So the young adults of today are going to be the leaders of tomorrow? Well generally speaking the young men of today in particular are not in good shape. Multiple surveys have shown that Millennials reject traditional Canadian values more than any other generation that has come before them by a very wide margin.
They are selfish, rude, arrogant, boastful, proud, disrespectful, ungrateful, undisciplined, slothful and completely obsessed with themselves. In fact, one study found that they are the most narcissistic generation in our history. They feel entitled to everything, but they don’t want to work for it. They want to be treated like kings and queens, but they don’t see a problem with treating others like dirt. Of course there are plenty of young adults that are shining exceptions, but in general young adults under the age of 30 in Canada today are a complete mess.
Millennials could still become the greatest generation that we have ever seen in all of our history, but they will never get there if they stay on the path that they are currently on.
In the end, life is all about choices, and as a nation we have been making the wrong choices for a very long time. The young adults of today could choose to be the generation that starts making better choices, and let us hope that a great awakening is just around the corner.
