Spontaneous generation

One of the cities I believe millennials love the most is Austin, Tx. That might sound weird considering the stereotypical millennial and the stereotypes surrounding Texas. Millennials are more liberal, artsy, young, hipster, nonreligious, and open to change, whereas Texas is stereotyped as old, southern, conservative, dogmatic, traditionalist, and pious protestant christian. So, why would a millennial think anything remotely related to Texas, let alone a Texas city, would be cool? Well, Austin,…

very materialistic because they feel that their unhappiness will be solved by filling their lives with money, alcohol, and other expenditures. Many of the people after World War I seemed to lack direction in life; they were later called the “lost generation” for this reason. Cohn, Brett, and many others tend to be constantly drinking, dining, and going out with friends. Jake is the only one that one ever sees going to work and earning his living, while Cohn and Brett have enough money to support…

yourself, don’t do things that are easy just to get by. This quote really applies to our generation. We have too many people only doing enough to get by with. There are also people who are afraid to succeed, they are scared of others reactions, or comments. Most people just want to fit in with others, so if most people are only doing just enough to get by then, they will do what others are doing. Yes our generation is very lazy, we rely on things being given to us and everything to be easy.…

We call the generation of youth in the 1920s The Lost Generation. Oh Faulkner, Hemmingway, and Fitzgerald we call them lost because of their questions about manhood. It’s said that because of their questions, but was their generation really all that unique? This current generation has questions, no they aren’t questions about manhood, but questions about what social interaction really is, and what will it mean in our lives. In Ernest Hemmingway’s novel, The Sun Also Rises, Hemmingway shows how…

Education is an important gift because it opens up doors to career opportunities and diverse lifestyles. The first person in my family to graduate college was my older sister, also my great aunt didn’t even finish her high school career. Education is the most important gift to my generation because of increasing opportunities and ability to…

Unsafe Situation Every crime scene is different and the crime scene investigator should always be prepared for different scenarios that might arise at a scene. If the crime scene investigator fails to examine each crime scene properly it could harm the investigation as well as make it difficult to identify and convict the perpetrator. Some crime scenes might have unsafe situations like the crime scene that was found on Mother’s Day, 2001. A body of a male that seems to be around his 40’s, was…

My initial reaction when I learned about the ‘Stolen Generation’ was absolute shock. I began to analyse and question myself why I was so shocked. I found several reasons, this includes: (1) my lack of knowledge; (2) I am an immigrant; (3) my early education was from the Philippines; (4) the early information I have for Indigenous Australians is based on what I have been told by my sister and her white Australian husband; (5) my own prejudice and bias towards Indigenous Australians. Firstly,…

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…
