willing to take chances in the hope of hitting it big.
"I could be talking about the 21st century, but it’s actually the 19th century. Young adults of that time—the first generation of non-native Americans to have been born in the new country—saw things very differently than their colonial era parents. Members of that older generation had likely emigrated to the colonies from England and, while they eventually fought for independence from that country, hadn’t totally rid themselves of their Old World attitudes and behavior. The younger generation was more progressive and adventurous than their Revolutionary War-era parents, and members of “Gen A” ultimately did strike out on their own to forge new paths that would become known as Manifest Destiny."
