6. The most effective way to understand contemporary culture is to analyze the trends of it youth.
keys: contemporary culture trends of its youth
A. The youth of society are full of passion and vitality.Lacking a steadfast conviction in tradition, they easily accept, understand and develop new concepts. Analysis of youth trends is crucial to understand contemporary progressive culture.
B.Yet our society is not composed of youth alone.We must carefully consider new contributions of all adults to contemporary culture as well. The more mature generations dominate fields of politics, economics, culture and even entertainment. By example and education, they also lead younger generations. A preclusion of adult influence would ignore the lion's share of understanding any culture.
C. Naturally, a cross-sectional study of age groups would best represent a contemporary, integrated, diverse culture. But culture, and the evolution of culture, cannot be defined by age alone.

Cross-sectional studies (also known as Cross-sectional analysis) form a class of research methods that involve observation of some subset of a population of items all at the same time, in which, groups can be compared at different ages with respect of independent variables, such as IQ and memory. The fundamental difference between cross-sectional and longitudinal studies is that cross-sectional studies take place at a single point in time and that a longitudinal study involves a series of measurements taken over a period of time.
ReplyDeleteLion's Share is an expression that has come to mean the larger of two amounts, or more often, the largest of several amounts.
ReplyDeleteThe saying derives from one of Aesop's fables, where the term is actually defined as the complete amount (all of it).
In the fable, a lion, fox, jackal and wolf go hunting, successfully killing a deer. It is divided into four parts with the lion taking the first quarter because he is king of the beasts, the second quarter because he is the arbiter of which animals get what portions of the deer, the third quarter because of his help in catching the deer, and the fourth quarter for his superior strength.
In some variants of the fable, the lion only takes three-quarters of the deer and lets the other animals fight over the remaining quarter.
