As Americans We Need Better Values: The Younger Generation Has It!

What I love about the younger generation is that have values that many of the older Americans struggle to earn. For example, younger people believe in certain principles and they want to make the world a better place. Older Americans also want to make the world a better place but have gotten into their routines and failed to change with the times. One generation and their old crusty arguments are blocking the new generation.

Values are important and that is the one thing we can pass on from generation to generation. Each one will have their own problems. For example, the eras of the past were the fall of the Soviet Union, September 11th, Iraq and Afghan wars etc. Prior to that it was Vietnam. Before that it was WWII. Our current generation faces systemic issues that limit their human capital, Capital Riot type extremism and the need to compete in an era of hyper partisanship. 

For the most part we are doing the right thing when it comes to creating a stronger economic platform. That is needed to achieve our goals and allow us a good shot at bumping our system upward. We are not doing the right thing when it comes to applying our laws fairly and justly. There is also an attempt to grow the system and balance the budget but politics gets in the way. There is misalignment between could and done.

What I like about this generation is they are freer than prior generations and they are really highly skilled and capable. We as a nation let them down because we didn't put ourselves in the best place we can to give them the highest opportunities on the global market. We are working on it now, but we are behind the ball. That comes from poor leadership on both sides. That is not specific to who is or isn't a leader right now. It was decades in the making. 

This is the generation with the chance to revise. Older generations are still working off of the sins of the past and can't correct them to help this generation in a way in which they truly can compete at their best. They are a diverse group and they want to create and have opportunities. That won't happen unless we treat each of theme as special and part of the whole. It makes no difference their race or religion. Those were the arguments for the worst of us. This is a generation that I believe will redirect us toward our loftier national goals and encourage momentum toward a universal and free democracy (Our next stage of national development that is much more global aligned).
