Sayings For Wishing Well

Hiatus (De) Generation

There
youth who provides the eye with an officer observes the cannon fodder before a battle, or perhaps with an eye to a circus entrepreneur examines a bear in captivity before forcing him to dance ...

I'm very suspicious when we talk about generations. Perhaps as a very limited group, some large, well known, a minority, for some exceptional reason, related. And not even then.

wording in some dilapidated, a lazy journalist coined a cliché that has become successful and that many repeat like parrots. With an unusual assumption, some have taken as truth, as a sociological category, as reality. They talk about it because it is real, and it is real because people, media, talk about it. A tautology in any order.

The generation Ni-ni . A better way to criminalize the younger generation. One way of saying that young people today are not like before, but the world in ruins that are not exactly lay blame for his generation, but from that of the signal.

The Kids are all right , said the Who.

In economic wasteland as this, those who are unemployed and who do not come to the fore as "classes" antagonistic. The older employees, they look with alarm the young desperate. What better than to intuit useless, brutish and lazy, while stating that we are wasting a generation better prepared history.

Ready to what? The overqualified applicants for employment, education hide their CVs, while still being formed by the mere fact remain active. Universities are incubators of unemployed secondary schools with pretensions, artificial islands unconnected to reality. The

SERVEF forced march becomes an instrument of social control. More courses to train, create the illusion of training, so that the pathological unemployable, the overqualified, the human remnant "surplus" labor is not needed, not rebel, and take your time thinking about more than , question and angry. It creates the illusion of an exit a future in a way. A horizon is very similar to The pianola of Vonnegut.

Meanwhile, we present the laziness, vulgarity, apathy, as an invention of the new generation. as if no earlier, as if the family support that can effectively lead to abuse and escape from the reality of the children at the expense of their fathers, were also the only handle precarious situations thousand, accompanied by effective search a destination, a function of the future.

focus attention on a few cases, not significant, they forget to build a generation, they need something more. A spirit of the time, a general sense, that is not exactly as we sell it. Is this a marketing boldest psycho-social, but not without precedent: the perversity of the official versions of May 68, punk, grunge, creating the topic and the clichés that replaced the real youth riots.

As if there were exceptional young people (those not interested in showing, but I have known dozens, in the language courses in college), as if this new version of Generation X deserved indeed, it had won in fact, being out of play. The Princess Barrio lobby as "reverse" of youth. TV programmers and journalists from view, playing gods learners as creators of "sociological experiment" that aim not only to express something true about reality. Seek to supplant it, pretend to be real.

The Kids are all right. I just hope they already have enough dedidan to join their protests. Greece and Britain say the road. I rely on the hundreds of young intelligent, valid and sensible that have not yet left the country, despite the cruel caricatures.

not yet gone. But that does not mean that they will not do it ...
