Toda's soiet， of ourse， is an entirel different piture。Those people ho used to eat ith gobble their rie might be as ell have taken to fish and hips。align=left>Indeed， just take China as example; Our modern life has been influened b Westernof living in so man as that it's no longer surprising to see teenagers going raz about rok-and-roll， hole families dining out at MDonald's and even rather elderl people dressed in Apple Jeans。align=left>Hoever， these are onl some expressions of the ultural hanges taking plae in our soiet toda。What is reall going on is a subtle but signifiant restruturing of the nation's mentalit。 Just look around。align=left>Ho man ollege graduates are read to pete aggressivel for ever job opportunit， hereas not long ago the ere asked just to sit idle and ait for hatever as to be assigned to them b the government?align=left>Ho man oung people are no eager to seek for an independent life hereas onl to deades ago the ould rel totall on their parents to arrange for their future?
