Because of technology, our culture is inundated with information. We Twitter, Facebook, instant messaging and with the touch of a button to do anything in our opinion can blog about anything. In a moment the whole world we can know a particular subject, event, or think about the person.

However, to use all this information about some positive things, there are also negative. Problems that circulates so fast that much of this information is not true. Politicians spin stories in order to maintain their poll numbers. Celebrities hire press agents personas project that does not really exist.Twisted information once it is out there, it's hard to take back or right.

We are surrounded by half-truths and falsehoods. It is hard to know who to trust. Many people in our country to spread false information because of the transparency. We all "fake" stuff is tired. We just look for us in the eye and be honest with us, even if we do not agree with what they are saying. Our leaders and those around us with whom we interact with on a regular basis to the actual authenticity.

Although all age groups are looking for authenticity, it is especially important for young people. Many of them feeling like they've been lied to for their entire lives. They wonder if they are listening to what have become weary of being true.

Some young people this desire for honesty and just plain rudeness real transparency, leading to cross the line between. Dr. Jean Twenge a Ph.D. In personality psychology from the University of Michigan. Americans between the ages of 7 and 36 have done extensive research on. The research he has written a scholarly book entitled, Generation ME: Why Today's Young Americans are more confident, assertive, entitled, and are more miserable than ever. Dr. Twenge, who is himself a young adult when a clear description of his generation. He says, "because we no longer believe that there is a right way of doing things, most of us never were taught the rules of etiquette." Because many young adults were never taught proper etiquette, the authenticity and transparency are motivated by their desire to say harsh things. They meet strangers in stores, says outrageous things. When they say rude things, they are saying they do not realize just how rude can.

But our culture to new levels of rudeness have made increasingly raw. This is healthy stress levels among individuals is greater. The public temper tantrums and outbursts of anger creates more common. While preschoolers in a grocery store in our society to accept public temper tantrums because their parents will not buy them a candy bar, can we really 35 year olds in the office, or fitness center, or to church?

I believe it is time for us to grow emotionally. If we taught proper etiquette, so we need to teach yourself. Apostle Paul before I Corinthians 13:11 (HCSB) write "when I was a kid, I'm reminded of a talk like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child when I became a man I put aside childish things. "Paul was simply saying that as we mature emotionally, we act like kids should be able to have relationships without transparent.Our culture must come to grips with this.
