Youth in society

Each age group in the society has is its own role in many different ways. They are often considered to represent the future of the society as they bring new ideas and energy. The environment in which they are living is very different to that which was experienced by their parents. As a result many of the traditional values and cultural behavior are being challenged by the influence of other cultures, particularly those in the west. Therefore, it can be seen that there are competing ways of life that exist which may be considered either a choice or a cause of confusion for young people. Young people are the future of upcoming world.

They are different from nature, their attitude, for our parents and our elders they are different. However, in order to make the progress that is sought for India to become a developed country, young people need to be motivated in directions that will achieve that goal.

The pace and patterns of youth social media and smartphone use and activity are fluid and ever-evolving. We need the help of education and youth development researchers to document both supportive and harmful social media and smartphone practices, and what facilitates positive experiences. This insight is critical for parents, educators, counselors, and physicians alike to develop more nuanced, balanced strategies to promote healthy behavior and use.

As with all technological advances, there are both negative and positive consequences to social media and smartphones. And with the march of technology, there is also no turning back or hiding from these new ‘ways of being.’ To be sure, caution, vigilance, and ground-rules are needed. Yet reacting to social media and smartphones primarily with anxiety and an urge to control access is short-sighted. We must recognize and encourage positive uses as well.
