Watch details Watch details Already, in this very first question, we can pick out lexical fields that differ significantly between what might be called the West (which, in our sample, includes North America and Western Europe, from north to south) and the rest of the world. This tendency is maintained more or less throughout the consultation. Presentationof lessons learnedby region Reflecting regional aspirations:from western happiness to global success It is worth noting that the theme of personal happiness, which includes joy, being satisfied with life and having fun, very much prevails in North America and Europe. By contrast, in all other regions of the globe, it is personal success that takes the forefront, particularly in professional or academic terms, or quite simply to make one’s parents proud. The triptych of success - happiness - financial situation is nevertheless found worldwide, with one notable exception: Sub-Saharan Africa, where the youth are more interested in concepts that are not brought out as much in the rest of the world, such as a search for purpose, achievement, and personal development. Personal development, which covers the ambition to become a better person, to acquire independence or to learn more, only reaches the top five in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, professional aspirations are ranked in the top five in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as in South Asia. Physical health, meanwhile, only seems to be a major concern in the West.
