As one looks at life styles and attitudes we are able to look no further then our adolescents and their displaying of behaviors. Society is developed and maintain by individual behaviors. As history has indicated in the past changes can either assist in a cultures present or causing stagnation and slow death. This is true of today’s life styles for our adolescents, are taking greater risk and with higher potential for violence towards themselves as well as to others. As a society we the adults have become numb or indifferent to the events that are becoming almost everyday events, such as school shooting, and road rage. This increase in negative and destructive behavior by its citizens in the past has lead to a breakdown and rejection of a society. Looking at the increase in the aggressive behavior our adolescents are displaying the intent is for society to look at what can be done now to make changes for the future. What is it that adults, communities, education, and adolescence themselves can do in reducing hostility and developing an open and trusting relationship with one another. What steps can be taken now in hopes of insuring a better society for further youth.
