The next generation of people

The next generation of Singaporeans are not comparable to the previous generations, in terms of moral values, determination, and mindset of the world. Many adults think this way as they look at their offspring, the people that are bound to replace them. Why do so many people think this way about the new generation?

The simple answer to this question is that the times have changed. Many things, such as the way we live our life has changed a lot in the recent few years due to the rapid and inevitable advance of technology. Compared to 30-50 years ago, it is now much easier to do many things, such as moving from one place to another, doing daily chores, or accessing information. For example, in the past one would have to go to a library and read through thick books to look for the information they require, the process taking one to two hours usually. However, nowadays, one simply has to turn on their desktop/ laptop, access the internet with the click of a button and bam! All the info they require is available on the screen, saving much time and allowing for convenience.

This also means that people do not have to work as much to get what they want, as many chores(laundry, transportation, etc.) nowadays are easily done with little to no effort at all. This will cause many people to become much more lazy as they feel that everything should be easy and convenient for them, changing their mindset as well. Thus, the change in times in a large factor in why the new generation is seen to be more lazy.
