Here's the original text, taken from: Addams, J. (1911). The spirit of youth and the city streets. MacMillan, p. 5. |
Paraphrase: |
| "A further difficulty lies in the fact that this industrialism has gathered together multitudes of eager young creatures from all quarters of the earth as a labor supply for the countless factories and workshops, upon which the present industrial city is based. Never before in civilization have such numbers of young girls been suddenly released from the protection of the home and permitted to walk unattended upon city streets and work under alien roofs..." | A further problem stems from the fact that industrialism has brought many eager young people from all around the earth as a work supply for the many factories and workshops that form the base of the current industrial city. Never in our history have so many young women been suddenly let go from the protection of their families and allowed to walk by themselves on city streets and work under the roofs of strangers. |

| "Every culture has a myth of decline from some golden age and almost all peoples throughout history have been pessimists. Even today pessimism still dominates huge parts of the world. An indefinite pessimist looks out onto a bleak future, but he has no idea what to do about it. This describes Europe since the early 1970s, when the continent succumbed to undirected bureaucratic drift. Today the whole Eurozone is in slow-motion crisis, and nobody is in charge." | According to Peter Thiel, "Every culture has a myth of decline from some golden age and almost all peoples throughout history have been pessimists." |
