Recommended: Essays On Generation Z

As we entered into the new millennium society was faced with new challenges that would create different ways of thinking and how society thinks. Our world would take on different ideas of past generations. No more of the conventional thinking of roles that are played by men and women in society. The millennium gave people a voice to create and become other than their parents. New generations became tech savvy, went to school, and learned to juggle work, family and education at the same time. Unlike their parent which had more traditional roles and believed that in order to be successful you must work over 40 hours and be away from home and not take time out to enjoy life. The obstacles and opinions that were seen by older adults, called …show more content…

According to Bauerlein (2008) and Twenge ( 2006), “They feel entitled and are coddled, disrespectful, narcissistic and impatient, the authors of, “ The Dumbest Generation” and “ Generation Me.” With all the new technology that allows people to make life much easier to have communication with the world with just a touch of a button. It’s understandable to think that Generation Z, are not equipped to be able to understand the sacrifices that were made to build this country on the foundation that of the Baby Bloomers did in their …show more content…

I believe that with the creation of the internet it has made life much easier, it still amazes me that we are able to do so many things that we were not able to do before this technology. For example, when I was going to school it was nothing to get on the bus or train to go to the library or have to stay after school for study groups because you had that big exam. When computers first came out just learning the DOS system was a big thing on your Apple computer, now we can do everything and more without even going outside. So why would you blame a generation if they believe that it is easier to work less to get what they want. In my opinion, it is easy to agree with both sides that each generation has much to offer to each other, nothing is gained without hard work, and with improved technology, jobs that use to need labors to are controlled by robots and other sources that can do the job faster and

  • Analysis: The Dumbest Generation

    786 Words  | 2 Pages

    It’s possible that Millennials may not be the brightest on certain facts as discussed by R. Smith Simpson in Are We Getting Our Share of the Best? Yet, neither is the rest of the country, shown when Simpson says, “Americans abroad are asked a great many questions about their country... A good half of our candidates could answer such questions with only the thinnest recital of facts; many could not discuss them at all”. This proves that all of Americans (not just Millennials) couldn’t answer certain questions, making it wrong to undermine Millennials by titling them as the dumbest generation. Another reason this title would be incorrect is because of the fact that Millennials’ thinking capacity is actually expanding. According to Sharon Begley in The Dumbest Generation? Don’t Be Dumb, “IQ scores in every country... have risen since the 1930s... the tests measure not knowledge but pure thinking capacity... then Gen Y’s [(Millennials)] ignorance of facts (or the facts that older people believe are important) reflects not dumbness but choice.” Therefore, if younger people and older people are the same in recalling facts about their country, but Millennials’ IQ scores are rising how could they be “the dumbest generation”?

    The major technology change that has had the greatest impact on the quality of my life is the spread of uses for the Internet. The wide range of uses for the internet has extremely benefited my life. I use the Internet to keep in touch with my family from College and with my brother who is in the Air Force in Georgia. I also use the Internet to talk to my long-distance boyfriend so my phone bill doesn't get too large. I also use the Internet in a highly educational way. Not only can I take my college courses online (which is much better for me because I teach myself much better than a professor or teacher can teach me), but it can teach me about anything else I would like to know.

    These generations of young people are the future, not only of the United States of America but also of the world. Young people will bring change and will hopefully make the world a better place. However, they cannot make the future a brighter place if they are disheartened at a young age from trying to achieve the impossible.

  • 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

    Critics of this generation have some pretty negative things to say about the Millennials, which are being interpreted in a way that is casting a shadow on their future in politics. Joel Stein, writer for Time magazine, calls them “lazy, entitled, selfish, and shallow” and defends that claim with “the incidence of narcissistic personality disorder is nearly three times as high for people in their 20s as for the generation that’s now 65 or older” (Stein 28). Those critics then take that idea and assume that they will not get up and vote. They then take it even further and...

  • Difference Between Baby Boomers And Millennials

    Every person belongs to a generation: you associate yourselves with a particular set of people usually based on age such as “Baby Boomers” from 1946 to 1964, “Generation X” from 1965 to 1979, and “Millennials” from 1980 to 2000, (Smola, 364). Parents’ generations differ from their children, and sometimes within their significant other. My parents, separated by two years, are both considered “Baby Boomers”, and my sister and I, also separated by two years are both considered “Millennials”. “Generation X” separates our generations, and as you can assume there are many differences between the two: “Baby Boomers” experienced the immense development of the economy and education (Kupperschmidt, 4).
