It is no secret that today's youth culture is formed through an
intricate network of social and environmental factors. From the
music subculture to professional athletics Wholesale Jerseys China , to brandlifestyle
marketing, kids are getting message about what is "cool" and
how they are supposed to act. Unfortunately the vast majority of
these "influencers" are negative and the effects are seen
throughout our society. Attempting to change this flow of culture
is a monumental task and is effectively impossible through force
or just discipline. The only way to effectively change anything is
from the inside out. Kids must first believe it really is "cool" to be
drug-free, positive and productive members of society. They
must desire positive goals and actually want to be a good person.
So how do can we make this happen? How do we change an
entire culture?

Well I am certainly not suggesting that it can happen overnight,
but like with any change it starts small, builds momentum and
when a critical mass is achieved, major change can then happen
in a very short period of time. When I got out of college I moved
to Sweden for 3 months. I loved the country and the people Wholesale Jerseys , but
one of the things that stays with me today was the culture.
Young people in their early 20's took cabs, they didn't drive
drunk. It was somehow engrained in them that to drive drunk
was shameful, and if someone even attempted it, they would
stop himher collectively. They also frowned on drug use. It was
amazing to listen to these 20-somethings (I was 26 at the time)
brand drug-users as losers and the lowest in society. At a house
party they would wear slacks and nice shirts, it was mandatory
to take off your shoes entering any house. Sweden wasn't perfect
of course, but the culture had somehow bred a generation of
youth that had many things right.

Back to the US Cheap Majestic MLB Jerseys , today's youth seem to glorify drug use, accept
drunk-driving and look at anything eccentric as "cool". Why? The
answer is simple, they are being fed these images and lifestyles
daily via the main cultural "influencers". Musicians, Actors,
Actresses, Athletes and other visible persona's are seen living
lifestyles that glamorize all the things we want kids to avoid. So
the answer is Cheap MLB Jerseys China Wholesale , find some major "influencers" who live right, get
them in front of kids and start glorifying how "cool" it is to live
drug-free. How "cool" it is to set positive goals, to give back, to
make a positive impact on the world. So we ask the question,
who do kids look up to? And then we MUST get as many of those
role-models in front of their eyes on TV, in print Cheap MLB Jerseys Online , and as much as
possible in person to create a positive effect.
Kids are actually more impressionable that we realize, and they
will respond just as powerfully to positive stimuli as they do to
the negative. The problem is overwhelm, they are overwhelmed
with the negative, and we sit back and let it happen.
Think of ways you can create positive influences in your
community. Organize a football camp with a pro football player.
Get some former athletes with big names in your local area to
come to a kids camp. Find some local musicians that promote a
positive message and get them to your local street fairs and
festivals. Think of all the ways you can fight back by sending
positive messages and images to kids glorifying a positive
attitude and goal-setting.

I hope this short article will inspire even a few parents who have
the resources to make an impact. Get these positive role-models
on TV, in the news, in magazines and bring them to your events
or school in person. It may be the only chance we have to start
changing the cultural climate and effect positive change for this
generation and the next.
