Topics
Tim Kennedy：美国军队面临严重的征兵危机，17-24岁年轻人中77%不符合参军标准，主要原因是肥胖、吸毒和健康问题。这反映了美国社会整体健康状况的下降，从普通民众到精英士兵，这一趋势都在恶化。问题的根源在于多方面因素，包括社交媒体、色情、不良饮食习惯以及美国文化在过去30年的负面变化，例如家庭观念的淡薄和大众媒体对父母形象的负面塑造。缺乏跨代知识传承也导致经验和技能的流失。 为了解决征兵危机，美国国防部需要改进沟通方式，向年轻人展示参军的意义和价值，包括为弱势群体提供帮助和机会。同时，美国社会需要重新重视家庭观念，培养年轻一代的责任感和目标感。 Chris Williamson：针对美国年轻人参军意愿低迷的现象，以及对军队负面形象的认知，提出了质疑。他认为，部分年轻人对参军的消极态度，源于对军队宣传的无效以及对过去战争的负面认知。同时，他也指出，美国文化中日益增长的个人主义和缺乏共同目标感，是导致年轻人缺乏责任感和目标感的重要原因。他认为，中国等国家更强调集体主义和国家荣誉感，这在一定程度上促进了年轻一代的爱国热情和社会责任感。
