tissue, long limbs, and abnormally small testes. Based on my findings, “Klinefleter syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects male physical and cognitive development”(Genetics Home, 2015). This genetic disorder is a result of having 2 X and a Y-chromosomes mixed together. Individuals living with Klinefeter syndrome typically have small testes that do not produce as much testosterone as usual”(Genetic Home, 2015). In essence, the small testicle does not produce a large amount of sperm, or…

manage four generations in the workplace. About where to start from and how to do it we will try to cover in the next few pages. The four distinct generational groups in today’s workforce are Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y. The Traditionalist Generation, also known as the Silent Generation, the Greatest Generation, or the Veterans comprises employees and retirees born between 1928 and 1945 (Taylor, P., & Keeter, S., 2010, p. 4). This year the oldest member of the…

“Firefly is a TV series that talk about the crew of desperate men and women just want to survive and maybe have better lives, but they face constant challenges on the new frontier, such as the Reavers, flesh-eating mongrels who live on the fringes of the universe”(Firefly). In the movies, one of the character name Kaylee, she is smart, lovable, and such a generous person who seems the best in everyone. Kaylee was an exceptional mechanic who had a great passion for machines. She had no…

I am a millennial. Generation Y; we are considered the global generation and mostly known for our narcissism and sense of entitlement. To most, the word “millennial” comes with many negative connotations associated with millennials in the workforce. It may be because of our access to so much technology growing up, or because we’re the first generation where every child gets a trophy for just showing up. No matter the origin of these stereotypes, I feel as though I break them and I hope that I am…

“The New Greatest Generation” In Joel Stein’s article, “The New Greatest Generation,” he argues that Millennials are known as the “me me me generation” because of their selfishness. Stein explains how the people born between 1980 to 2000 are a generation of over-confident and self-involved individuals. He also refers to them as “fame-obsessed,” rather than focusing on a brighter and better future, they often settle for unrealistic goals. Stein makes a convincing argument that Millennials are a…

Generational Deficits: The complexity of generational poverty One would assume that if one generation is impoverished and the next generation is also impoverished, that this had to be from the same lack of resource and exclusively that. This generational poverty, however, does not necessarily have to be the same as the one preceding it. Each generation who is impoverished finds themselves in a new situation that has its own unique deficits of a certain resource that they simply cannot live…

I agree with Hymowitz about the unprecedented change in our society of women starting to choose to start a family later in life. In America’s societies past women relied on the male head of house for financial decisions, and income, and “for women the central task usually involved the day-to-day rearing of the next generation” (493). These days one of the most drastic changes brought by pre-adulthood is the common acceptance of whether a person would like to have a family or not. Either sex is…

Millennial: noun, a person reaching young adulthood around the year 2000. Or, you may know of them as the “entitled” generation. There are many terms that can describe the generation I make up. But, to other Millennials, they don’t agree with everything that’s said about them. “I don’t think we are the entitled generation,” said Corey King a 22-year-old college student at Lock Haven University. “Every generation before us was not approved by the previous generations. My grandfather didn’t…

suddenly taken over society. This takeover hasn’t come easy however, as older members of society have imprinted stereotypes on its imminent successors that have given them a bad reputation. Despite the negative connotations attached to Generation Y, some understand the demographic and see past the stereotypes. Sam Tanenhaus, the writer of the article “Generation Nice” is one of these people. In the article, Tanenhaus does an excellent job of portraying the feelings and pressures of living as…

Differences between Generational Work Styles and Attitudes Work styles differ between each generation, mainly due to the many advances in the quality of life, especially that of technology. This can affect the view points between the older and younger generations. Deana Coan makes a statement that “One area where generational differences can be found is in the attitudes towards work” (Coan 17). Attitudes of employees are very important to how productive the workplace is. The different…
