Now and Then

Reflection: 

  • Many things are the same, just now in the 2010’s, we have more developed and evolved more.
  • People now a days are more health conscious now a days.
  • A privilege I have today that my aunt did not back in the 80’s is that I am able to have parents who give me freedom of speech and I have parents who understand adolescence more. Back in the day I feel like parents were seen as “elders” and teens weren’t able to have arguments and debates with their parents. Now I feel like parents and their children are closer.
  • I don’t think adolescence in the 80’s have any privileges or rights that adolescence today don’t have. I think this is because people are smarter with how they raise their children and teens push their parents boundaries more and end up getting away withmore.
  • I would 100% rather have grown up in the 50’s 60’s 70’s or 80’s. I feel like it was a more simpler time. I don’t like how technology rules the world now a days and how people interact together. I would love it if we could have a combination of both the 80’s and 2010’s. Some aspects of the 2010’s are great! I love how health conscious we have become and how we are more aware of our surrounding and how we must take care of the planet we live on.
