Our current heroes.
'Old time was better' is a common phrase used for a lot of old people when they talk about things that have changed. I am not an old person but I can say that I've lived the birth of 'Millennials' -young people who have lived connected to technology.
When I was a young -and for older generations-, it was very common to have a hero or an exemplary person. He or she could be our father, mother, a close relative or a public person. Parent or family were the main source of inspiration for us but sometimes public people could be, as well. When I am talking about 'public person' in old times I mean to police men, professors, firefighters, doctors, and so on, someone who made good actions toward the society.
Many things have changed and nowadays, parents and close relatives need to work all day. Exemplary people have a bad salary, their job are boring or they have a bad reputation -this happens in Mexico. Even today, Millennials need to have a hero but who can be a good exemplary? Internet and Media have the solution: artists and singers.
Currently, the majority of 'Millennials' dream of being as their favorite artists, people who have a life with excesses such as alcohol, drugs, and media scandals. I think that kings of people are not the best example for young people. In this situation, I say the same phrase said for old people 'Old time was better.'

Currently, the majority of 'millennials' dream of being like as their favorite artists, people who have a life with excesses such as alcohol, drugs, and media scandals. I think that these kinds of people are not the best example (or, role models) for young people. In this situation, I say the same phrase said by for old people 'the old days were time was better.'
