    From my reading of this case, I can clearly see three main issues facing the team involved. The first issue facing the team is a generational difference which can be seen in the different attitudes and motivations of the team members. Josh Bartola, the thirty-year-old team member is a perfect stereotype of a member of Generation Y with his “Dr. Martens boots and a faded Clash T-shirt” (Heimbouch et al. 2001), he craves excitement, finding meaning in his work and feeling important.…

    Kathryn Tyler’s, The Tethered Generation suggests that the millennial generation has been so influenced by new technologies their entire lives, that it has made them less independent than their parents’ generation and more likely to hover over their children’s lives as “helicopter parents”. Tyler uses the story of Kate Achille to give readers an example specifically from a millenial in order to connect to the target audience. She also uses comparison and contrast, antithesis, argumentation, and a research study. Tyler intends to help give this generation and the companies that will be hiring this generation a better understanding of the role of technology in their lives and how it affects the way they think and work. Kathryn Tyler suggests that it will take a lot more than it used to in order to successfully transition the millennial generation into the workforce.…

    Today, many past generations are critical of millennials and generation Z, however, this criticism seems misdirected and simply rash. There is a lot of contradictions in the analysis of this generation by social scientists. On one side, some believe this generation lacks motivation and independence, whereas other scientists analyze this generation as creative and optimistic. Social scientists are still researching this new cohort, but their research so far is in the positive light. Typically, if I were to describe a typical millennial, older generations may picture someone living out of their parent’s basement attached to their phones.…

    In “The Beat Up Generation” (2014), written by Abby Ellin, she defines the Millenials as a generation that is spoiled, self-entitled and technology controlled. Despite the negative representation of Millenials, Ellin praises them for being hardworking, technology innovating and outspoken. Ellin offends Generation Y being viewed as lazy and having no motivation to work in order to further claim her purpose and because this was written for Psychology Today and published, her intended audience was for the general public who were most likely to be curious or knowledgeable about the Millenials. I wasn’t very shocked or angry of what Ellin wrote about Millenials since it was all true. Sure, we do come across as lazy, technology obsessed or as we have been named as “heads down generation” meaning we always have our head down looking into our phones but that is because of our generation like many generations before us, is flawed.…

    Finding Neverland Growing up we have all heard the story of Peter Pan, the boy who never wanted to grow up, and Neverland, the land which allowed him to stay young forever. As young adults we have found our own Neverland, where the worry of growing up is nonexistent – and it is called college. In the article “Peter Pan goes to College” author Nathan Harden argues that Millennials and Generation Z are deferring typical adulthood responsibilities such as being economically self-sufficient and waiting longer to marry and start families. Harden builds a convincing argument by using compelling facts and statistical evidence, using credible authors and scholars to argue his main points, and attempting to create an emotional and personal connection…

    The terms Generation Z/iGen/Post-Millennial are used to define the digital natives born after the mid 1990’s. Although there are perceived good qualities associated to being part of Gen Z, such as being more private, entrepreneurial, and independent according to Forbes, I find the negatives to be overwhelming. I see many people of my generation as incredibly selfish, disrespectful, and pompous. I believe that by spending a large majority of our times in front of screens since birth, it has become far too easy to distance ourselves from the world around us, to the point that the line the digital world and the world around us is…

    Recently, there have been debates on millennials, also known as Generation Y (people born roughly between the 1980’s and 2000), and whether older generation love or hate the generation that is ‘so full of themselves’. How Those Spoiled Millennials Will Make the Work Place Better for Everyone, written by Emily Matchar (2012), argues that millennials aren’t all bad and will better the workplace. At the beginning of her article, Matchar describes millennials negatively, “teacup kids, for their supposed emotional fragility; boomerang kids, who always wind up back home; trophy kids — everyone’s a winner! ; the Peter Pan generation, who’ll never grow up” (pg. 1). The use of these negative names for millennials helps the writer connect with the reader’s…

    ndependence vs Teamwork Generation Y individuals value independence just as much as teamwork. Finding the right balance is highly important because working in a team gives the feeling that one is included and working individually gives the ability to grow professionally. In addition to this, this generation can work very well in groups. Yet, their parents also raised them with the mindset that they have to see themselves as unique individuals and taught them the value of individuality and individual thinking. This explains why the majority of Generation Y individuals constantly seek the right balance between independence and teamwork.…
