The saying ‘Change is the only constant’ may have become a tired platitude but there is no doubt that we see change as something that will and must happen. Countless motivational books and speakers tell us to embrace change and even encourage us to actively make changes in our lives, extolling the one dimensional proposition that all change, no matter for what purpose it is made, has its virtue. Contrary to the simplistic assertions of motivational books and speakers, change is multi-dimensional: it can sometimes be wonderful, yet sometimes troubling.

One change in individuals that is troubling to many is the decline in character of young people. It is true – and must be conceded – that in many ways our lives and our world, and even ourselves, are very different from our forefathers. Still, from one generation to the next, many perennially lament that the young – especially teenagers – are ignorant, ungrateful and self-obsessed: they lament that young people today do not understand the struggles of people in the past, that they take for granted the privileged life many of them have, and that they are preoccupied with their own lives. More controversially, these young people are perceived to claim entitlement to all the desirable things in life without having to do anything to earn them.

This change in young people is projected in so many observable ways. There is a growing lack of deference to legitimate authority: disobeying parents, defying teachers, and being unwilling to follow organisational rules. There is also a worrying loss of respect for the elderly: the experience and wise counsel of grandparents are ignored, and the ideas of any older person are regarded as belonging to the Stone Age or even further back. In their arrogance, today’s youth have granted themselves superiority in intelligence and experience, and the right to be ill-mannered. Their sense of ‘superiority’ may enable them to achieve many things the previous generations could not but will not prepare them for the monumental challenges of the future.
