The problems of youth are concerned with the trend of young people’s personalization. The “personalization” here means that the band between young people and their family and other social groups become loose. They live in society only as one individual. In the process of modernization in Japanese society, social privatization occurred. But within the value system of Japan, person is not on an equality with the state and social group. Then the individualization, the result of the social privatization is the release of selfish desire. This problem affects young people’s behavior mode, and brings them some characteristics such as autism in family and lack of self discipline.展开更多
