What Young People Looked Like 100 Years Ago by wittyt98(m): 8:13pm On Feb 06, 2017
Throughout history, people have always seen the younger generation as somehow different from their elders. I took an interest in this subject, and i investigated just how much young people have changed over the last 100 years. Since it’s a bit too tricky to find out about people’s personal qualities, i compared something a bit more simple, but nonetheless fascinating — young people’s appearance around the world.
