Young people are really self-centred It is quite often stated, specially by elderly, that today’s young people care less towards others than past generations. However, is it true or is it just a feeling every generation achieve when they reach the old age? It is true that youth spend countless hours in front of techonogical devices, such as laptops, mobile phones, ipods, etc…And it might seem to some old people they are cmpletely self-centred, since they spend so much time on their own without even noticing the rest of the humanity. On the other hand, some studies argue that there hasen’t been any other young generation who has done so much coluntary work than today’s. This studies describe them as caring and compasive. Despite all the technological entertainment existing nowadays, or maybe thanks to it, there are more NOGs lead by youth than ever. In addition to this, social media allows youth to comunnicate among themand enables then to organize different demostrations and create websites , with no other aim than caring for others. Let’s take as and example the 15M movemente settled in Madrid or the thousands of blogs which just aim to support many differentiatiate groups, such as: transgenders, homosexuals, racial groups… In my opinion, today’s youth is the same mixture of good and bad characteristics as always, but probably nowadays with the media we are more awared of the bad news and we have los a bit of the perspective.
