| AAAGH ! The Generation 90s is coming! Wearing earphones,using complicated Net language and constantly text messaging friends,the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut. Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s profile. Earphones These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Cen-90s. They might lead to MP3,MP4 or MP101 players,giving these young people a plugged-in,cool and perhaps self-indulgent look. Of course, life is not always music to the ears. Martian Language They have created their own code-like online language. It's a mixture of English,Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation,though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers. Self-portrait Saying " cheese" to their own digital cameras is routine for this generation. A little bit of narcissismc (自恋) never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives. But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online. Text-messaging They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that respects efficiency. Nevertheless,oral communication is important and will never go out of style. |

| "It hurts me more than you. "and " This is for your own good. "-these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin,clean my room,stay home and do homework. That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They thought that it was all right to be parents who took a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators,tumed on the television,left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation. Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we've made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students-" so passive"-and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them. She believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children's passivity (被动性) . "We're talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying 'go and look it up' ,you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid. " Yes,it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It's time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away,to tum the TV off,to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again. |
