Thanks, any takeaway?It is.
I have to co-sign this statement.
I think a lot of ppl think like that if you arent doing anything inspiring in your life. There is so many great things going on in the world but if you look at TV and internet all day youll think everything is negative. Because thats most of what they show.
As a society, we are doing way better than we were in the 50s, they were doing way better than the 30s, they were doing way better than the 1850s, etc etc. This is the 200th Anniversay of the Star Spangled Banner, and that was a poem written by a guy who saw the White House get burned down.
So I never subscribe to all that "what is the world coming to" stuff because thats just a perspective. Things are going great for a lot of people out here, but they're not on IG or the news or whatever screaming about it from the mountaintop. The world is doing better than it ever has. Its just how you look at it.
Any concern over Generation Y? Sense of entitlement, want things given not earned. Reliance on technology. Hookup culture permeating the sanctity of relationships.I think a lot of ppl think like that if you arent doing anything inspiring in your life.

Theres a lot of a good points in there, this is something that I'm going to send over to my mom actually. Shes always making me watch videos like these, because from time to time "gets worried about the way I think" and how I view the world and people.Thanks, any takeaway?It is.

First off, don't scoff at differing perspectives. It makes you seem snobbish and close-minded. We can respectfully discuss and even disagree.@ hook up culture permeating the sanctity of relationships.
No, my friend. The reason why relationships are in shambles is because the way gender roles are transforming in America. A lot of people like to point at the marriage rate and say things like "Today's youth are not engaging in relationships and getting married" when that couldn't be more false. Look at how women's rights have changed just in the last 60 years. Women who traditionally would get married by 21 are now working on a degree during that time. Divorce allows women to leave relationships they aren't comfortable in, whereas 50 years ago that same woman would be vilified for leaving their husband and children. Dating multiple people is no longer seen as a promiscuous and dirty deed, but rather, healthy.
I could go on about wanting things given and not earned, or the sense of entitlement that we forgot we inherited from the baby boomers, but I won't.
Its simply a different world. The old rules shouldn't apply when the game changes.
Appreciate the honesty. Not everyone's cup of tea.couldnt go passed half of it...too cheesy
make your own world

The thing with a lot of these videos that bothers me is the amount of cliche topics that's been talked about a million times already, banal/no originality. Like, how many times do I have to hear about technology and disconnected youth.
