The young generation certainly has not spent its childhood and adolescence in the 1970s-1980s. Although they have heard about that period from girls of the 80s who are now forty- or fifty year-old-mothers. The generation in which I spent my childhood and adolescence was definitely not a rebellious generation. Both the Bible and a Playboy magazine would never have been together on the desk. This generation does not dream of breaking social taboos because it has been released from taboos and therefore does not re-break taboos in order to achieve the right to choose. Since we have been free, we were able to choose and what we have chosen is to be "ordinariness”.
In order to have all what we want to have of the power, wealth and fame, we do not need to depend on the parameter of being "extraordinariness". Even the present dreams and hobbies of the youths in this generation are not the same of young girls and boys of the 80s.
However, if there is a similarity between our generation and the past generations, it is that we're all fighting against the generations before us.
We do not need the boring standards of the 80s to show our freedom. We live in freedom and what we want now is that the society's media center gives enough respect to this choice; to what we are.
