“Kids these days” is a term with a negative connotation that is commonly used among people from the Baby Boomer (1946 to 1964) and X (mid 1960s to early 1980s) generations when judging children on their hobbies and activities. According to them, the people of the Millennial (1980s to late 1990s) and Z (early 2000s and on) generations have much different childhoods and adulthoods than the previous two generations. In their eyes, children and young adults today are nothing like what they used to…
demographic, marketers frequently ignore another: Baby boomers. And this is a mistake – a big one. In fact, according to Baby Boomer Magazine, roughly 40% of all consumers are baby boomers. That’s nearly half of the people spending money to buy stuff that gets completely ignored! Uh, you could say today’s marketers are leaving a whole lotta money on the table by ignoring this portion of the population. WHY Target Baby Boomers If you…
Although the baby boom generation has proven to have a significant impact on the larger society, they also represent a serious problem to future generations to come in the job market. In today’s society, jobs are being offered based on years of experience and educational background. For the boomers, “work life extension could be a good thing” for them and the economy (Moody and Sasser 2015, 465). By having the boomers in the workplace, this calls for a diverse work environment. On the other…
Although a lot of people refers baby boomers as senior citizens, baby boomers do not necessarily feel “old” because they have a positive outlook on life. They want to continue living exciting, active, and fulfilling lives. However, a significant amount of baby boomers must face the fact that they are approaching financial uncertainty due to aging out of the workforce (MINT 1). According to a 2015 study from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), 29% of Baby boomers do not have money set…
In both “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption” written by Stephen King and in The Shawshank Redemption written and directed by Frank Darabont, Red tells us early in the story that Andy did not commit the crime he was Jailed for. Injustice can be defined many ways the most relevant being “violation of the rights of others; unjust or unfair action or treatment.” The theme of injustice is used throughout both works to further enhance and unfold the story. Andy Dufresne was one of the few…

The two movies I choose are Talladega Nights and Hardball. Hardball is an inspiring story in which a man who is on a bad path in lights loses all his money, and is forced to coach a baseball team of underprivileged kids and ends up caring for them. He leads the tea to a championship, and they lose a player to a gunshot, but they join together and win! Talladega Nights is the story of Ricky Bobby, a race car driver who was mistreated and abandoned by his father. He thought that he had to win to…
The baby boom represents the era with a substantial increase in births between the years 1946-1965. In 1946, after almost 20 years of economic depression, Canadians finally had a chance at the ‘American Dream’ working 9-5, the uprise of suburbia, time for recreational activities and travel. This new economic freedom led to more marriages and ultimately more children. Although what happens when 9.6 million children grow up at the same time in Canada and enter the workforce, then later grow old…
