Nabeel.Ahmad, Doctor answer this. :p


Doctors and Engineers are more highly rewarded because we are living in the age of technology. New technological advancements are taking place every day in the field of Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Medicine. Also, the population is increasing rapidly and with a rise in population comes a rise in Sick People, so the need for Doctors and Surgeons is increasing greatly, due to which Doctors are more highly rewarded than other occupations in modern industrial societies. They are more highly rewarded in order to encourage people to become doctors, so that they can serve their nation and save lives.

Explain why some young people tend to reject social control and form their own sub cultures?

Humans, have a tendency to go on the wrong path. This tendency is more strong in younger people. Social control is established in modern industrial societies, in order to prevent individuals from breaking the rules and doing actions that are not suitable for a healthy society. But some young people tend to reject this social control. They do this because they are not Psychologically mature enough to understand the after-effects of their actions. Old people on the other hand know the consequences and mostly don't reject social control. But young people are attracted towards things that are against the law. Illegal things seem attractive to young people, and even though young people know that some stuff is socially prohibited, they tend to reject the notion of it being unlawful and they reject social control, and take risks.

--> Because they are not aware of the consequences.
--> Because they have a tendency to break rules.
--> Because they are attracted to stuff that is against the law, it's human nature. Old people on the other hand have control over themselves, mostly.

Things like Gambling, Drinking, Prostitution, Theft, Murder, Drugs seem attractive to young people, and they reject the police, the law, the courts and they tend to form their own sub cultures of rebellion.

Young people are aware of the consequences.
The Mass Media highlights such issues. So nothing is hidden from them.
May be, it's like they break the rules even knowing the consequences to show that they are not afraid of anyone and may be to prove their strength.

Young teenagers and children are constantly exposed to such stuff on television. They watch movies that show violent scenes. This all develops in them a sense to reject the social control system and form their own sub cultures.
