When I read the article "The Go-Nowhere Generation" I agreed with it. I do not think that many young adults in our generation are traveling far from their birth homes. I think that this is happening because of the bad economy. Young adults are observing the economic struggles their parents are having and are learning that in order to get money they need to work hard and keep whatever job they get because there are not a lot of jobs left. I also think young adults like the security that their parents offer. Young adults may think that if they ever get in big financial trouble then they could turn to their parents for help and support. When the economy is negative, it is a very stressful time for the society because the people are having problems paying for important things like bills and their mortgage. Also because of the increase in better technology, jobs and knowledge are becoming easier to get.
I think it is important for young adults to travel, because that helps them learn new lessons about different lands and people. Also, by traveling, young adults spread their knowledge of the world and life. By traveling young adults get to encounter new experiences. However, I understand why young adults would stay closer to home because it offers security and a familiar atmosphere. They know where jobs are at their homes and I think they believe that it would be easier to get a job at home because they know the people and the area. Better technology offers instant knowledge to people without them having to travel or move anywhere.
