Young people nowadays do not give enough time to helping their communities.
Since the end of last century, a lot of criticism about the young generation has diffused throughout the world. Till now, those young people have been labeled as selfish, apathetic and lazy. Particularly, the youth are tepid in their participation in community activities. However, such a presumptuous judgment neglects the simultaneous change of human society, and deliberately covers the contributions made by the young.
Decades ago, frequent exchanges within one community were significantly in need so as to ensure the quality of people’s daily life. The youth, regarded as the most energetic group, therefore, should take more responsibilities to contribute to the whole community. Whereas, time has changed, with the boom of service industry and the great development of artificial intelligence, people have became more autonomic—we are not like people before who needed much physical help from their neighbors. For example, before, the old in one community might need young people to take care of their daily life. But recently, we have more service agencies to look after the old. Staffs there are well educated and have rich professional knowledge about how to take account of the aged.
