Very true. These 18 year olds aren’t selected because they are into politics, social issues, emotional intelligence. They are good at kicking balls and that’s great, let’s cheer them for their athleticism. But nah, I wouldn’t be looking to them for any kind of advanced social awareness. And they are at an age where they want to be doing all the stuff regular young adults do. Bit unrealistic to think they won’t.
