What should the youth do on the move
of society today? Discuss.

In the old days youth played a secondary role in the
society. They never assumed any responsibility. The
elders played all the important roles and the youth was
made legally responsible only after they attained the age
of twenty one. In many matters, the decision of the elders
was final.

Now time has changed things. The youth appear to be
revolting throughout the world. The youth used to follow
the occupation of the parent; they were subservient and
had to learn from the elders. However, with the spread of
education and diversification of jobs and the facility in
travel which takes people away, family ties get slackened.

When the youth are living with their parents under the
same roof, they are sharing the joys and sorrows with the
others in the family. Once the youth get away from home
they are not much attached to the home.

The youth today succumbs to various influences. In those
days it was the home and the school that influenced the
youth. Now there are forces like the newspapers, the radio
and the television, the magazines, the cinema and the
politicians. The youth rarely have any firm ideas. They
sway between extremes, for example, religious fanaticism
or various political ideologies.

The formal discipline to which their parents were subject to

is an anathema to the youth. As they want more direction,
they are in extreme disarray. The formal education that
they get does not guarantee them any jobs. Their ambition
is higher and what life and society can offer is
comparatively low. While many may resign to their fate,
some rise in revolt.

Youth, the cream of the society, must not be allowed to
move on the path of destruction. The home and the school
have a tremendous responsibility in shaping the character
of the youth. The youth need people to advise them, to
guide them and to show them the path of righteous, fruitful
and enjoyable activities. The correct directions given to the
youth can help them to be good and useful men of
tomorrow.
