57.New Asian Generation p.388

 
    In the past, the children of Asia had very few choices. A son would usually follow in his father's
footsteps and do the same kind of job as his father. But now, young people have higher education which
opens doors to new kinds of jobs. TV exposes kids to new ideas from other countries.
    So, the younger generations of Asians are doing things their parents never dreamed of. They're investing
in stocks or dying their hair purple. Unfortunately, some are also getting into trouble with sex and drugs.
