Adam Weinstein is a writer for Mother Jones that responded to an article posted by Tim Urban of the Huffington Post titled, “Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy.” Weinstein’s response was an article titled, “I 'm Gen Y, and I 'm Not a Special Snowflake. I 'm Broke.” Weinstein really hit home with how I think a lot of us millennials feel in regards to all the negativity towards us. I really like this next quote in particular when…

People all over the world are continuously making advances in technology every day. Young adults are growing up in a world full of this technology and seem to know more about it than older adults. Most children spend countless hours of the day in front of a computer screen and are missing out on all the joys of being young. They are wasting their days away playing video games and scrolling through social media. Modern culture is making children lethargic because they are so corrupted by…

Different generations “see, interpret, and evaluate events differently, and consequently act upon them differently (Adler, 2008, p.72) When communication breaks down between different ages the workplace can turn into an unpleasant and tension filled environment. When there is a lack of communication it is more likely that assumptions will be made. Assumptions can lead to misunderstandings which can lead to negative effects within an organization. Change is a difficult process for any person in…

To some citizens, politics is a fun and intriguing way to get involved in the decision making for this country. However, many others see voting as a dull obligation for society. I have learned that the generation that is proven to care less about who is running this nation is millennials. A study was done by my classmates and I that revealed more than 60% of millennials are uninformed about the 2016 presidential election. Since the most powerful man/woman in the world will be elected this…

generation. They feel a “sense of entitlement, were raised to believe their opinion matters, and the world loves them and they deserve that love…expecting the world to be flexible with them” (p. 95). Rebuttals have been made in defense of generation Y, aka “millennials,” by Dixon, Mercado, & Knowles, (2013) who suggest the younger generation entering the workforce is exactly what organizations need, they possess team driven perspectives, excel in technology, and have the attitude on…

Retaining Millennials As the twenty first century presses forward, so does a vast cultural change in the work place. The Baby Boomer generation is steadily beginning to reach the age of retirement and as members of this generation leave the workforce, their offset is comprised of an entirely different kind of generation. The term Millennials typically refers to people born during the time span of roughly the early 1980’s through early 2000’s. The values of this generation are quite different…

Response to “Love, Actually” Andrew Reiner writer of, “Love, Actually” expresses the epidemic of a larger percent of millennials, that are facing the trends and fear of being in a committed relationship as a result, millennials’ mind set has shifted less empathy and increase on self-esteem and narcissism. Millennials’ fears toward vulnerability might keep them from reaching a marriage later on in their lives and the knowledge of love. Even though, they might not consider the importance of the…

What is it that states see in compulsory schooling? Is it the fact that the different governments believe they are conforming the students into good citizens who abide by the law? Truthfully, the governments have compulsory schooling set in hopes to create good citizens, decent young adults, and that these students will become adults who abide by the laws. In reality, everyone knows that not every student is going to listen to what the teachers say, much less a state law that he or she does not…

Each of the various generational classifications have a different attitude towards the role of religion in America. The youngest classification is Generation Z, and they are made up of individuals born between 1995 and 2012. Next, there is Generation Y, also known as Millennials, and they were born between the years of 1977 and 1994. Then there are the Boomers 2, also referred to as Generation Johns, and they were born between 1955 and 1965. The next classification is the Boomers 1, or the Baby…

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…
