Through author Simon Sinek’s interview on Tom Bilyeu’s talk show Inside Quest, Sinek portrays views and opinions on “Millennials” through a thorough explanation on what exactly that means, and the characteristics that fits one in such a category. In Sinek’s interview Sinek says that a millennial is someone born between 1984 to present. Within the discussion, Sinek makes claims that people belonging to this category feel they are entitled to everything. Sinek goes on to say that once they enter into the real world, and are expected to do things for themselves, they discover that it is not that easy. Sinek says these Millennials suffer from low self esteem because of this entitlement and their lack of success. Later to blame these outcomes on …show more content…

I have it on my person at all times so that I can text, call, Snapchat, tweet and post on Facebook. I spend far too long deciding which picture of the day will be the most worthy to post on my Instagram page. I thrive on the amount of likes that I get and try to outdo that number every time. In Sinek's video he states “ It’s why we count the likes, it’s why we go back ten times to see it and if it’s going if our midst of my Instagram is going slower and I what I did, did I do something wrong, do they not like me anymore.” Sinek would consider me a classic millennial. For example, my friends came and visited me in Dallas, Texas over Christmas break. We spent the day taking pictures of ourselves all around Dallas doing adventurous things, so that we could pick out a good one to post on Instagram. That night at dinner instead of enjoying each others company while we ate, we sat on our phones trying to decide which picture of us looked the best. Once we posted our favorite picture we spent way too much time staring at our phones looking at who would get the most likes. Doing these things on my phone often replaces many opportunities for me to actually interact with my friends and takes away from enjoying my surroundings in the

  • Effects Of Media Blackout

    I did allow myself to use my cell phone for texting during this 24 hour period, but I did turn off notifications for every other app. My mother is the only one that texts me, and most of my friends use messenger apps like GroupMe, Snapchat or Facebook Messenger to communicate, and after the experiment I received a lot of accusations that I was ignoring my friends. I did warn most of my friends that I was going “off the grid” for a bit. It was interesting to see who was actually listening, in that sense. On the bright side, when I came back, I received a lot of pictures and videos of cute animals. It was also interesting to see how much time my peers spend on their phones. I was out getting dinner with some friends, and we went about 20 minutes before someone checked their phone. As soon as one person checked their phone, the rest of the group went immediately for their phones. Even I felt the compulsion to check my phone. This opened the floodgates, and after the initial 20 minute span, not 5 minutes passed before someone else checked their phone. This phenomenon interested me, and it is one of the most cited examples when older generations complain about millennials on their phones. “They’re not engaging!” they cry, “How can you make human contact if you’re always on your phone?” This can be a valid critique. Still, I’ve noticed that people of older generations have a drastically different

  • Baby Boomers Vs. Millennials

    1148 Words  | 3 Pages

    When the Baby Boomer generation was questioned about the newer generation, these words and phrases was often used: “slacker”, “lazy”, “has it easy”, “entitled”, “obsessed with their phones/internet/games” and “antisocial”. On the other hand, Millennials (or Generation Y) would say this about their older counterpart: “entitled”, “ruined it for those who followed”, “had it easier”, “narcissists”, “stubborn”, and “materialistic”. The reason for why the elders would see it that way is because they had to live without the quick solutions that teens have nowadays. This “elders bashing on the newer generation” isn’t uncommon, as seen by what was recovered from Aristotle’s and Plato’s time (Rampell 389). For Millennials, some of their tension comes from the fact that they will be the first generation earning less than previous generation for the same amount of work (Roos). Not only that, but the prices for land property, and college education, which is needed in many jobs nowadays, has skyrocketed compared to their parent’s and grandparent’s. Due to this wealth gap, it sparked a lot of tension between the generations, and this can be seen in smaller environments, such as in the

Using an occasionally humorous tone, Stein summarizes the typical bleak view that older people have for the younger generation, before offering what he believes is closer to the truth. In the end, he decides that while millennials are not without their flaws and vices, a lot of the fears that older people are mostly due to the advanced technology that we are now dealing with. By the end of the article, it is my opinion that Stein makes a very fair summarization and is correct in his idea that to write off the entire generation is unfair towards younger people.
