Do young people nowadays give enough time to helping their communities? As it is known to all, it is crucial for everyone who is engaged in the community to devote themselves to the development of the whole community. However, recently there is some dissent as to whether young people nowadays spend enough time helping their communities or not. Some people believe that they have already given a lot of time to the communities and done a good job, whereas others contend that the time that they have spent is far from enough. From my point of view, I think they do not give enough time to helping their communities. First of all, most young people are busy with their daily work and just do not have enough time. They usually have to occupy themselves with their work for the whole week. For example, in China, recently there is a new word called nine-nine-six, which is used to describe a job which requires people to work from nine o'clock a.m. to nine o'clock p.m., six days per week. As a matter of fact, this kind of job is usually common in Chinese young people, especially for those who work in a technology company like Alibaba. Supposed young people have already devoted themselves to their jobs, how can they have enough time to help the community? Moreover, a lot of young people actually are lacking in the sense of volunteering. When they finally have enough free time. Many people would prefer staying at home, chatting with friends, playing video games, or watching TV series. They would rather spend time on some entertainment to relax rather than make some efforts to help others. You know, helping communities would not lead to a considerable payment. So it is nearly impossible for individualists, who account for a large proportion in modern society, to give their time to the community. To sum up, I think the time that young people have spent on helping society is far from enough. Not only because are they occupied with their work and do not have enough time, but because they are lacking in such a sense of volunteering. In order to make a big contribution to the community, they still have a long way to go.

Do young people nowadays give enough time to helping out in their communities?

As it is known to all, it is crucial for everyone who is engaged/involved (a member of) in the community to devote themselves to the development of the whole community. However, recently there is some dissent/disagreement/debate as to whether young people nowadays spend enough time helping out in their communities or not. Some people believe that they have already given a lot of time to the communities and done a good job, whereas others contend/argue/disagree that the time that they have spent is far from enough. From my point of view, I think they do not give enough time to helping out their communities.

First of all, most young people are busy with their daily work and just do not have enough time. They usually have to occupy themselves with their work for the whole week (are busy the entire week with their work). For example, in China, recently there is a new word called expression nine-nine-six, which is used to describe a job which requires people to work from nine o'clock a.m. to nine o'clock p.m., six days per week. As a matter of fact, this kind of job is usually common for Chinese young people, especially for those who work in a technology company like Alibaba. Supposed Young people have already devoted themselves to their jobs, so how are they supposed to can they have enough time to help in the community?

Moreover, a lot of young people actually are lacking in the sense of volunteering a sense of volunteerism. When they finally have enough some free time, most people would prefer to stay staying at home, chatting with friends, playing video games, or watching a TV series. They would rather spend time relaxing with on some entertainment to relax rather than make some efforts an effort to help others. You know, Helping communities would not lead to a considerable payment.(unsure what you wish to say - They don't see the benefit to helping out in their communities.)
So it is nearly impossible for individuals, who account for a large proportion/portion of in modern society, to give their time to the community.

To sum up/summarize, I think the time that young people have spent on helping society is far from enough. Not only because they are occupied/busy/burdened with their work and do not have enough time (are time starved), but because they lack a sense of volunteerism are lacking the sense of in such a sense of volunteering. In order to make a big/significant contribution to the community, they still have a long way to go.

Very thoughtful writing ShangKun! I enjoyed reading your thoughts. We say this generation is self-absorbed or entitled... they mostly think of themselves and their own interests. I have 4 older children, I speak from experience! haha
