Generation of the Super Youth
Camat, Lyza Mae F.
III- Idealism

Generation of the Super Youth “To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.” – Confucious Making a difference is an overly intimidating statement due to the levels of responsibility and liability involved. Superheroes, politicians, businessmen and extraordinary people are typically what first come to mind. Personally, the difference I make may be as essential to society. However, the real question is -- how? As a junior student of one of the most prominent institutions in the Northern region of the Philippines, I can start from small things. But then, we go back to the question, how do we define "small things"? Small things to me mean starting from within. I may not be as extravagant as saving the world from alien invaders but I can start from self reflection. Knowing myself specifically my strengths and my weaknesses can greatly affect my vision of the world. Keeping a positive perception of life would make me strive to be a better person every day. For that, I can be a standard for optimism and joy to others. Particularly, being a role model for the lower years by studying hard with conviction, excellence, and confidence but importantly keeping my feet on the ground as a source of inspiration to my fellow students. I strongly believe that the family is the basic foundation of society and being a good child to my parents is necessary for being the successors of the world. No matter how overstated this cliché may be - parents know best, I still hold on to it. There is nothing more that they want for us than success in all our endeavours which require mental, social, emotional, and spiritual growth and maturity. As the youth struggle to be better people, a brighter future is up ahead. I may not be Captain

    The Dumbest Generation

    A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a group of people, in other words known as a stereotype. Stereotype, the word that was going through my mind when the read the article “Generation Text: The Dark Digital Ages: 13 to 17”. The article written by Mark Bauerlein really had me thinking about how someone could perceive our generation in such a stereotypical way, which basically lumped all of us, with our unique and contrasting ideologies together. After reading Bauerlein’s article he makes our generation sound like kids and young adults who would do anything to acquire social acceptance from our peers. My emotional response to Bauerlein’s essay was upsetting. He sounds oblivious just in the sense that he merely categorizes all kids in the generation [our generation] in a stereotypical manner. Not only does he…

    Ever since the advent of the modern digital culture, there have been some heated discussions on the topic of whether technology is a foe or a friend. Some people argue that it is influencing us negatively, scattering our attention and diffusing our concentration, while others believe otherwise, suggesting that it is making our lives more efficient and convenient. The emergence of such technology not only enhances some of our fundamental cognitive abilities, but also enables us to explore more of what is we are truly interested in.…

    They populate your neighborhoods, their thumbs spastically typing out two-way conversations, their friendships are quantifiable by Facebook, and they have never known a world without the Internet, cell phones and iPods. This mysterious social phenomenon is known as ‘Generation Z.’ Why is this generation so mysterious and different from other generations? What impact does this group of people have on society and why is it truly a social phenomenon? These are questions that social scientists have been examining and trying to solve, to reveal the true mystery that is Generation Z.…

    The Lost Generation

    The Lost Generation writers were separated from American society, not only in geographically, but also in their style of writing and subjects they chose to write about. These authors were shaped by World War I. They wrote about what they had experienced during the war, and some of them had even served time in the military themselves. Although they were unhappy with American culture, the writers were involved in changing their country's style of writing, from Victorian to modern. Writhers known as the Lost Generation included authors and artists such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson, Waldo Peirce, John Dos Passos, John Steinbeck, and Cole Porter.…

    Generation y: The present

    • 1426 Words

    A generation has no defined time limit. There have been generations from as little as ten years’ time span all the way up to thirty years apart. “Every generation revolts against its fathers and makes friends with its grandfathers,” the American writer Lewis Mumford once said. Kids have always gathered up at the feet of their grandparents to hear stories about war and the old technology. Yet when it comes to the stories of these children’s’ parents, it’s like convincing them to eat broccoli they want nothing to do with it. There are always extreme differences between parents’ generations and their children’s. For example, the Greatest Generation were the loyal patriots that fought in WWII; however their offspring, the Baby Boomers, protested war (Vietnam) and had civil rights and feminist movements. These differences between one another are inevitable and people always point out the flaws of each. Although many people criticize Generation Y for being high-maintenance workers they fail to recognize the advances made in technology, their impact on popular culture, and the work from these young guns that has been done to improve the environment.…

    I believe everyone can make a difference. I highly dislike when I hear my peers saying “I’m only one person, how can I do anything?” I think that’s what the problem is with some of my generation. Everyone thinks that they’re just one person and there’s just seven billion other ones out there who will do the work. They think “those other people won’t litter or they’ll recycle or finish the food that’s on their plate so I should’t have to.” Realizing this from an early age I was determined to go against what everyone seemed to be doing. Caring solely about themselves and how they look and if they have a Blackberry or not or how many likes they get on their Facebook pictures. Where was that going to get someone in life? Nowhere. Instead I decided I would invest my time in something useful. I always loved being outdoors and I developed a passion for the environment upon entering high school. So, what could I do that would make a difference in my life? I soon found my answer in tenth grade Advanced Science Research class.…
