Les problèmes culturels de la jeunesse (document en anglais)

The frontier as a limit between two spaces will besen as much as a protection against outsiders as an opening and an address to broader horizons. In a document, we saw that Radio Boston speaks about a gap year that students after the high school can set. The journalist recommends to take a gap year instead of going to the university. It is good to travel abroad, to live, to discover something else. This year won in popularity. The students who take a gap year succeed better in the university. According to a professor of Havard, the students who leave a gap year are more mature, concentrated on their studies.

India give many job opportunities for everybody. The economic situation of the USA is not good and is « satured ». That is why, the countries of development are favored because they offer more opportunities.
