Everybody in the millennial generation has had some sort of generalization put upon them by an older generation. In the case of Goldfarb’s article and the studies done by Goldman Sachs we as a generation generally believe specific values as a whole and vice versa. I as a millennial believe in some of the said values myself and I agree that other millennials have beliefs that match the studies.
