With the coming of age of the new generation, there is increasing risk of the dangers of the youth liberal mind playing out. This mindset entail many things, some of which I believe are dangerous to Armenian society and the Armenian state. For example, there is the liberal, Western notion of "multiculturalism" is a dangerous concept to our fragile demographics. One must just look at some countries in Europe to see the failed policy of multiculturalism that even the leader of Germany has admitted to. It also lessens patriotism which I think is very important in our country especially in the youth. There's the notion also with this mindset of the fact that all ideas and lifestyle, how crazy they maybe, society has a duty to accept them and accept everyone. This can yield to dangerous results, for example, the increase of youth that are fascinated with the occult and other black magic - and there actually have been cases and I have seen such people in Armenia. This is literally "satanic behaviour" and it cannot be tolerated. There is also the flawed opinion that there is justice in the world, that all problems stem from one source, and/or the commercialised democracy is the best form for any society, no matter what. In essence, they miss the grey spots in human society and take a non-analytical approach that can be dangerous. There is also this arrogant notion of independence that is anti-family in nature and spawns feelings of "rebellion" in favour of individualism. Our culture which is based on family values thus is naturally attacked by such a mindset. There comes with this a thinking that tradition and culture are "primitive" and "backwards" in comparison with the commercialised ideals they are fed by Western sources. Instead, we need to take in the constructive and positive Western and even liberal ideals, but in doing so we have to make sure our society, culture, and mindset is not in conflict with them and is maintained. This strong liberal mindset that can often take hold of the youth is not healthy for our society and in some cases can be dangerous especially when it lessens respect for the family and patriotism toward the state and people.
