Великобритания и США: жизнь молодежи

Our youth is mostly similar to the youth abroad in many aspects of life. Numerous youth organizations have been formed since the Second World War, uniting young people from all classes and sections of the population. In the USA exists a Young Republican Federation, Young Christian Association, some religious organizations for Jewish youth. Youth organization Green peace deals with the most urgent ecological problems of today’s world. It protests against nuclear weapon test, sea and soil pollution, etc.
Sport clubs are characteristic youth organizations in the US and the UK. They unite people, who are interested in baseball, football, basketball, golf; etc. You can attend any club: from theatre clubs to bird-watching clubs. Bird-watching clubs are very popular, especially in Great Britain.
And at the age of 14 children have regular part-time job to earn some pocket money. Some young people work in their church organizations. They help elderly people or work in hospital.

There are even some groups, where young people help released prisoners to start their life anew. Youth and youth movement over decades have become important factors in the life of both countries.

Великобритания и США: жизнь молодежи

Во многом наша молодежь очень похожа на молодежь за границей. Многочисленные молодежные организации сформировались после Второй мировой войны, объединяя молодых людей всех классов и слоев населения. В США существуют федеральные молодежные объединения республиканцев, христианские молодежные ассоциации, религиозные организации для еврейской молодежи. Молодежная организация «Гринпис» занимается самыми насущными экологическими проблемами современного мира.

Она протестует против испытаний ядерного оружия, загрязнения моря и почвы и т. п.
Характерными для Англии и США молодежными организациями являются спортивные клубы. Они объединяют людей, которые интересуются бейсболом, футболом, баскетболом, гольфом. Можно посещать любой клуб: от театрального до клуба наблюдения за птицами. Клубы наблюдения за птицами сейчас очень популярны, особенно в Англии.
В возрасте 14 лет каждый подросток уже занят постоянной работой на часть ставки, чтобы иметь деньги на карманные расходы» Некоторое молодые люди работают в церковных организациях. Они помогают престарелым или работают в больницах. Существуют даже группы, где молодые люди помогают вышедшим из тюрьмы заключенным начать новую жизнь. Молодежь и молодежное движение в последние годы стали важными факторами в жизни обеих стран.
