Why Youth Culture is the New American Dream
Adolescence is a new innovation. In almost all cultures throughout the history of the world, people went from being a kid to being an adult. The rise of youth culture happened in the 20th century and sparked the stage of life called adolescence.
Adolescence is becoming more and more celebrated in modern society, causing it to start at an earlier age and end at a later age. It is becoming the goal of life. More and more movies are coming out where the main character in a movie is a middle aged man with a wife and kids trying to escape so that he can re-engage in the crazy behavior of adolescence.
This has changed the entire idea of what it means to be mature, what the goal of life is, and it is something that we need to fight against. We can’t know who we are as human beings if we don’t mature and fulfil what God has intended for us.
