Generation Z

Screwed Generation?” by Joel Kotkin and “I’m a Millennial and My Generation Sucks” by Johnny Oleksinski, the topic of the millennial generations circumstances in today’s world is addressed. This is a worthy topic to discuss because most college students are millennials, and in the near future millennial will control the country. Although Kotkin and Oleksinski have contradicting ideas of the millennial generations the share some the same views. In the article “I’m a Millennial and My Generation…

Today, many past generations are critical of millennials and generation Z, however, this criticism seems misdirected and simply rash. There is a lot of contradictions in the analysis of this generation by social scientists. On one side, some believe this generation lacks motivation and independence, whereas other scientists analyze this generation as creative and optimistic. Social scientists are still researching this new cohort, but their research so far is in the positive light. Typically, if…

The greatest generation is defined as the people who lived through the World War II era, and generation z, the people born into advancing technology. It may be thought that the two generations have nothing in common, but both are faced with many serious issues. Though the generations may have similarities, they have completely opposite causes. The greatest generation is full of people living with depression, alcohol abuse, people based on societal approval and anxiety but can the issues baby…

1982, the year that began the millennial generation. The beginning of all the self-centered, greedy, lazy, and “special” generation. The list of traits associated with millennials is never-ending, which coincides with the changes millennials have made in the past couple of years.

Out of all the generations that are still alive today, from the Greatest Generation to the Baby Boomers to Gen X, this generation of Millennials and Gen Z are, by far, the dumbest generation. Or so many people seem to believe. They argue that the youth have seemingly no knowledge of even the most basic information and with the increasing availability of technology at their fingertips, their ambition and academic intelligence will continue to deteriorate. However, those under the age of 30 have…

Dumbest Generation that those under thirty constitute the “dumbest” generation in contemporary record. However, he does not take into account that people under age thirty have adapted their learning capabilities to this progressive media-focused environment. Bauerlein has yet to acknowledge the benefits that the information age has had on education.

The lazy generation, the entitled generation, the generation of glassy eyed kids staring at a screen. Every millennial child is all too familiar with these less than flattering nicknames for todays youth. I never hear people showering my generation with praise, however on a daily basis I encounter someone talking about how we are a lazy group of whiners, the worst nightmare of employers everywhere...etc. Frankly, I am sick of hearing rude remarks from older generations about the many failures of…
