Young Men Are 'Secret Traditionalists'

London: Teenagers and young men today are secret traditionalists who believe in hard work and family values, new research has revealed. The popular stereo-type of the menacing hoodie feared as a yobbo and restrained by an ASBO appears far from being the truth.
The unexpected findings were uncovered by research group Prescient which quizzed almost 1,000 men aged from 18 to 24. It carried out the survey for the Army over the December 2005 and January 2006 period, questioning young men across the UK.
The research looked at the mind set and attitudes of the chosen group and found it had "surprisingly traditional values." "The study revealed that young men today are unpredictably traditional in their values and beliefs," a spokesman for Prescient said."They believe manhood lies in inner strength, rather than brute force, sexual prowess or material goods."
