Learning Concept
We differ a lot from our views to our behavior. It’s just too bad that the older generation
sees this difference in a bad way. Have they forgotten that the youth now is the product of
what they themselves reared? - K.C. Ibañez, Ilocos Norte

Ang layo. The youth of yesteryears were more respectful of their elders. Kulang o wala
nang paggalang ang maraming kabataan ngayon. - C.B. Manalastas, Manila

The youth before were conservative and reserved. Today’s youth is strongly influenced by
new technology, becoming wild and having low morals. - Gigi Zulita, Zamboanga City

Today’s youth rarely holds values as character education, GMRC and Civics are no longer
taught. Inane TV shows, vapid celebrities and peers dictate “values.” - Dino
Monzon, Caloocan City
