Maturity

[Slavoj Zizek's Balls]

I'd like to ask you all about something to do with current affairs and then predict how it may change if a revolution occurred.

When you were in your teenage years (let us say age 15/16/17) or right now in your teenage years, how mature were/are your friends and people in your age group?

If you answer with "immature" then do you think this would change after the revolution?

The demands of life determine maturity. What would revolution have to do with this per se?

[Slavoj Zizek's Balls]

Revolution brings about a change in mindset. I'll draw up some of my observations. My age group fumble in the dark, latching on to media stereotypes and are concerned with anything but exams, even if they revise privately it isn't a socially acceptable event during free time. They prefer to harm each other whilst taking it in their stride and they prefer to adopt a lifestyle somewhat lacking in mutual respect. This alienates people who have a different, more mature mindset.

EDIT: The above sounds extreme, it isn't in the sense that they physically harm each other or flog people who revise in the open, its just that people are not mature enough to understand a mutually beneficial relationship and still carry the high school mentality of being slightly disruptive in class or lacking the intelligence to actually question what the teacher says or have discussions with other pupils.

Does this make more sense now?

How would this change after a revolution and has anyone else observed this?

I'm a teen now, and I'd say we're mostly immature, but with some odd moments of real intelligence and insight.

I'm studying at an educational institution that has enacted policies that ensure a "safe and productive learning environment". The behavior you describe is grounds for expulsion.
