I’ve recently noticed just how much the older generations comment on ‘young people’s’ desire to say something about absolutely everything, and I’ve realized that it’s true. When you’re deep in conversation with an older person, they will easily listen to you with no participation until invitation, or when there is a prompt for them to say something. When two younger kids are speaking, the conversation constantly goes back and forth, no matter what dialogue you’re having; younger people have an incessant need to interrupt sentances so that the other can know exactly what our opinion is on every subject.
I believe it’s because we’ve been raised in a society that encourages such behavior. When you go on Facebook, you almost feel obligated to comment on someone’s new photograph of themselves, or to add a ‘Like’ icon to the status of a friend. Exactly 120 seconds ago, Selena Gomez posted some ditty about her new CD: over 100 comments, over 420 likes. Something’s wrong.
