Tinangka ng karamihang Pilipino na magbuhay-Amerikano sa wika, sa damit, sa kilos at ugali, gayong ito’y hindi maaari kalian pa man. Pilit na ipinatatakwil sa kabataan ang huwad ng gaslaw at ikot ng sa banyaga, walang nais panoorin kundi mga laro, pelikula at ibang libangang dayuhan, walang nais basahin kundi mga babasahing sinulat ng dayo at limbag sa labas ng Pilipinas. Saan patutungo ang kabataang may ganitong kamulatan?
