millennial generation is looking for more than a home cleaning job, finding them is hard and keeping them is even harder. As a manager being able to adapt to the needs and desires of this generation can be a challenge in itself (What Can Employers Do?, 2015).

To whoever decides to read this, These poems I’ve written weren’t written with any particular aim other than to write. To many, this may seem absurd or even erroneous, but that’s the truth behind each poem I’m submitting, they’re spontaneous without any exact aim other than to dispose of an emotion or answer a question resulting from my musings.

Every generation seems to clash with the other, since the beginning of time. Dr. Fareed Zakaria makes this clear in his article called “The Try-Hard Generation.” Zakaria examines the conflict between the Baby Boomer(1946-1964) generation and Millennials(1980-2000).

The opposition to Millennials is that they are lazy, career-oriented, and are lacking intellectually. However,…

a big house, a couple of kids, nice vehicles and a loving partner waiting for you at home, right? One of the biggest things standing in the way of our generation living that dream is the way hooking-up has taken place of dating and the effects it has on building a foundation for a strong and healthy relationship. Hooking up has taken our generation by storm and can be detrimental to a later relationship. Sure, hooking up seems like a lot less work than trying to build a foundation for a healthy…

Millennials, they are often thought of as the generation unlike any other, but isn’t that what was said about every other generation too. Why are they thought of as being different than the rest? How could the mindset of one group of individuals differ so greatly from that of the rest of their society?
