Youth and Culture G. Banks

"There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea and the music in its roar; I love not man the less, but Nature more."
Lord Byron

There are books that are directly related to childhood or teenage and the way young people have evolved in manners, habits and mentality through years. These books will provide tons of information that can show how the world has changed and what most young look in each period of time. Since 2000 young people live in a world where future is more and more uncertain of crisis and where everything is uncertain. Their consumptions habits have changed as technology was improved, their relationship between each other as well. But I didn’t choose a book that talks about how young live these darks times. I wanted to find something that was deeper and that can gathered all youngsters’ dreams.
As Lord Byron said there is periods where humans feel closer from Nature and acknowledge the relationships between human has changed during times and is no more sincere. There is time where escapism, freedom become more and more important and innocence is a gift. That is what a lot of young people are looking after.
Into the wild, book written by Jon Krakauer in 1996, depicts the two-year wilderness trek of Christopher McCandless in Alaska from 1990 to 1992. After graduating with very good grades from Emory University, McCandless ceased communicating with his family, gave his savings of $25,000 to Oxfam and began travelling. His trip lasted more than 100 days. Through this book and from this quotation of Byron Nelson the essay will try to analyse the problem young faced in the nineties in a contemporary and urbanized world and what could be the real reason for leaving as Christopher did. In the second part of the essay will deal with nature and the link that should exist with human.
