Analysis Of Move Over, Millennials: Here Comes Generation

People naturally like to generalise over a large group, it puts less stress on our brain. One such generalisation is the generations that people talk about, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millenials, and Gen Z. In “Move Over, Millennials, Here Comes Generation Z” Alex Williams discusses a possible outcome of what Gen Z is to be as compared to the Millennials.

He is about to do what old people have done through history: stein said call those younger than him lazy, entitled selfish and shallow. He studies! He have statistic! Stein have quotes from respected academics! I am agreeing with stein theses points because if we can see around now the world we will see things we had never seen before. Unlike I can see the proof in my parents, my grandparents and great-grandparents. Every new generation becomes with new records in Olympics and other challenges. The generations become more challengers and more strong as we can see the people in their 20s that’s now 65 or older according to the national institutes of health;58% more college students

In Eric Hoover’s article, The Millennial Muddle, he describes how stereotyping and trying to understand students has become a major industry, especially with Millennials, since there are different adaptations and interpretations of this generation. It contains the different opinions from people who have studied this generation. Researchers try to figure out who Millennials are, how they think, why they always do what they do, and in those propositions and findings find them to contradict one another. Hoover then states that “in other words, they’re all different. But just for fun, let’s stereotype them as smart, successful, and lull of shakeable opinions.” Hoover does not deny these findings to be contradictory of what Millennials truly are.

Millennials are young humans who develop themselves in a foreign place called adulthood. In this generation, millennials are pressured to grow at the pace of other peers. This creates a constant flow of stress, which was not as remarkable in previous generations. Thus the progression of society is at an impasse. I agree with Simon Sinek’s arguments with the split of four areas in focus of parenting, technology, patience, and environment.

Joel Stein uses his article in TIME Magazine, “Millennials: The Me Me Me Generation” to address the underlying issues and positives of the millennial generation by using various forms of data, statistics and negativity. While he is mostly successful with his tactics, he goes to such extremes with his negativity that he loses some of his audience before he even has a chance to talk about anything else. Stein spends much of his article speaking about how the Millennial generation is lazy, however research suggests that the Millennials aren’t necessarily lazy, but are held in place for various reasons outside of their control.

Generation Y are less brand loyal and the speed of the Internet has helped with the flexibility to change in its fashion, style consciousness and where and how it is communicated with. Lastly, Generation Y whichranges from 1995-2012. According to Generational Kinetics there are currently over 23 million Gen Z in the United States. Gen Z members are still largely kids and adolescents but have earlyindications of being increasingly self-aware, self-reliant, innovative and goal-oriented.One key difference from Millennials and Gen Z is that they don’t remember a time before social media. As a result, they tend to live much more of their entire lives from interacting with friends and family to making major purchases online and via their smartphones. Therefore, Gen Z kids will grow up with a highly sophisticated media and computer environment and will be more Internet savvy and expert than their Gen Y

Housing options are increasingly becoming a challenge in the United States of America. Competition is at an all-time high, as age and population forcibly create irremediable problems. The main challenge is being posed by baby boomers and millennials in the real estate market. For instance, many Americans depend on mortgages to finance their asset acquisitions. Income levels are plummeting, while the increase in mortgage rates and prices make it hard for many Americans to be able to afford various mortgage products that are being offered by financial institutions. Although housing options have arguably been growing at everlasting rate through construction, millennials might have an increasingly more difficult time relocating after college due

In Joey Koyle’s article, “Are Millennials the Screwed Generation?”, Koyle argues from a subjective and objective point of view that the current millennials are an inadvertently screwed generation. Koyles “shows” and “tells” his readers that as a result of the current economy, the rising increase of national debt, the lag into adulthood, the stress that comes with owning a home, and the right and left wing political parties make it almost impossible for young adults to become financial stable Americans. Koyle does not believe that young adults are not financial responsible. Rather, unable to succeed as a result of the policies that used to run this country.

Every generation is separated into groups. Within a certain set of time, a significant amount of information can develop or change. A few years after the Great Depression the generation of Baby Boomers began ranging from 1946 to 1964. There were numerous inventions and improvements such as: cars, cell phones, and computers. Through the years 1996 to 2010 Generation Z stepped into the spotlight. Even though, start to finish there is a 64-year difference between the oldest and youngest of these two generations, there is something that holds them together, while at the same time makes them each unique. Between the generations there are the differences including lifestyles, forms of technology, how their health was taken care of, and which issues were more prominent yet having some similarities.

“The kids of today are throwing society away,” cry the Baby Boomers meanwhile the Millennial and youths are tweeting that the “olds ruined our country, our society and our planet.” Both groups are transfixed in this eternal smear campaign with each declaring the other to be morally repulsive and ignorant to their values, but this is rather ironic as each generation has been just as progressive and equally rebellious to society as the generation that came before it. Millennials and Baby Boomers aren’t even that different: they each fight for social change and justice, both create their own culture and find their own way to achieve nirvana, and neither really know where they’re going in life, yet both seek economic prosperity. Take this slightly

The older generations seem to think that millennials are causing problems with today’s society. However, we have done just the opposite. With these horrendous acts of racism, sexism, and homophobia going around, most young people of this generation are trying to stop these events. More and more often, you will turn on the news and see a boycott of a company or product, or more recently, protests of Donald Trump’s election. Where exactly have we learned this from? Our founding fathers. This entire country was based on people wanting to make a change. Whether or not the changes are done with guns or words, revolution is in America’s blood.

Most people have a learning style that mirrors how they were taught when they were younger. It should be noted that there is not a one size fits all method when it comes to learning. The key to being able to appeal to each of the different generations is to offer diversity in teaching styles in order to satisfy the different preferences. As of now, there are four generations that are in the workforce and those four generations are: The Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and the Millennials. This paper will examine the characteristics of these four generations, how their learning styles differ, and what to

Generation, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary, refers to all of the people born and living at about the same time. There are six living generations in America. The GI generation, Mature/Silent, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y or Millenniums, and Generation Z. People from these generations are all different. Every generation has distinctive likes, aversions, and traits. A person’s birth date does not always match his generation’s characteristics. However, as a typical group, they have similarities. A generation has responsibilities to the one which precedes because they are the ones who have been left with problems such as, poverty, rapid climate change, international terrorism, and are responsible

Researchers, studying the Millennials, have not came up with specific birth years of when the generation starts or ends. However, decades of the 1980s to the 2000s are used to show the range. It is said “the millennial generation is the biggest in US history—even bigger than the Baby Boom” (Millennial Infographic. n.d.). The Millennials have become very easily set apart for various reasons. The characteristics shared by the Millennials are apart of why they are different. Some of the differentiating characteristics are the use of technology, the openness to change (referred to as the liberal

Self-entitled, arrogant, and the one word that degrades today’s generation of young-adults the most, lazy. This is how journalist, Joel Stein, explains the millennial generation as, in his article, The ME ME ME Generation. For Stein to categorize 75.5 million people into a sub-category which he describes as being narcissistic and fame-obsessed obscures the contribution and positive influence that has emerged from this progressive group these past three decades. While trying to point out all the negative traits associated with the millennial generation, including narcissistic and entitled behaviors, Stein overlooks the remarkable impact from a young, motivated age group, represented by entrepreneurs, role models, and technologically
