Interestingly, the issue of climate change is less politically polarized among younger adults than older ones – young adults who identify as Republican are more likely than older Republicans to agree that climate change is real, harmful, and man-made, which suggests that as current young adults age and begin to move into more powerful positions, climate change will become a more universal priority. Other environmental issues, such as clean drinking water, preservation of land and natural resources, and ethical use of animal products are also high on the priority lists of younger adults and soon-to-be adults. Young adults see these issues as important challenges that they’re motivated to engage with. Social Media

From privacy issues to the effects social media can have on self-esteem and body image, young adults have plenty of reasons to see social media as a challenge that they must grapple with. At the same time, social media is something of a necessity for young adults who need to be able to make connections for academic and professional reasons, which gives them a vested interest in figuring out the best way to work out the problems with the medium.
