This essay/article is horrendously long. Like seriously. Anyway, my opinion on the article is that it is a very refreshing view of youths. More specifically youths in India. This article focuses on the fact that nowdays, Indian youths are a product of sociological changes wrought by eight years of economic liberalization in India. They are a proud mix of Indian values with western packaging. A result of internet and cable television.
As the article has mentioned, it is amazing to see how different the Indian youths are from their parents. They no longer care about politics and they like money. The primary ambition of most youths in India is to become rich by getting high paying jobs in the media industry.
I feel ashamed that Singaporean youths like me are not motivated like our counterparts in India. Maybe we are too comfortable in our small fantasy world that we are oblivious to the harsh reality. Maybe we should start taking our future more seriously and adopt a new and refreshing attitude.
Peace Out

YES, our youth here should be more motivated! :D
ReplyDeleteFaris you are not answering the question, no?
ReplyDeleteAlso, to say that Indian youths "no longer care about politics" is an absolute statement.
Perhaps Singaporean youths are not as motivated to "become rich by getting high-paying jobs in the media industry" because we do not as thriving an industry as India? It can be said that the media industry in Singapore operates through a conglomeration of corporations dominated primarily by Mediacorp?
What ARE Singaporean youths motivated by? Success in academia? Sports? The Arts? Or are they just motivated by the desire to prove themselves to the world?
