My generation varies greatly because, as much as the melting pot of the world America is, cultural aspects or geographical factors affect one’s way of thinking to what is important. Culture is the most broad word to use as a way to collect one’s opinions or as a way of life to define how that person thinks or acts, respectively. Therefore, it would only be fitting that I tell you about my culture that relates to the event that I believe defines my generation. Christianity is something that I believe defines me as a whole or would at least want to. To make it clear before I describe my thoughts about the event, I believe that God is love itself. To me, my God’s Will is above everything else without question. His Judgement is perfect and absolute. He creates all and watches over all. He knows all as much as the whole existence of dark matter of the whole universe. He never hates but does feel sacrifice and disappointment as mentioned in the stories of the Bible. I don’t feel to want to bore you, but to help you keep in mind how I know my God and my thoughts. …show more content…
Many great friends in high school have ‘came out the closet’ to me and my opinion of them. To this day, I still believe that they are amazing people. I still feel very proud of them. I believe that they will go far into the future and be successful individuals. However, on websites like Tumblr and Twitter, some of the homosexual community has been openly ridiculing heterosexuals or even Christians. Transgenders have also been critical but not as much as the homosexual part of the community. I never met someone who was transgender, but like anyone else different than or even the same as me, I accept them. However, the only thing that makes me disappointed to them is that God made you the sex that you are. As mentioned earlier, God is perfect; He never makes mistakes. Even so, God is loving and accepting of all and is fully aware of your
For all teens, the transition into adulthood is generally seen as a challenging and scary process. For teens diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as well as their caregivers, this transition is often more complicated. The period of transition for individuals with ASD into adulthood is intensely more challenging due to their “unique characteristics, the lack of services that address the special needs of such individuals in adulthood, and the expectations of society for a typical path to adulthood in the face of atypical problems” (Geller and Greenberg, 2009, pg. 93). Without the necessary resources to transition, teens with ASD find themselves unprepared for life at work, in college, or community living. Through this paper, the reader will obtain knowledge in regards to what ASD is, the barriers it yields concerning the transition into adulthood, and the effects it has on the individual as well
This I Believe – Whether I like it or not, my childhood shaped who I am today.
And to dig deeper, we need to realize that we are all human beings. Regardless if you come from a different background, ethnicity, religion, or decision, we are all the same species. Additionally, we have to realize that no matter what are beliefs are, we cannot and should not attempt to change anyone to fit our own beliefs. Truthfully, we just need to learn when to walk away. If someone’s decision to be transgender bothers you, walk away. Instead of promoting hatred or showing our disgust in an individual, walk away. At the end of the day, that individual is going to make their own decision whether you agree with it or not. Why let that bother us if it has nothing to do with us? Overall, our generation needs to focus on our own decisions rather than someone else 's. No matter how many transgender parades are held, how many people are preaching for it, and how much publicity a transgendered celebrity gets, nothing can save our generation from this hatred as realization can.
As I have been reading memoirs about memory for this class, each essay made me recall or even examine my past memory closely. However, the more minutely I tried to recall what happened in the past, the more confused I got because I could not see the clear image and believe I get lost in my own memory, which I thought, I have preserved perfectly in my brain. The loss of the details in each memory has made me a little bit sentimental, feeling like losing something important in my life. But, upon reading those essays, I came to realize that remembering correct the past is not as important as growing up within memory. However, the feelings that were acquired from the past experience tend to linger distinctly. The essay that is related to my experience

Not Only Are Millennials Redefining Adulthood but Are They Changing the American Dream as Well?
Coming to age means various things in different cultures, religions and regions in the world. As an example, in the Jewish religion coming of age happens when a boy or girl reaches the age of thirteen and has a Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah, which symbolizes reaching religious maturity. On the other hand, coming to age is not about turning a certain age or being able to bare a child, but rather coming to terms with your personal identity. Coming to terms with your personal identity does not happen over night, it entails finding yourself and accepting yourself as an individual. Moreover, in the short story, “Birthmark” and the excerpt of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the night, they depict characters that have a hard time coming to terms with themselves. In both scenarios the characters face adversities that the majority of the population do not face which makes them feel like outcasts. Additionally, both characters come-to-age by finding their personal identity through all of the tribulations that they face.

Members of the Y Generation include those born between the years 1982 and 1994. A generation is known as a group of people born in a particular period who would have experienced similar events or experiences while growing up. There are often negative connotations made against members of the Y Generation, as they are known for being spoilt, overly confident and too dependent on social media and technology. They are the first generation to have grown up with high-definition television, mobile phones, internet and social media. Generation Y are possibly more interested in the environment, caring and community orientated than previous generations. The majority of this generation is now in young adulthood and starting their careers. They make up most of the young singles and couples market and are a very critical group of consumers. Many of the claims made about Generation Y are based on little evidence and contradictory, this report seeks to examine these claims.
Generation Z- Pe Internal I am a 16 year old girl, I have a short attention span, I like things fast pace and outgoing, and things crazy and extreme. I am influenced by technology and media everyday in almost everything and anything I do. I don’t care about the world’s delimas, crisis and epidemics.
Lately it seems like everyone is "coming out" as lgbtq because it seems like the coolest thing to do. Kids at school don't understand that just a few years ago, coming out was horrible. In the past few years, so much has changed for the LGBTQ Community. Marriage is being legalized all over the place, and people are learning to speak out about their rights. Six years ago, my parents found out I was bisexual after they went through my computer. My mom screamed, cried, threw things, and questioned me relentlessly. She couldn't possibly understand what it was that I was going through. At school, I was bullied and pushed around because I was that "weird little lesbian". In a small school of just a little under 200, once one person knew something about you, everyone knew your secret. The world dropped out from underneath my feet.
Very Late Adulthood: Ageism. America's older population is growing at an alarming rate. Statistical evidence indicates growth amongst the very late adult age group. For instance, the CB (2011) found that, between 1960 and 1994, the population group 85 and older had risen by 274 percent in contrast to the general elderly population that rose to 100 percent. The upsurge of the elderly population could potentially escalate occurrences of ageism and abuse within the cohort.
When you consider ageism, you think about people being labeled as other 's sees fit. It 's just another term to judge or deny people of their humanity. When you think about people in their late adulthood what comes to mind? Some may think about gray hair, saggy skin, dentures, and a wheelchair. So my question is why? According to (Palmore, 2005, p. 90) “Ageism is a social disease, much like racism and sexism” in that it considers people as part of a category and not as individuals, creating “needless fear, waste, illness, and misery.” The more people grow and develop, they will learn that aging must go on.
Adulthood has often been associated with independence. It serves as a turning point in life where one has to take responsibility for oneself and no longer being dependent on his or her family. Early adulthood, usually begins from late teens or early twenties and will last until the thirties (Santrock, 2013). Early adulthood revolves around changes and exploration while middle and late adulthood are more of stability. The transition from adolescence and adulthood differs among every individual. The onset of the transition is determined by many factors such as culture, family background, and the personality of the individual. Emerging adulthood (as cited in Santrock, 2014) is the term to describe the transition period from adolescence to adulthood.
Generation Z is determined to change the future and is at an advantage over all previous generations to do so. This group is those born between the years 1995 and 2012, whom are currently ages 4 to 21. Statistics show Gen Z is extremely mature for their age with the lowest levels of drug use, alcohol consumption, smoking, and teenage pregnancy in decades, as stated by JWTIntelligence. This demonstrates that they are future orientated. Generation Z is unified, diverse, realistic, and technologically advanced, making them the generation with the power to impact the world.
