VI.    CONCLUSION
Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt
for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love
chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter
the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company;
gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.2
