Valenian Volume 60 Valparaiso High School 2727 N. Campbell Street Valparaiso, Indiana 46383 200 years ago the fore- fathers of the United States put down the ideals and the- es providing the basis of ment for this nation, ' concepts outlined in various historical documents were admirable ones. They provided not only a solid foundation for government but a common sense way of life for the American citizen as well. But 200 years is a long time. Many of these excellent ideals have been overlooked in the face of growth and pro- gress. It’s time for a re-evalua- tion. It’s time for Americans to slow down for a minute and ask themselves what has meaning and what is trivial; what is just and what is un- just. It’s time for a moment of INTROSPECTION. Opening — 1

+ Values It was hard to believe that even random selection could have come up with such a diversified group as the four participants in this inter- view: an agnostic, an atheist, a de- vout Catholic, and a Catholic who rarely attends church. Their opinions were as varied as their backgrounds, and it was interesting to see how their answers backed up (or ques- tioned) the statistics in the box on page three. Question One: The stu- dents felt that the youth of today are more liberal, more willing to get involved in causes than their parents were. One student said, “Every child wants something different from his parents. Someday our kids will pro- bably think we’re pretty conservative, too.” Although they felt there was no longer a stigma attached to not hav- ing a college education, all four stu- dents included it in their list of immediate goals. They named hap- piness, an adequate amount of money, and -good relationships with others as long-term objectives. Ques- tion Two: Explaining why they agreed that religion was less of an influence, the students said that kids today have an option — they don’t have to participate in religion if they don’t want to.” Although they didn’t all believe in God, all four felt that everyone should be exposed to reli- gion at some time in his life. The group’s atheist had this to say: “Voltaire said that if we didn’t have a God we ' d have to invent one, which means there’s no way to explain things other than saying somebody created them.” Question Three: The group tended to disagree with the majority on this question, saying that they were all from famil- ies which were becoming closer as time passed. One girl said that per- haps some families were drifting apart because parents can’t understand some of the things their children are believing and doing.” All four felt they had open relation- ships with their parents and were able to discuss decisions, although some didn’t “take to confiding in them. Question Four: The money situation and a tendency of Ameri- cans to be cold to one another were reasons the students named for the lack of trust they felt exists today. They added that they felt parents tended to be more apprehen- sive about strangers while teenagers were more skeptical of advertising and the media. One student said, “You hear so much about false ad- vertising and malpractice, etc. — it’s really a dog-eat-dog world.”
