10 Problems that Young Generations are Facing in the Globalisation Era

        Who is young generation? Young generation are the people whose age between 13 years old to 25 years old which will be the future leaders for their own countries. Young generation should lead a happy yet lack of trouble life in their age now. BUT, there is a "but", "happy yet troubleless life" is just an illusion because there are a lot of problems facing by the young generation in this globalization era. Here are 10 problems that had been discussed and faced by young generation like me.

1. Life without internet
Can you imagine your life without wi-fi in house,without data for your smart phone or cannot update your status on Facebook when you are going out with friends or family? It is hard to imagine for the young generation nowadays. Internet is very useful and powerful. Young generation can search the information from A to Z by click the mouse or simply "google". For this technology advance era, some of the university lecturers will use online teaching instead of physical class. So, life without internet really will make young generation feel suffer and interrupt their daily life.



2. Accidentally met ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend
It is very awkward to meet their ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend accidentally for young generation. For example, if they study at the same school or campus, have the same course and same subject after they break up in a bad way, is it very awkward for them? So, the solution that I want to suggest is please bear with it, be more open-minded and choose the time that will not meet her/him to campus. The last suggestion is please change your course or campus that will never ever same with them!

3. Friendship problems
Friends issue is the issue that cannot be ignored and very emphasised by youngsters. Friends can be everything in their life when they are still young. Youngsters will tell everything or listen to the advices of their friends in solving something whether it is correct or wrong. So, if there is a trouble occurring within new generation’s friendship, it can be a big problem for them. For example, the neglect and forget from a friend will hurt the feeling of a youngster instead of simply anger and disappointed. So, new generation need to choose friends wisely, be more open-minded and patient when solving friendship problems.

4. Socialization problem
Nowadays, a lot of new generations prefer to stay indoors and has few social contacts with people. They seldom interact and communicate with people but like to do some online activity such as online video games, online chatting and online shopping. Therefore, new generation normally will lack of interpersonal communicative skills which is very important for them in their future career. “First” me individualism is also one of the reasons that cause the socialization problem within new generation. So, new generation need to move outdoor and interact more with people, socializing and improve their interpersonal skill for their own good.


5. Easy to be "tempted"
 There are a lot of temptations surrounding the new generation. For examples, drug addiction, smoking,drinking, sexual relationship and luxury shopping. Drug addiction and smoking had became a serious issue in new generation that is worried by the public. New generation who will become out future leader had been brainwashed by some movies or advertisement that smoking is a cool action which can relieve their tension in life. Some of them easy to be allured by the luxury accessories like LV purse, Chanel dress or Burberry handbag which are very costly for them who is jobless. Therefore, new generation need to be educated by a correct attitude and mindset to resist overwhelm temptations.

6. Lack of knowledge for the things that happened all over the world
New generation lose the information and knowledge that had happened around the world. You can try to ask the youngsters now around that who will read the newspaper even when their home bought newspaper monthly. The answer will make you shocked because most of them are not reading it to gain the information. Even when they are reading, they only concern about entertainment and sports instead of social problems. So, parents should encourage their children to spend a little time to read newspaper or e-news for getting some latest information since they are young.

7. Appearance troubles
"Am I fat?", "My pimples!"...These are some examples of the words that new generation often say it in daily life. New generation very concerned about their appearance either their body shape or skin condition. They will buy cosmetic products and slim down medicine to maintain their body in a perfect condition. Because they are lack of confident so they will find for a perfect look although they need to spend  lot of money. 

8. Do well in academic result
 New generation nowadays need to keep their grade up in order to get what they want in life. For example, parents will give great offer to their kids if they get excellent result like buy what the kids want and bring them go to the place they like it. However, not every single new generation is capable to get straight As in all examinations. So,doing well in academic examinations is also one of the problems that faced by new generation nowadays.

9. a sense of hopelessness : where am I going?
When new generation come to a corner to choose their course or life after they graduate from secondary school or university, they will feel hopeless and wonder where should they go. This is very normal among new generation. They will confuse and blur for what they want to choose for their future. Therefore, new generation ought to think about what should they do and do not do before they graduate besides planning for their coming future.

10. unhealthy lifestyle
New generation lead an unhealthy lifestyle by wake up early in the morning but sleep very late at night. They are picky in eating by not have vegetable and fruit but like to have fast food and fried food for their meals. Although they knew it is harmful but they just cannot control themselves to do it. So, we need to have a healthy life habit since we are young to prevent the illness for the coming year.
