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…

It is a well known assumption that Millennials have a relatively easy life, being born into the era of booming technological marvels while having a surplus of everything. Technology brought them closer together and makes work easier. It also makes Millennials’s way of life more different than any older generations. As Millennials are not just being considered lazy by other generations, studies also found out that they considered themselves as “greedy, self-absorbed and wasteful”. Personally, I…

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…

Members of the Lost Generation are known for being apathetic expatriates who go against traditional relationships, religion, and gender stereotypes. Since this generation is uncertain for their future, they don’t trust their political leaders and use alcohol to escape their reality. Generation Z is quite similar to the Lost Generation. Various people have argued that my generation is the next Lost Generation due to the indistinguishable qualities they share. Within the first chapter of The Sun…

As I compare myself to my 65 year-old father, I have noticed some striking differences based on our generations, a type of birth cohort which is named and typified. My father is a part of the Baby Boomers generation who benefits the greatest financially, where that generation is most affluent, whereas the millennials are the poorest because we are inheriting all the debt from older generations. I think it is interesting to see how the brain thinks differently between a younger and older…

In the articles “Are Millennials the 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…

In their article in the New York Times, Todd Buchholz and Victoria Buchholz argue that Americans are somehow failing as a group. The so-called "Generation Y" is becoming complacent, not working toward making their lives (and the country) better off. The article is certainly intended to capture its audience's attention, with the title "The Go-Nowhere Generation. In it, they use hard data from the Pew Research Center and studies conducted at universities, among others. More interestingly, perhaps,…

The millennial generation is as the most selfish generation American has experienced. Millennials crave for what they want now. They crave to have the latest gadget, the latest relation, the latest news, and the latest trends. Millennials are very naive and very liberal. I am a millennial. I belong to this generation. However, not everything I just mentioned defines who I am. I am not easily persuaded by the latest trend. I am perfectly content with the previous trends. I am very slow to change…

Which characteristics best define my generation? Do they spend wildly, or are they proficient savers? Do they possess a sense of optimism about the future, or a sense of dread for what is to come? These questions, while relevant to the discussion at hand, are nonetheless unnecesary. There is only one thing we need to know: We are the triggered generation. At a time when our nation is so polarized and angry, any naive fool would conjecture that the young generation would work to bridge the…

If you grew up listening to Britney Spears, The Backstreet Boys, or can name a song from Justin Bieber, you might be a millennial. Anyone who was born during 1980- 2000 is known as a millennial. The Millennial Generation has negative assumptions regarding their character and integrity. My birth year being 1998 distinguishes me in this category. When people view as a young adult, they will view the typical lazy millennial. My age is a part of my identity and it affects how people judge who I am…
