Where is the glue?

The iGeneration shows a marked interest in ancient and mystical practices. At the same time there is declining interest and connection to the traditions and history of their own communities and culture. What are the implications of this declining connection?

Professor Jos de Haan, from the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, released recent research tracking this trend. The research raises interesting questions about the cohesion of current institutions and culture. It challenges educators as well as business, government and church leaders to reconsider the assumptions behind their organizations in terms of social integration and the future nature of our social contract.
