I thought it was a very interesting piece. I can agree with many of the authors ideas but I disagree with a few as well. I can agree that many of the issues posing kids today are caused by indecision, but I would disagree that pluralism is the leading cause. I could agree pluralism as a factor but I believe issues kids face, as far as indecision goes, are more infrastructurially based. The American school  system does not prepare kids for the future. They are lumped into high school and  told to go to college, when college is not realistic for all kids. These kids are left with no direction because either they couldn't go to college or didn't want to. Vocational schools are available but so rarely actually utilized by the general public. In summation, I definitely find truth in the artist's ideas, but would disagree with pluralism being the leading cause.
