The?Changing?Generation

[A]?It?turns?out?today's?teenagers?aren't?so?scary?after?all.?Results?of?USA?WEEKEND'S?Teens&?Parents?survey?reveal?a?generation?of?young?people?who?get?along?well?with?their?parents?and?approve?of?the?way?they're?being?raised.?They?think?of?their?parents?with?affection?and?respect.?They?speak?with?Mom?or?Dad?when?they?have?a?problem.?Most?feel?that?their?parents?understand?them,?and?they?believe?their?family?is?the?No. 1?priority?in?their?parents,?lives.?Many?even?think?their?parents?are?cool!?Although?more?than?a?third?have?an?object?in?their?rooms?they?would?like?to?keep?secret?from?their?parents,?rarely?is?it?anything?more?alarming?than?a?diary?or?off-color?(低俗的)?book?or?CD.

[B]?Such?results?may?seem?surprising?against?the?background?of?shocking?incidents?that?color?the?way?the?mass?media?portray?the?young.?In?October?2000, ,?the?same?month?the?survey?was?taken,?the?Washington-based?Center?for?Media?and?Public?Affairs?wrote?in?its?publication?Media?Monitor?that,?in?a?recent?month?of?TV?news?coverage?of?American?youth,?just?2%?of?teens?were?shown?at?home,?and?just?1%?were?portrayed?in?a?work?setting.?In?contrast,?the?criminal

justice?system?accounted?for?nearly?one?out?of?every?five?visual?backgrounds.?No?wonder?parents?worry?their?own?kids?might?spin?out?of?control?once?they?hit?the?turbulent?waters?of?adolescence.

[C]?The?overall?facts?ought?to?reassure?us.?The?survey?shows?us?that?today's?teens?are?affectionate,?sensible?and?far?happier?than?the?angry?and?tortured?souls?that?have?been?painted?for?us?by?stereotypes.?From?other?sources,?we?also?know?teenage?crime,?drug?abuse?and?premarital?sex?are?in?general?decline.?We,?of?course,?need?to?pay?attention?to?young?stars?who?are?filled?with?discontent?and?hostility,?but?we?should?not?allow?these?extreme?cases?to?distort?our?view?of?most?young?people.

[D]?My?own?research?at?the?Stanford?Center?on?Adolescence?uses?in-depth?interviews?with?small?samples?of?youngsters?rather?than?large-scale?surveys.?Still,?in?my?studies?and?others?I?have?read,?I?find?the?same?patterns?as?in?USA?WEEKEND'S?survey.?Today's?teenagers?admire?their?parents?and?welcome?parental?guidance?about?important?matters?such?as?career?choice—though?certainly?not?Mom?and?Dad's?advice?on?matters?of?personal?taste,?such?as?music?or?fashion.?When?we?ask?teens?to?choose?a?hero，they?usually?select?an?older?family?member?rather?than?a?remote?public?figure.?Most?teens?say?they?enjoy?the?company?of?both?parents?and?friends.

[E]?Contrary?to?some?stereotypes,?most?adolescents?believe?they?must?be?tolerant?of?differences?among?individuals?(though?they?do?not?always?find?this?easy?in?the?cliquish?(拉幫結(jié)派的)?environment?of?high?school).?Many?of?them?volunteer?for?community?service?with?disadvantaged?people.?One?prevalent?quality?we?have?found?in?teens,?statements?about?themselves,?their?friends?and?their?families?is?a?strikingly?positive?emotional?tone.?By?and?large,?these?are?very?nice?kids,?and?as?the?band?The?Who?used?to?sing, "The?kids?are?alright."

[F]?How?much?is?today's?spirit?of?harmony?a?change?from?our?more?turbulent?past??A?mere?generation?ago,?parent-child?relations?were?described?as?"the?generation?gap".?Yet?even?then?reports?of?widespread?youth?rebellion?were?overdone:?Most?kids?in?the?'60s?and?70s?shared?their?parents,?basic?values.?Still,?it?is?true?that?American?families?are?growing?closer?at?the?dawn?of?this?new?millennium?(千年).?Perhaps?there?is?less?to?fight?about,?with?the?country?in?a?period?of?tranquility?and?the?dangers?of?drug?abuse?and?other?unwholesome?behavior?well?known.Perhaps?in?the?face?of?impersonal?and?intimidating?globalization,?a?young?person's?family?feels?more?like?a?friendly?haven?than?an?oppressive?trap.?And?perhaps?parents?are?acting?more?like?parents?than?in?the?recent?past.?Within?just?the?past?five?years,?I?have?noticed?parents?returning?to?a?belief?that?teenagers?need?the?guidance?of?elders?rather?than?the?liberal, "anything?goes"?mode?of?child-rearing?that?became?popular?in?the?second?half?of?the?20thcentury.

[G]?But?missing?from?all?these?data?is?the?sense?that?today's?young?care?very?much?about?their?country,?about?the?broader?civic?and?political?environment,?or?about?the?future?of?their?society.They?seem?to?be?turning?inward—generally?in?a?pro-social?manner,?certainly?with?positive?benefits?for?intimate?relationships,?but?too?often?at?the?expense?of?a?connection?with?the?present?and?future?world?beyond,?including?the?society?they?will?one?day?inherit.

[H]?Recently,?we?examined?more?than?400?essays?on?the?"laws?of?life"?that?teens?from?two?communities?had?written?as?part?of?an?educational?program?initiated?by?the?John?Templet?on?Foundation?in?Radnor,?Pa.?In?those?essays,?and?in?follow-up?interviews?with?a?few?of?the?teenagers,?we?found?lots?of?insight,?positive?feeling?and?inspirational?thinking.?But?we?also?found?little?interest?in?civic?life?beyond?the?tight?circles?of?their?family?and?immediate?friends.

[I]?For?example,?only?one?boy?said?he?would?like?to?be?president?when?he?grows?up.?When?I?was?in?high?school,?dozens?in?my?class?alone?would?have?answered?differently.?In?fact,?other?recent?studies?have?found?there?has?never?been?a?time?in?American?history?when?so?small?a?proportion?of?young?people?have?sought?or?accepted?leadership?roles?in?local?civic?organizations.?It?is?also?troubling?that?voting?rates?among?our?youngest?eligible?voters—18-?to24-year-olds—are?way?down:?Little?more?than?one?in?four?now?go?to?the?polls,?even?in?national?elections,?compared?with?almost?twice?that?many?when?18-year-olds?were?first?given?the?vote.

[J]?In?our?interviews,?many?students?viewed?politics?with?suspicion?and?distaste. "?Most?politicians?are?kind?of?crooked?(不誠實的)"?one?student?declared.?Another,?discussing?national?politics,?said, “I?feel?like?one?person?can't?do?that?much,?and?I?get?the?impression?most?people?don't?think?a?group?of?people?can?do?that?much."?Asked?what?they?would?like?to?change?in?the?world,?the?students?mentioned?only?personal?concerns?such?as?slowing?down?the?pace?of?life,gaining?good?friends,?becoming?more?spiritual,?becoming?either?more?materially?successful?or?less?materially?oriented?(depending?on?the?student's?values),?and?being?more?respectful?of?the?Earth,?animals?and?other?people.?One?boy?said, "I'd?rather?be?concentrating?on?artistic?efforts?than?saving?the?world?or?something."

[K]?It?is?fine?and?healthy?for?teens?to?cultivate?their?personal?interests,?and?it?is?good?news?when?young?people?enjoy?harmonious?relations?with?their?family?and?friends.?But?there?is?also?a?place?in?a?young?life?for?noble?purposes?that?include?a?dedication?to?the?broader?society,?a?love?of?country?and?an?aspiration?to?make?their?own?leadership?contributions.

[L]?In?the?past,?the?young?have?eagerly?participated?in?national?service?and?civic?affairs,?often?with?lots?of?energy?and?idealism.?If?this?is?not?happening?today,?we?should?ask?why.?Our?society?needs?the?full?participation?of?its?younger?citizens?if?it?is?to?continue?to?thrive.?We?know?the?promise?is?there—this?is?a?well-grounded,?talented,?warm-hearted?group?of?youngsters.?We?have?everything?to?gain?by?encouraging?them?to?explore?the?world?beyond?their?immediate?experience?and?to?prepare?themselves?for?their?turn?at?shaping?that?world.

36.?Not?many?young?people?eligible?for?voting?are?interested?in?local?or?national?elections?these?days.

37.?Parents?are?concerned?that?their?children?may?get?involved?in?criminal?offences?once?they?reach?their?teens.

38.?Even?during?the?turbulent?years?of?last?century,?youth?rebellion?was?often?exaggerated?in?the?media.

39.?Teenagers?of?today?often?turn?to?their?parents?for?advice?on?such?important?matters?as?career?choice.

40.?The?incidence?of?teenage?crime?and?misbehavior?is?decreasing?nowadays.

41.?Young?people?should?have?lofty?ideals?in?life?and?strive?to?be?leaders.

42.?Some?young?people?like?to?keep?something?to?themselves?and?don't?want?their?parents?to?know?about?it.

43.?It?is?beneficial?to?encourage?young?people?to?explore?the?broader?world?and?get?ready?to?make?it?a?better?place.

44.?Many?teenagers?now?offer?to?render?service?to?the?needy.

45.?Interviews?with?students?find?many?of?them?are?only?concerned?about?personal?matters.
