What Ails Our Youth? is a provocative and insightful examination of the shifting moral and social landscape of the early 20th century. Written during a period of significant cultural transition following the First World War, George Albert Coe explores the perceived restlessness and skepticism of the younger generation. Rather than simply critiquing the behavior of youth, Coe turns a critical eye toward the institutions of education and religion, questioning whether they have failed to adapt to a rapidly changing world.
The work delves into the youth movement of the 1920s, analyzing the gap between traditional social structures and the emerging aspirations of young people. Coe argues that the tensions of the era are not merely a sign of generational rebellion, but a symptom of deeper systemic issues within modern civilization. He explores themes of social responsibility, intellectual honesty, and the necessity of a more dynamic approach to character building and vocational training.
This volume remains a significant historical document for readers interested in the sociology of education, the psychology of religion, and the history of social reform. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges of fostering purpose and integrity in a society grappling with the complexities of modernity and the aftermath of global conflict.
