Do you think that the youth and young adults of today are a lot more materialistic than they were years ago?
They need to have the latest and the greatest.
Many young girls demand designer handbags.
They live their lives in debt and try and "keep up with the Jones's."
What do you think?
Youth.....Do you see and feel the pressure?

yes. they don't care about being themselves. they'd rather keep up with the latest trends and be 'in' than finding out who they really are. it is my belief that people are getting dumber every year because of this

I'm a youth (17) and I see the pressure, although I don't always personally feel it. When different brands or items pop up and become popular, I have often observed how little time it takes for a big chunk of people to quickly get the same thing. Usually it's a clothing brand name that is popular...a few years ago it was all about "Roxy", "Song" and "Butter", and now you never see those brands on kids anymore...now they're onto their "Old Navy" and "American Eagle"...it really is all about keeping up with the Jones's for a lot of people by always having the newest iPod, or whatever it might be. Basically, most of us are way more materialistic all the time. I probably fit into the materialistic category quite a bit too, but I try to keep things in perspective and remember what's really important.

this may well be a different yet exciting question. we do and we don’t. we omit a number of the greater effective programming they did such because of the fact the hot international Order attitude interior the commencing up or the magnificent bouts featuring Rey Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Benoit. besides the undeniable fact that, we don't omit the disaster of the enterprise that we observed interior the later years. WCW ran its direction and finally died because of the fact it grew to become into poorly controlled. If the enterprise have been ran greater effective shall we o.k. be observing WCW programming now rather of WWE.

I think that the youth of today are like that because the Parents are/were like that...we set the examples, so I would not make them totally responsible.
I am surprised how many feel they are entitled to OTHER peoples material things... I'm not talking about sharing...I'm talking about taking.
Merry Christmas!!!
