Sandwich Generation: Conflict Between Generations

Decent Essays
When I first read the title “Sandwich Generation” I interrupt it as a conflict between two generations. In the two movies show it discusses the conflict of the children parents’ generation leaving home to take care of their dad, vs the children generation. In reparation that I’m a day to day care giver I agree that bringing children in to the situation is if at a certain point. The parents are emotional wanting to go and take care of their sick dad, but have the debate on taking their kids out of school away from their friends. The parents understand why the grandfather is confused, but most likely the children will not. Not only will this hurt the children, but it’ll hurt the grandfather, for he will not understand why his grandchildren is

    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.…

    Learning a Lesson the Hard Way With the turn of the twenty-first century came a new form of parenting called “helicopter parenting”, this is when a parent takes an overprotective or excessive interest in the life of their child. People call these children “millennials”. Many older Americans deem millennials as selfish and entitled. However, in Nick Gillespie’s essay, “Millennials Are Selfish and Entitled, and Helicopter Parents Are to Blame”, he argues that we cannot blame the millennials themselves for being “selfish” or “entitled” but we must blame the parents for their “ridiculous level of kid-coddling”. In his essay, Gillespie uses the logos techniques of giving statistics and inductive reasoning, as well as the pathos technique of evocative language to convince his audience of older Americans, and American parents, that it is their overbearing parenting style that is giving millennials a sense of entitlement.…
