I add this link from BBC in Oct discussing this issue where we generalize so much, ESPECIALLY in the USA.
BBC - Capital - What everyone gets wrong about 'millennial snowflakes'
Did you realize that children living with their parents peaked in the 1940's, and is NOT a phenom of the current age ?
The author ends this with this.....
"So basically, millennials are the same as other generations were at their age. Only a little different. More global, maybe. More diverse. More progressive. Definitely poorer. But a unique group of monsters, the entitled wrath of which the world has ever seen before? I’m not so sure."
This is not a serious study but simple an observation that I agree with. To make ourselves feel good, we tend to make any other generation the bad guys, the worst ever.
Changes happen and we are quick to judge, but somehow we always are the best ever and the young folks are the worst. THAT does not seem to change ever.
Personally, I think it would be great if we stopped judging based on the dumbest things and started listening to each other, helping each other, and learning from each other |
YAY! Bucco!
I like what you wrote. I bet we would get along just fine. I don’t care what generation you are from. And yes, my name is Boomer.
(I think there are a bunch of people who are mad at the millennials because the millennials don’t want their stuff — literally and/or figuratively.)
