While preceding generations may claim that we are the “dumbest” generation, we are actually much more advanced than they were and on the brink…

Individuals born between 1946 and 1963 are considered to be part of the “Baby Boomer Generation.” These individuals came of age between 1963 and 1983. With many more opportunities – social, educational and financial – the Baby Boomer generation is “often portrayed as a generation of optimism, exploration and achievement.” (ValueOptions) In the early 1960s, the style influences of the 1950s were still in circulation, but the debut of Britain’s supergroup The Beatles, threw fashion into overdrive.…

present, the conditions of life have changed drastically. Young people in this generation are able to enjoy living in peace and affluence, in stark contrast to those in the previous generation. The abundance and superfluity of physical materials have caused the decay of moral values, one of which is resilience. People assert that: “Young people in this generation are not as resilient as those in the previous generation” and I totally concur to that statement. Resilience is one of the most…

At Pawsitively Purrfect, Busciacco has seen that while the older generations respond more to the traditional forms of advertising, such as a shelf flier, millennials are more attune to the messages spread on the store’s social media. “The millennials are definitely the ones that are responding to the social media. They’re the ones that are seeing something advertised on Facebook, seeing your Instagram account, checking out the new products that way,” Busciacco said. “The baby boomers, I think,…

five-year-old steps into their first day of kindergarten till the day they graduate from college, they will hear “you are our future, our next generation, the people who will change things” from elder ones. If the next generation is our future, would that consider a senior in high school to be more valuable than a senior in college in society? If the new generation will bring more excellence, knowledge, and a different outlook to the way things are to insure a better tomorrow, the youngest would…

There is no need to explain how important it is to 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.

Whitman’s prediction of this harsh future is expertly portrayed in Allen Ginsberg’s contemporary work describing 1950’s America. Ginsberg’s works, America and Howl, directly respond to Whitman’s warnings, document the present times, and warn future generations. Whitman’s collection of poems, Crossing the Brooklyn Ferry, describes his personal struggle and eventual understanding of being one person amidst a crowd. His broad realization is that many people will experience the same emotions he is…

In his book, The Dumbest Generation, Mark Bauerlein claims that those who constitute the population of individuals under the age of thirty are members of the “dumbest generation”. He even goes to such an extreme as saying, “You guys don’t know anything,” (Bauerlein). However, is this not true?
