A young guy in 2008 was awarded a Pride of Britian Award for Outstanding Bravery after he jumped infront of a 100mph train to save a complete strangers life.
"Even though an express train was hurtling towards him at 100mph, teenager Carl Duval didn't think twice about saving a complete stranger who had fallen onto a railway line."Negative thing about youth today:
"A young woman and man have been found guilty of beating a gay man to death in London's Trafalgar Square - a brutal reminder that despite steps towards equality, homophobic violence remains a very real threat."
Positive thing about youth in the past:
In the past many young men were made to go out to war such as the Falklands War and World War Two. These young men stepped up to save their country and help others, which was extremely brave of them.
Negative thing about youth in the past:
Youth began to rebel in the 1960's against things they did not think was right, some protests were peaceful but some protests were not quite at all.
" [...] some came into confrontation with the police especially when anti-Vietnam demonstrations turned into physical conflict. Many students went on strike or took over their own universities demanding a say in how they were run. The high point of the youth revolt came in 1969 with the Woodstock Festival – a massive 3-day rock event that attracted over 500,000 young people. Youth revolt carried on until the end of the Vietnam War when it split into diverse groups. Traces of hippy ideas can be seen in the environmental movement today. "
