In a world where there is no longer a need for delayed gratification, we get to see lots of kids and young adults who ordinarily should be thinking about how to acquire knowledge that would be of use in solving future problems, trying to focus much of their attention in being able to make money so as to impress their friends and loved ones , or to oppress those who are not as "rich" as they are
This has got me thinking and I have to create this thread so we could all share our ideas on what we think is the best way forward .
From my own perspective and level of understanding, poverty is one of the leading cause of such clamour for such immediate gratification.
Children want to try as much as possible to get those things which their own parents could not afford to buy for them..
The economic situation of a country is also another factor, and if the government does not offer enough students support.
The problem now is that, once youths continue to think that making money is the only essence of living and do not develope themselves in other areas of life, it would be difficult to get a developed society heading towards the right direction.
