Stream_of_Life

Stream of Life Buck’s uses the term “stream of life ” to portray her view of society today as getting started after adolescents and that youths in today’s society feel left out and can therefore not relate to the various situations or lifestyles that adults deal with every day. Personally I believe that it is very difficult for adolescents to understand or relate to the different situations in which adults are faced with. That is why I feel that adolescents are left out of today’s “stream of life” to a certain degree. Stream of life, the way Buck views it, is the functioning of a society and the way that society runs smoothly. Buck does not believe in adolescence, but rather that youths should become part of society or better citizens at an earlier age. “If I were mayor of a town, I would see to it that even first graders know that they are citizens, and that, as citizens they have duties.”(p.397, Buck). Is that true though' Should a 6 or a 7 year old be taught about the duties of society at such a young age' Some may disagree, making the arguments that there are better society, stream, life, about, buck, parents, out, adults, way, should, better, son, relate, left, adolescents, youths, youth, world, works, very, understand, today’s, situations, never, know, feel, duties, citizens, believe, adult, able, university, time, though, therefore
