What is going to happen when today's generation grows up? All that kids/teenagers worry about today is "Will I be rich, famous, or even both...maybe?" Not much focus is placed on character and the ability to work together. Sports, for an example, used to have the focus on building teamwork when now kids are trying to get through life playing sports. This comic strip expresses the message not only with the words of the adult, but with the actions of the kid as well. The adult is using soccer as a way to build character and teamwork. The kid, who is showing off "his moves" while telling how he will be like David Beckham. He is focused on building his skill so that he can be so-called famous and can snag "big buck endorsements". The previous generations based their opportunities on the fact that it would improve their character and their lifestyle while today's generations see the same opportunities as a way to upgrade their lifestyle tremendously.
