According
to A Pew Research Centre Study conducted in 2012 concerning attitudes of the
youth today, they concluded that: “young people today plan for the future in order to
influence outcomes they have confidence they can influence. Their belief in a
better future remains intact”.
I am certainly optimistic of the
youth today, as I believe the youth themselves are optimists. Today’s youth are
certainly optimists; they believe that positive change in the world is
feasible.
Let us consider Emma Watson, a young
actress of 24 years old. Shortly after graduating from college, she is named
the UN Woman Goodwill Ambassador, and presents a speech at the UN headquarters
concerning Feminism and gender. She launches the “HeForShe” Campaign, which encourages men and boys around the world to help end inequalities women
face worldwide on a daily basis. Emma Watson is optimistic that by launching
this campaign she can make a difference in the lives of millions of women, and
work towards her goal of ending gender inequality. She certainly believes that
change is feasible concerning the matter, and takes action in order to attain
positive results.
Emma Watson, an optimist, with the belief that the
equality of men and women in the world is attainable.
Secondly,
let us consider a study done by A Pew Research Centre in 2012 called “Young,Underemployed, and Optimistic”. This study was conducted after the Great
Recession, and observed young adults that consisted of youth as of 18 years of age.
The study observed that shortly after the Great Recession, and throughout the
very slow recovery, the youth had remained extremely optimistic and positive
concerning their financial futures. This is evident, as the young
adults explained that, although they do not have enough money in order to live
the life they wish to at the moment, they certainly believe that they will
achieve this money in their futures. They believe this goal is feasible, and
that the recovery of the recession will be achieved by taking necessary actions.
The same research company later redid this study, and 57% of the youth
explained that they believe they will attain their financial goals in the
future. Over 50% of the youth are optimistic concerning their finances, and are
expecting positive outcomes. They are optimistic that the economy, as well as
their own personal finances will improve, and success will be attained in the
future.
The youth are optimists; they believe that their
finances will improve over time by taking action, and working towards their
goals.
The youth in today’s society are evidently optimistic.
They believe that change is feasible, and that with effort is most certainly
attainable. I definitely believe the youth of today have a great deal of
positivity, and are working in hopes of a better future. Not only is Emma
Watson working towards creating a positive change in the world, but as stated
in the Pew Research Study, many youth are working towards improving their own
finances, and are very optimistic that they will be able to do so.
Without a doubt I am optimistic about today’s youth; the
youth demonstrate much optimism through their actions and their beliefs. They
are innovators, and seem to be working towards a positive future world.
