I did not see a breakdown of the 18 to 38 group by age. It looks to me like the earlier half of this group biased the results with their usual penchant for radicalism, pie-in-the-sky solutions and the anxieties of youth. Add 10 to 15 years to that group and you will probably see much greater acceptance of such things as patriotism, work ethics and belief in God. The realities of life have a way of shaping the soul and the mind with age and experience. Then too, women in their early years want to have fun (as do men) and to pursue "self-fulfillment" and not be encumbered with children, but a bit later and after marriage or a long-term relationship, they suddenly want all the things of homelife and children, which is a natural thing to happen.

One might question the motives of the people that put this study together. The trials and fears of youth and early adulthood have not changed very much in my opinion. Their moral strength may well have lessened, though. There has been a sexual revolution, I am told, but it obviously passed me by! LOL!

Thanks for the comment. I am reminded of the ancient writings by both Sophocles and Cicero on the vagaries of the youth of their times. You would think they were writing about today! The more things change the more they are the same! (en Francais: plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose)

Manning, in speaking of man's nature, you reassert the wisdom that God gave to Solomon, the third and last king of united Israel, who reigned from c. 971 to c. 931 B.C.: "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9)

Thank you Zemirah! Knowledge from the past can be quite relevant today. We just need to dig it out as you have done.
