The Danger Faced by Generation Y

Generation Y is generally born between 1980 - 1995.

This was a period of rapid change. A change so fast majority of those within this generation (mainly those born at the early 1980s) faces being anomie where technology connects people together. This connection brings exchanges of knowledge, culture etc at a pace so fast that they face a sense of loss of self. It's the general feeling of insecurity, a sense of being controlled. This rise of individualisation in fact

Trends

1.) An increase in underage drinking and drug abuse.
2.) Baby-boomers(Parents) being Helicopter Parents.
3.) Rise in consumerism and materialism.

Helicopter Parents act as safety nets to prevent their children from receiving harm and failure. This may seem to be what a parent should do, but in fact it prevents them from reaching independence - meaning a reliance on parents even through later life. Confucius once said that the role of the parent is to let their children gain independence asap to their benefit. If they do not make mistakes early in life, they will not be wiser and be able to use mistakes to their benefit.

This gives more importance to bureacracy and one day we will be consumed by it as we become dehumanized.

I wonder what would happen during a major crisis(natural, unnatural etc) when gen Y are at helm in the society.

Just my 2 cents. I can see it is not quite convincing.
