for 'the next generation', I am not an educator but I can see (some of) their identity is still in the progress of construction. Some choose to follow the elders and the 'experienced' while others choose to experiment and be adventurous.
some of the newer generation are spitting onto the ground every 15 seconds ( & some of them have been here forever, spitting as a social gesture) in order to fit into the concept of being cool. and believe it or not, spitting onto the ground at 15-second-intervals is the only and the best option for them for the time being unless, and until the next cool & hip thing come into their awareness. at least they are hanging onto each other for the spitting and mutual identification and i am always so amazed after they left they left behind a puddle of water almost.
after all, some of these youth just want to be seen be heard and be noticed by 'slightly' breaking the social norms. there is this huge world waiting to be explored by them, by them alone and they are in no position to listen to some elders telling them what is right or wrong, good or bad. For me, this is the NEW GENERATION. the new rebels.
