Beat Generation

Every day, whether you are listening to the radio, watching TV, or even at school you will hear someone or a group of people talking about my generation (the Millennials) and how screwed or ignorant we are. In some ways they are right, but are we really as incompetent as they think? We know more about technology than our parents and grandparents, we are creative and optimistic when it comes to work, and we have a better understanding with the need to help others. Also, we stay connected to…

million millennials that make up the United States population, more than any other generation (Babin & Harris, p. 207). Not only are millennials the first digital natives, they are connected more socially, have less money to spend, are burdened with debt but also have different priorities. Millennials play video games, instant message, download music, watch television online and use social media more than Generation X and Baby Boomers. With forty-four percent using text messaging and…

The Millennial Generation is the largest generation in America’s history with the oldest members being around thirty-five years old and the youngest around fifteen years old. PewResearch Center conducted a study in which they asked Millennials to describe themselves. The members of this generation described their generation as narcissistic, self-absorbed, and wasteful. When those from previous generations study the Millennials though, they find them to be self-confident, relational, and…

Millennials are Changing the World. I am a Millennial. My generation is becoming the most influential generation of consumers, citizens, and employees. Generation Y is changing the basics of rental market and representing the new work force in the global market.

Members of the Lost Generation are known for being apathetic expatriates who go against traditional relationships, religion, and gender stereotypes. Since this generation is uncertain for their future, they don’t trust their political leaders and use alcohol to escape their reality. Generation Z is quite similar to the Lost Generation. Various people have argued that my generation is the next Lost Generation due to the indistinguishable qualities they share. Within the first chapter of The Sun…

have noticed some striking differences based on our generations, a type of birth cohort which is named and typified. My father is a part of the Baby Boomers generation who benefits the greatest financially, where that generation is most affluent, whereas the millennials are the poorest because we are inheriting all the debt from older generations. I think it is interesting to see how the brain thinks differently between a younger and older generation. I think about how my brother who is 25 is…

Silent Generation Every generation has their own specific defining moment that makes everyone in the future look back on them in a certain way. Each generation is judged and examined by how they respond to that one defining moment, and in many cases are ripped apart because they didn’t live up to the expectations set out for them.
