Reading Part 5:
It would seem from looking at current media that the younger generation are achieving less well than they should and that they often display a worrying lack of direction, manifested at its worst in a variety of social problems. These problems seem to have infiltrated even the most economically privileged sectors of the population, affecting young people who, on the face of things, have been granted the best of life’s chances.

Accounts of children being deprived of their childhood and growing up too fast, or the dangers of promoting materialism to young people abound in the media.

Q: What view of young people is promoted in the media?

• They want to live an adult life before they are mentally ready.

• They are unaware of the opportunities provided for them.

• They are unable to appreciate the value of money.

• They fail to demonstrate a sense of purpose.
