Introduction :

We associated for long time spirituality with religion but it existed since the creation of the humanity. Anthropologists have made some studies and declared that prehistoric man already had spiritual processions. Spirituality is really large at sense meaning but although we all have a different definition of spirituality, we can say that it is closely related to religious belief, faith and transcendent reality. Public schools have banished religion from their institutions and the scientific minds diminish the importance of the spirituality in our society . Considering the fact that numerous people are pretending to be help by spirituality in hard moments , we wanted to take a look at the perception young people had on spirituality and compared it with and older group of persons.

We do believe that spirituality is more present in older people minds because religious education is part of their background. In this present work , I will try in the following paragraphs to present you my method and then the results to conclude with an open discussion about spirituality.


Method and Results:

We survey about 20 persons with a series of questions having multiple choices ,50 percents of them had 40 years old and more and the other group was obviously the younger ones (having 15 10 40 years old). We asked as a first question if spirituality was a part of their life, 60 % of younger people answers was not at all and 40 % of them replied a little bit. The main different with the older group is that 60 % of them answed a little bit, 20 %, not at all and 20 more percents said a lot. . With our survey ,we can easily see that younger people are more open-minded to new spiritual groups and techniques as meditation. One of the most important idea claims by the survey is that 80 percents of young people don’t want to give back a place to spirituality in institutions, compared to only 40 % in the older person’s survey. Overall it is clearly representative of what we thought at the beginning of our survey. We wouldn’t have give precise answers like the survey but we have been forced to realized how the perception of the spirituality from a generation to an other is really different.

Discussion:

Considering the fact that religion is based on spirituality we can say that it is a big part of our heritage. Plus, spirituality is completely indispensable to our society. It gives a sense to the absurdity of life and it is also an emotional support for the persons going through a hard life period. However, I think modernity is killing slowly but surely the rest of spiritual aspects in our society. Some will say that spirituality is evoluating in a way that it becomes less rigid and doctrinal, I’m agree with it but our generation is having a new regard on the world and the ecological problems that we are facing are much more in young people’s preoccupations .
