Un po’ lungo, ma ne vale la pena, ricco di osservazioni. Probabilmente la nostra societa’ (europea, italiana) ha qualche anticorpo in piu’ – ma basta guardarsi un po’ in giro per vedere che sono veramente rari.<\/p>\n
“Many of today\u2019s young adults seem temperamentally unprepared for the circumstances in which they now find themselves. Jean Twenge, an associate professor of psychology at San Diego State University, has carefully compared the attitudes of today\u2019s young adults to those of previous generations when they were the same age. Using national survey data, she\u2019s found that to an unprecedented degree, people who graduated from high school in the 2000s dislike the idea of work for work\u2019s sake, and expect jobs and career to be tailored to their interests and lifestyle. Yet they also have much higher material expectations than previous generations, and believe financial success is extremely important. \u201cThere\u2019s this idea that, \u2018Yeah, I don\u2019t want to work, but I\u2019m still going to get all the stuff I want,\u2019\u201d Twenge told me. \u201cIt\u2019s a generation in which every kid has been told, \u2018You can be anything you want. You\u2019re special.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
