I am doing the greatest generation because they seem like the ones with the most content and interesting. This generation endured a lot of hardships. They were born post World War 1 world where europe was ravaged by the great war. They toughed it out through the great depression the hardest recession of the United States. They hated prohibition but went through that with illegal alcohol. They saw the horrors of World War 2 and its aftermath on the world.They felt the red scare from the cold war…

Generations each possess individual values, attitudes, and goals that strike them apart from one another, thus creating a gap. This gap is like a barrier that keeps the different generations distinct. The previous generations have played a big role in shaping the newest generation by offering help to them. However, the current generation seemed to have developed a different attitude about life and themselves. Amy Tan's short story, "The Rules of the Game,” shows the generation/culture gap…

My generation, Gen Z, is projected to be one of the most conservative generations yet, we very clearly buck the Churchill quote “ if you are not a socialist in your twenties you don't have a heart, if you are a socialist in your 40’s you don't have a brain.” But do we truly not have a heart. I would certainly say I do, at the very least, I've given many hours to charity, many dollars to charity, given a room in my house to help a homeless man get back on his feet. It should be noted however that…

Different age groups throughout the years have acquired a generic name that is used to describe the generation as one big group. The term Millennials have come about from the generation born between 1982 and 2004, and this group brings a lot of attention to themselves. Most of this attention gets brought about by the use of social media as this is the first generation, for the later born Millennials, who have never lived without the internet. These individuals are more focused on themselves and…

There are many differences and similarities between our generation and our parents generation. Our generation is unlike any other due to the rise in technology. This changes the way we do things even traditions. While the older generation did not have the technology we had. Both Generations don't always see eye to eye, however that isn't a bad thing nor is it a good one. One difference between the generations is that the our parents generation had to work hard for everything they got. On the…

As a millennial myself I felt as if this article was sometimes true, but for the most part not factual nor accurate. In fact the author Ellen Byron comes off as biased too often. Stated in paragraph it says that millennials grew up playing Xbox, playing soccer, and having dance recitals.It followed with a sentence saying we as millennials did not spend much time helping mom or dad in the yard. This is where I disagree. Growing up in our generation helping mom or dad in the yard would be…

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…

The millennial generation is often criticized for its narcissistic tendencies and lazy lifestyles. Though it is unrealistic to shine a negative light that inaccurately labels an entire group of people, it is also unfair to discredit millennials for the way they persevere through a damaged economy. As reported by Derek Thompson in his article, “The Economy Is Still Terrible for Young People”, a majority of millennials face the problem of having jobs that “don’t pay much” with wages that “aren’t…

Why is my generation, Generation Z, so discriminated against older generations? Older generations can learn some tricks and tips from us. Gen Z’s are always up to date. We can actually understand technology. Best of all, we Gen Z’s are very creative. People always assume that when Generation Z’s are on their phones we're being antisocial, but we're actually catching up on the latest events. We always know what’s going on in our world. Older people who’re never on technology whatsoever,…

Summary of “The New Greatest Generation” In “The New Greatest Generation” by Joel Stein, he states that the millennial generation, or narcissistic generation, will save us all. People think that because the millennial generation has depended so much on computers and the internet and themselves that they are in fact the worst generation so far. People believe “they are narcissistic, overconfident, entitled and lazy” (Stein 7) but Joel Stein believes otherwise. The millennials have grown up…
