Slavery

I have come across with many incidents in my university life where people around me(university students) like to ask a lot of weird questions when they are given any task or assignments.
Its good to ask questions but certain questions regarding some minor details actually reflects the mentality of young people nowadays.
Most of us in our generation grew up during peace time. Where war was far away from us. We get more than enough things to satisfy our needs. I can say that we have no worries about surviving at all. At the same time we lack the ability to make decision.
We only know what to do when we are told to do. We do not know what we should do if we are not told. We cant decide the life we want, instead we leave this to our parents, teachers, lecturers.....

Can u imagine a university student could not even decide what he should write in his resume?or an university student still have to go and ask the lecturers, how long, how many pages, how many words is needed in an assignment when they were told that they a free to write how many words they want as long as the content is there?
We were given to authority to decide our own fate, however we prefer to leave it to the others.
We want to have a good life, but we want others to decide how we should live our life.
This is the mentality of the younger generations in Malaysia.

We are afraid of freedom.
We want to be slaves that are bounded by rules and regulations.
We feel lost if we are given the freedom to make decisions.
Is this the consequences of the failure in our education system?
