[Youth movements and puberty].

Abstract

Since the "Wandervogelbewegung" (german youth movement), there has been a formation of youth movements in all industrialized countries throughout the 20th century. They may have different aspects, but they have a mutual concern: Youth movements are the expression of countercultural trends. The sensibility regarding social conflicts is increased during puberty, youth is therefore particularly ready to accept to be employed against existing cultural trends and for humanization of the computer society. Youth movements therefore must be understood as a cultural self-healing attempt of industrialized societies.
