Often we laminate about the state of affairs of the youth of today, that they are going downhill, with corrupt behavior, rudeness, lack of aim, lack of ambition, unwilling to work etc. In the USA in Arizona there's been issues with new rules regarding immigration and people being able to essentially be harassed at official's choosing. Given the state of affairs you'd think teenagers wouldn't care about it.

Not the case though. A few weeks ago my sister, and a family friend went to see Despicable Me at the theatres. The other movie being shown was the Expendables. Which features a guest spot by Arnold Schwarzenegger who as we all know is an immigrant. SO! To my point, a group of teenagers roughly about 15 of them walk out of the theatre as both movies let out the same time conversing about the immigration policies and how hypocritical they find his stance and statements that he has so far issued. I was surprised, and I'm glad I was.

Not all hope is lost. There are still teenagers and young adults who know where they're going, how they're going to get there and what they want to do. It makes me happy, it goes to show that critical thinking is not dead and that people can be honestly reflective. Its a hope, its a thread of something. If only more would flock to it, and be apart of it.
