A little more than a century ago, many young men and women your age were getting married, having children, working full-time jobs, and even commanding naval ships (this actually happened in the 19th and early 20th centuries!). Do you think the expectations society has for young people today are too high, too low, or about right? Remember to explain your response with examples and explanations for why you think the way you do.

I think its just about right, some parnets expect too much of their children, so expect to little. This effects our society today.

Children should have high expectations so that they are better behaved, children should not be head of a naval ship or any important adult work because they are not mature enough, I think the low expectations of children and young adults is too low and that is why they are making so many bad decisions.

I think this society does have a tad bit to low of expectations. We should have some jobs that are good for young people like serving at fast food restaurants and cleaning jobs for businesses and hotels.But other than that no.We don't need to marry to early or be any naval commanders, we just need money and education!

I think expectations are to low for children. Kids need to be challenged to go out of there comfort zone. I children were challenged more they would get more out of there younger years.

I think it is a good amount of expectations. We are unable to do some things like work at a construction sight or factory but we can work at stores or restaurants if needed.

I think society has a good amount of expectations, but I also agree with Dorian in that their should be more jobs and opportunities open to young people. Adolescents entering adulthood should always be pushed to succeed and do their best, because adult life is a challenge to everyone and young people should be prepared to face it head on, but young adults should be able to take their time as well in important and life-changing matters such as marriage. This is why it is important for society to have jobs open for teens so that they can be exposed to the expectations of adult life and be prepared for when that time comes. Comments are closed.
