Listen to a reporter in Rebecca's town.
What was different a year later? Tick the things
she mentions.​

there is an old legend - how to celebrate new year, so spend it. a friend of mine in new year's eve, when all dressed snowflakes and snow maiden, he decided to dress the military, and in the spring he was taken into the army. and another friend, poisoned cookies, i remember new year's eve half-sick in the toilet, and then it all year i complained that she was sick of her husband. so do not believe in omens then. new year's eve must meet so as not to wait for the whole year and then summons the army or nauseating husband. last i was particularly afraid. and i firmly decided for myself that in this new year will be all right. there will be a good company, a small house in the winter forest, candles and a fireplace. there will be a great dressing up the christmas tree will be gifts, champagne and toasts, the laughter and the clink of glasses and in this connection, i now completely understand how the new year's eve, i, like a year ago, again pancake was among strangers on a train. now i think that the proverb "as celebrate new year - so spend it" is not quite up to date. perhaps the saying was changed to "how to meet new year - so you will meet and the next," but i was not warned about this, radishes. i do not know. but lokomotiv moscow and warsaw, where i was several hours before the new year, was is packed full of celebrating people. on the table in the coupe rolled tangerines and bubbling champagne, and this was made from living branches, a christmas tree. to achieve the effect of the holiday, i turned on the laptop some old new year's concert, and five minutes before the battle of chimes - this secretary-general in writing. new year was greeted by the ringing of glasses, guessing the desires and shouting "hurrah! " around the car.

many young people are heavily influenced by pop music and culture, which usually is in sharp contrast to the established "norm".

the positive side of it: this is an area where young people can express themselves as being something different, and find comfort and security in knowing that they are part of a large group or movement.

the negative side of it: they may change their attitudes and behavior from the messages in the lyrics of the music they hear.they may fall prey to drugs, sexual disease, or confrontations with the increasingly intolerant police.

in conclusion, i would like to say that i think there should be "space made available" for expression. when the "mainstream" of a culture come in conflict with any "pop culture", the potential for alienation is there. part of growing up is to "question" the establishment, and it is a weakness of any "establishment" not to give a platform for this questioning. society must have an alternative which seems more attractive or it has failed in its responsibility.
