to health centers to get regular health check , they take vitamin pills, etc.
Many people say they don't have enough time for exercise. How would you reply
to that?
Well, honestly speaking, I think this is just one of those millions of excuses. I mean
you can always make sometime for exercise if you really want it. for example, …
as long as you want, you can always budget and prioritize your time to make it
happen.

In general, what kinds of people do children and teenagers want to be similar to
when they grow up?
Well I think if you ask girls, perhaps many of them would like to become a
superstar on a stage or in a movie. So they get all the fancy dresses and snapshots.

However, if you ask boys, I think many of them would say they want to become a
car racer, or pilot or other jobs that sound very challenging and dangerous.
Can you explain how the use of movie stars in advertisements influences (young)
people?

wrong.

example for young people? E.g. smoking.

They are fictional characters from animation or movies, for example, many

responsibility”

models.

Generation gaps, poor communication
Generational Differences / Changes
In general, how do you think the current generation of young people in your
country (e.g., born after 1990) is different to previous generations?
Difference No.1 is individuality, in my country in particular, due to the prevailing
collectivism, people who were born before 1990 do show strong individuality.
However, with the empowerment from media and technology this generation is
more willing to show and keep their individuality.
Difference No.2 is their role model.

Would you say these differences are a positive development?

Diversity
Do you think children (or, young people) are happier than those in the past?
but I think with more pressures they can enjoy more pleasures.
Do you think it's easier today for children to learn new things?
Due to peer pressures, they want to learn.
They have access to all the resources they need to learn.
Has role of parents changed, compared to the past?
Change No.1 is the way they communicate with their children (power balance)
Change No.2 is the role of parents. Role models, facilitators, educators,
