3. Soma kwa makini habari ifuatayo kisha jibu maswali yanayofuata:

Kwa kweli maisha ya vijana wa kisasa yanatofautiana sana na yale ya wazee wao. Sio katika mavazi, lugha, mienendo, mitazamo au mawazo tu bali pia katika mambo mengine mengi. Yote haya ni vielelezo vya jinsi kizazi cha leo kinavyoishi katika ulimwengu ambao ni kivuli tu cha vizazi vilivyotangulia. Baadhi ya watu wameieleza hali hii kuwa maisha sio jiwe. Kwao si ajabu katu kuwaona vijana wakiwa na mitindo mipya ya maisha yao. Kama vile, wakizungumza lugha yao ya kipekee au wakivaa nguo zinazobana ajabu na kudhihirisha bayana maungo yao badala ya kuyasitiri.

Watu wengi hufikiri kwamba maasi ya vijana wa leo yanayotokana na mambo lukuki, kama vile vishawishi, tamaa, kutaka maisha ya mkato na kupenda vitu vikubwa zaidi ya uwezo wao. Upande huu umetoa rai kwamba kizazi hiki kisingelipotoka kama tu kingezingatia na kustahi utamaduni wa wahenga wao ambao wazazi wao ndimo walimokulia. Wanazidi kufafanua kuwa nyendo hizi za miaka ya nyuma zilithamini sana amali kama uaminifu, heshima kwa wazee ama wakuu, kukinai, bidii, ushirikiano, ukarimu, unyenyekevu, hadhari katika kila jambo, utiifu na pia kujitegemea. Mambo haya yote yamesahaulika ama yamepuuzwa katika utamaduni wa kisasa.

Swali lililopo ni je tunapaswa kuwahukumu vijana wa leo kwa kutumia vigezo au masharti gani? Tuwapime kwa mujibu wa hali ya duniani ya leo ama kwa mujibu wa jinsi maisha ya baba na babu zao yalivyokuwa. Jibu la swali hili ni gumu na sharti lifafanuliwe kwa makini ili lisije likaegemea upande wowote.

Ni jambo lisilopingika kuwa maisha ni utaratibu unaoathirika na hivyo hubadilika daima. Kwa kweli maendeleo ya elimu, sayansi na hata mawasiliano yameyageuza maisha ya siku hizi. Mathalan leo inawezekana vijana wa barani Afrika wakaona na hata kuzungumza na wenzao kutoka Uropa, Asia na Marekani wakiwa nyumbani kwao. Athari za filamu, video, vitabu, magazeti au majarida haikadiriki. Mambo hayo kwa kiasi yamewafanya vijana hata kupevuka kabla ya wakati wao. Isitoshe yameweza kuwazuzua na kuwaaminisha kuwa yale wanayojifunza ni kweli. Matokeo yake yamekuwa ni wao kuudharau utamaduni wao wa asili na kuvutiwa na ule wa kigeni.

Hivyo wazazi wana wajibu mkubwa wa kuwaongoza na kuwasaidia vijana ili kuwa na uwezo wa kujitambua na kufanya maamuzi mwafaka katika maisha yao.
