- The former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has voiced worries about how insulated American youth are becoming. He thinks that the country may be producing a generation of weak individuals if young people are overindulged.
- According to Schwarzenegger, a strong character can only be developed through struggle, setbacks, and diligence. He thinks society is overly concerned with protecting children from their fears and is too attentive to their needs.
- Schwarzenegger believes that if the younger generation learns to embrace pain, suffering, and discomfort, they will be able to develop more and be stronger in life. He makes the case that it is not about feeling nice or comfortable by drawing comparisons between first-generation Americans’ achievements with those of people who slept in or out.
- According to Schwarzenegger, the successes of first-generation Americans are a result of their peers’ tenacity and perseverance. He exhorts the younger generation to keep working hard and not “overbaby” them because it has contributed to the greatness of the nation.
- While he recognizes the need of showing consideration, he cautions against over-babying the children.
