Although seen as dumber because of their lessen ability to retain general knowledge as compared with previous generations, Gen Y is not the dumbest generation due to their utilization of technology as well as development of autonomy.

From 1910-1970, many Indigenous children were taken from their biological families, because of government policies. The traumatic experience of the children from that generation continues to have an impact on Indigenous communities, families and individuals. These children are known as the Stolen Generation. The Stolen Generation had been seized from their biological families, and wrongly told that their parents had either abandoned them or died. The children were never told about who their real…

The sketch of my family’s genogram has given me insight into the history of the third, second and the first generation of children. I had to do research for the birthdays, deaths and marriages since they were before I was born. The system call for grandparents as the third generation, the beginning when the grandparents sometimes were married by the age of twelve or thirteen and picking cotton was the only way to accumulate income for the family. My father’s parents only had a common law…

One of the cities I believe millennials love the most is Austin, Tx. That might sound weird considering the stereotypical millennial and the stereotypes surrounding Texas. Millennials are more liberal, artsy, young, hipster, nonreligious, and open to change, whereas Texas is stereotyped as old, southern, conservative, dogmatic, traditionalist, and pious protestant christian. So, why would a millennial think anything remotely related to Texas, let alone a Texas city, would be cool? Well, Austin,…

very materialistic because they feel that their unhappiness will be solved by filling their lives with money, alcohol, and other expenditures. Many of the people after World War I seemed to lack direction in life; they were later called the “lost generation” for this reason.

Jake is the only one that one ever sees going to work and earning his living, while Cohn and Brett have enough money to support…

yourself, don’t do things that are easy just to get by. This quote really applies to our generation. We have too many people only doing enough to get by with. There are also people who are afraid to succeed, they are scared of others reactions, or comments. Most people just want to fit in with others, so if most people are only doing just enough to get by then, they will do what others are doing. Yes our generation is very lazy, we rely on things being given to us and everything to be easy.…

We call the generation of youth in the 1920s The Lost Generation. Oh Faulkner, Hemmingway, and Fitzgerald we call them lost because of their questions about manhood. It’s said that because of their questions, but was their generation really all that unique? This current generation has questions, no they aren’t questions about manhood, but questions about what social interaction really is, and what will it mean in our lives. In Ernest Hemmingway’s novel, The Sun Also Rises, Hemmingway shows how…

America’s Greatest Gift to My Generation My generation has many advantages over previous generations such as technology, freedom, safety, and education. Education is an important gift because it opens up doors to career opportunities and diverse lifestyles. The first person in my family to graduate college was my older sister, also my great aunt didn’t even finish her high school career. Education is the most important gift to my generation because of increasing opportunities and ability to…

Unsafe Situation Every crime scene is different and the crime scene investigator should always be prepared for different scenarios that might arise at a scene. If the crime scene investigator fails to examine each crime scene properly it could harm the investigation as well as make it difficult to identify and convict the perpetrator. Some crime scenes might have unsafe situations like the crime scene that was found on Mother’s Day, 2001. A body of a male that seems to be around his 40’s, was…
