Youth in Germany
What is it like, to be young in Germany today? Many kids and young adults seem to be without any perspective for their future. They are disillusioned and frustrated. But is it really that bad? I don't think so. Of course, in some cases things are worse and therefore I am going to have a look on some general problems of our generation in this essay. It may be that I am not always able to hide my very personal view of being young in Germany, but as I am a part of this generation it might be all right. To start off with a topic, adolescents of all generations and countries are confronted with I am going to talk of kids and their place in society. When kids are in puberty, they just don't know where they belong to. As even Britney Spears articulates young females' dilemma with singing "I'm not a girl, but not a woman yet" we can imagine that this is a quite central problem for young people (why else should Britney's song be that popular?). But maybe it is really harder for young people to find their place, today. Everybody has to be like everyone - unless s/he doesn't want to be an outsider. This starts with wearing "the right clothes" and goes on with other materialistic things. Unfortunately, this is no "Playstation-game" we stic
For most people it is enough to complain about things without doing anything against it. Many young people seem to live in a fictive world of computer games. There are much more topics we should be concerned of and people actually are. A very good example to make things clear is a personal experience I had this summer during the soccer world cup. We just want to be able to say that we like Germany. So I want to end with stating that I am glad to be young in Germany, because this country, in my eyes, offers young people more opportunities than most other countries do. As Germany's average age of population is getting older and older, young people have to fear the old-age pension. For sure, we can be satisfied with the society we are living in, but aren't there still things which are worth fighting for? Don't we have the obligation to speak for the people who are not able to? What is about the people in the so-called "Least Developed Countries"? We have to see to it that the globalization is established in a way which helps those countries in developing. That some of these young people don't get the difference between reality and fiction anymore turns out in massacres as we saw at a grammar school in Erfurt. As our parents are the kids of post-war Germany, our generation has been brought up in a very sensitive way, concerning Germany and nationalism. Who is paying for the old people in the end? The problem gets even worse when more and more people are without a job, as this is the actual trend because of the bad situation of the economy. I study Geography, English and Spanish for becoming a teacher and as I will be engaged by the state of Germany I am proud to educate the next generation. Team Germany made it up to the final and they made Germans feel that enthusiastic as no one could have believed.
