What troubles young people the most?
:: A NEW SURVEY from California - home to 1 in 8 of the nation´s youth - provides a startling answer. What does this young generation view as "the most pressing issue facing your generation in the world today"? Racism, environmental problems, the war in Iraq?
They are longing for a harmonious home with mom and dad at the dinner table. Almost 90 percent of survey respondents expect to get married or enter into a life partnership and have children themselves. The survey "California Dreamers" assessed the hopes and fears of young people ages 16-22. Three-fifths of respondents were minorities, and ½ were immigrants or children of immigrants.
"California Dreamers" gives another surprise. Almost ¾ of the young people questioned said that religion and spirituality are important to them. "California Dreamers" summarizes its findings this way: "The poll reveals a deep yearning among 16- to 22-year-olds for traditional structures - marriage, parenthood [and] religion."
REFLECTION The Survey California Dreamers is not a European or Swedish survey, but I do think the world today is so global so that the youngsters are in same thoughts. Dreams and visions wherever they live. Praise the Lord for the young people and their dreams and visions! What issue most concerns young people today?
