The Spiritual Quest of Generation X
Description
Cultural values often encourage young people to aspire to high-paying, high-profile jobs-ones that ensure expensive houses, cars, clothes, and everything money can buy. Recently, however, a movement toward spiritual fulfillment has become evident among youth through their growing attraction to both traditional religions and nontraditional New Age sects, and even through such unlikely avenues as contemporary music. This program explores this movement away from the material, and examines the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of young people as they search for fulfillment, acceptance, and a deeper meaning to life.
