And Values Of The Future Generations

The purpose of the assignment was to interview an “elder” member of society to gain valuable information and insight into an individual’s experiences and development, and how they pertain to biosocial, cognitive, and psychosocial development. I had the pleasure of interviewing a woman aged 68, who provided a glimpse of the wisdom she has gained over her lifetime as well as her daily interactions and age-related topics.

The relationship we have with our elders is one of the most important relationships we can have. We can learn a great deal about life from elders who have already experienced some of what we’re going through. Rudolfo Anaya, the author of the essay “A Celebration of Grandfathers”, warns that part of humanity will be lessened if we don’t have close relationships with the elderly, and this phrase holds a lot of meaning. The amount that the elderly can teach us not just about life, but about challenges we will face, is incomparable. We learn morals, manners, and life lessons that will stick with us until we ourselves become elderly. Humanity will lessen if we lose our relationship with the elderly in the sense that we have lost the connection to

Have you ever had a time where you had to teach or got taught by another generation? Well in all of the stories and from personal experience one generation can learn from another in some type of way whether it is teaching about tech or learning how to love somebody. One Generation can teach the other generation to be patient, care about others, and value what they have.

According to Mrs. P, respect for elders, a good education, good family background and connections, religion, and good ethics for society, are values that are held highly within the family’s culture. Education and a highly held position in a career are very important

Drugs, promiscuous sex, birth control, and total happiness are the core values of the World State in the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In today’s society things like drug use and reckless sex are often seen as taboo, but in World State, these activities are glorified and even considered normal. Aldous Huxley attempts to address to readers the harsh realities and cruel ways of our society in an exaggerated form. His purpose in doing so is to open the eyes of society to what the world might come to if things like technology and humanity get out of hand. In the World State, the motto that people are conditioned to live by is “Community, Identity, and Stability”, all three of which are ironically twisted to encourage members of the society

This generational gap was what altered the development of real learning, for it allowed Generation Me children to assume that hard work was not needed to succeed and to learn. Due to the different mindset that was developed through the gap, self-esteem was not lacking in GenMe. So, it is understandable why Boomers felt that an individual should be more important than society. They had to go through life fighting for what they believed in, causing what Tannen calls the “human spirit” to take the blow (Tannen, 419). She states, “contentious public discourse becomes a model for behavior and sets the tone for how individuals experience their relationship to others and the society we live in” (Tannen, 419). Baby Boomers did not have self-esteem so they enforced it on their children, keeping them from ever feeling that way. The cause of them feeling this way is that “the human brain is almost infinitely malleable” (Carr, 70). That malleability was used by Baby Boomer parents in order for them to set a sense of self-esteem and individualism in their children. This alteration of their children’s minds was Boomer parents’ first mistake, for it did not allow children to discover their own worth. Rather, it supplied them with false encouragement, and prevented the possibility of engaging themselves in a society where everyone works together and is confident, but not individualistic.

“We all have respect for our elders because of their hard work. We wouldn’t be in the U.S. or have what we do now if it wasn’t for them”, Ivan stated during the interview. I interviewed Ivan Miranda; a native of Acapulco, Mexico, about elderly roles in his family. Ivans grandparents are the first and the oldest generation of his family in America, therefore, a majority of the answers are of direction of his family’s values towards his grandparents and the ethics that are taught by them. In addition, I came to understand more about his family’s thoughts on the importance of elderlies, along with the loss of their heritage’s way of life towards the elders.

In most environments it is customary for the older generation to aspire to transmit values and accepted norms to the next generation. Adults take pride in the responsibility they feel to educate young people. This effort facilitates maturity and helps develop youth into successful members of the already established society. As young people mature, they become more independent thinkers and begin to evaluate the society in which they inhabit. This inspection can produce some angst in young people and concern from adults. It is in these formative moments and years that young people search for truth - not one that they inherit, but rather one they can call their own. As a consequence of this purposeful, natural, and necessary reflection, individuals

After reading the article by Farag, Tullai-McGuinesss, & Anthony (2009), I will reflect upon my experiences in a leadership role dealing with various different age groups through numerous situations. The discussion will include the generation I generally identify with, with whom I tend to work best with, and how this affects my unit. I will also reflect on the author's conclusions and recommendations and how they will likely affect my area of practice.

Comparing two members of entirely different generations can be challenging because the age gap allows for many disagreements between the two. People of the older generation tend to believe that the younger generation is too trusting, and many young people say that the older generation is too uptight and outdated in their beliefs. However, if one wants to truly see how many similarities the two generations share, the short stories “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” by Flannery O’Connor and “Where are you Going, Where Have you Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates, are prime examples. The protagonist in “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” is a grandmother living in either the late 1940s or early 1950s, who thinks of herself as superior to all others and in “Where

It is important to understand our current generations and previous generations. Understanding generations’ differences can help us when serving the clients. Human service workers will be meeting clients not only from different cultures but also from different generation cohorts. Generation cohorts usually define as grouping people together who born 12-15 years apart and have common experiences. There are five generational cohort groupings: Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennial Generation (Generation Y) (The University of Iowa [UIOWA], 2009), and Generation Z. “Each generation has unique experiences that shape their behaviors and attitudes” (Kilber, Barclay, & Ohmer, 2014, p. 80).

I had to learn to better communicate with the generations above and below my own, and I had to create a method to transferring my ideas without agitating either of them. It truly gave me a better understanding of the different age groups as it forced me to form different ways to teach or to volunteer ideas. This collaboration also revealed to me just how differently the various generations are motivated. A child may be more easily taught in a group by a guide, but an adult can often require a separation from the group in order to admit that there ideas may be flawed. These distinct motivations meant all the difference in how a message or critique would be taken by the

As Americans, we believe in this notion of American Greatness and the moral values that include equality, individualism, and freedom for all.These values are stated in the pledge of allegiance, however, our action speaks louder than our words. As Americans we expect to follow those moral values that are integrated in our society, but instead we of following these values we abuse it by oppressing and promoting violence. Americans strongly believe in the moral value that is the foundation of American Greatness but we as a society contradict those values with the action we take causing complexity in this notion.

Each generation has certain characteristics and values with which the members of it can identify. Members of Generation X highly value their job and family time; so they try to find a balance between these two aspects of their lives. Generation X are hardworking people, but they are

The emergence of novel forms of communication in American history tends to produce two contrasting reactions: general acceptance from society and moral outrage from a limited, vocal portion of the public. As a medium, film was met in such a fashion with the creation of the Production Code Administration in 1934, designed by Catholic leaders to uphold their conception of American values. At the same time, the example of Middletown depicted a rural community incorporating the experience of film into their regular lives, treating it as entertainment alongside shows at the opera house. Decades later, we see film utilized to criticize the social impact of emerging communicative methods, including television and social media in the form of Network (1976) and The Social Network (2010). A method of universal programing, by which centralized, censored content is broadcast in synchronous to an audience discriminant only by which of the four major networks they choose to view is the portrayal of television afforded by the characters aimed to garner the most sympathy in Network. The voices of reason and morality in the film, older folks seen as untainted by television and corporate greed condemn television for replacing genuine human interaction with hollow facades of conformity and pre-scripted emotions. While concerns over lacking human connection and false human emotions remain, social media has produced a new problem, a
