　　Todays youth do things in their own ways, spend money on whatever they want and talk to people in their own languagespersonality development is ①overstated by young people these days. To some of them, personality means to be totally different from who their parents used to be.

　　But the problem is that during their pursuit of their personal goals they ignore some of the traditional virtues of which their ①forefathers were proud. Take the question of ②fidelity to elders for example. With better education and different experiences, some young people find its hard to agree with their parents any longer. They have a feeling of superiority and even sometimes ③turn their back on their elder parents.

　　To me, personality development and traditional virtues ①have nothing to do with right or wrong. In our society, we need them both. These virtues help you to become a better Chinese, while personality development will improve your own character.
