Do Millennials Stand A Chance In The Real World?

For example, in the dialogue between Montag and Faber, Faber says to Montag, ‘“But our way is simpler and, we think, better. All we want to do is keep the knowledge we think we will need intact and safe. We’re not out to incite or anger anyone yet. For if we are destroyed, the knowledge is dead, perhaps for good”’ (152).

We can only do as much, or as well, as we know to do; and if that does not work, then one must ask: What am I to do? That is an excellent question, for it holds value for those who are willing and able to reveal its answer. The value of a well-formed question is found in the answer that it holds; that is, if by raising that question, we are able to behold the answer within it. Although I consider philosophical, theological, and rhetorical questions to be valuable when seeking insight and understanding, these are questions that are not meant to illicit a response, and therefore, they have no practical value. The only value of such questions is that they leave us open to other questions which may hold the answer. For example, when wondering

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.

“I have studies! I have statistics!” (par. 20) claims Joel Stein, a regular contributor for the TIME magazine. In “The New Greatest Generation: Why Millennials Will Save Us All,” Stein writes about the millennials, people born between 1980 and 2000. Using a very clever gimmick, he points out the unfavorable features of millennials at the beginning of his article, just to create a stronger rebuttal afterwards. He claims that the “millennials’ self-involvement is more a continuation of a trend than a revolutionary break from previous generations… [and] they’ve just mutated to adapt to their environment” (Stein par. 14). By utilizing rhetorical devices and various writing approaches, Joel Stein attempts to persuade the older generations to reconsider their opinion of millennials and presents his claim that the millennials inherited their characteristics from previous generations and have adapted to their environment.

The reasons for challenging opinions and beliefs about the world are numerous. One reason, for example, is that when people holding different views engage in discussion, the opportunity to sharpen critical thinking skills is created, which are essential for every area of life. However, it’s not within the scope of this blog series to delineate every reason, just to cover what I believe to be the most imperative.

Within this report I am going to state how the King’s Cross Underground fire in 1987 happened and the evacuation process that the authorities followed. I am also going to state why this incident led to the identification of a method of fire propagation known as the “trench effect”.

By taking the Mandated Reporter Training, I learned that by law, when the victim is under age 18, and perpetrator is any person, any physical injury, sexual abuse, cruelty, injury, and neglect must be reported by all legally mandated reporters. Physical abuse including abusive bruises and burns, broken bones, and any injury with a delay in seeking treatment or medical care. Also, when parents using objects such as belts or whips to discipline the child, it counts as physical abuse incident. But what is not physical abuse? Usually a reasonable and necessary force used by an officer or a person employed by a public school is not count as a physical abuse. After that, I think sexual abuse is even more severe than physical abuse, including inappropriate

Ray Bradbury had once aforementioned,” You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. You just have to get people to stop reading them.” This is delineating the idea of burning intelligence, opinions, records, and thoughts. People are not immortal, but people are suddenly forced to depart Earth at one point, so they abandon something that is imperishable to the world, books. Thus, burning books, one human’s most common brainchild, creations, and possessions, would be a catastrophe. It would be the genesis of setting flames and committing arson to people. Although Ray Bradbury had not distinctly displayed the message in his words, he signified it as delivering teachings of wisdom will come to a conclusion. Also, Ray Bradbury depicts how culture and how it alters and impacts the principles of our life is significant.

I am writing to you to request for approval to take a field trip to Jamestown and Yorktown. The purpose of this field trip is to conclude our social studies unit on the Virginia Settlement and to introduce our next unit on the American Revolutionary War. Through the past few weeks my class has been studying about the history of the start of American colonies, specifically focusing on our state, as the first colony founded. Students have been discussing important people in this era. We have talked about Captain John Smith, Pocahontas, Wahunsonacock, Powhatan tribe, King James I, John Rolfe and many others. Students have learned about the struggles and the hard work that was put in to start the first colony of America in Jamestown Virginia. Through

Published in Time magazine on May 20, 2013, “The New Greatest Generation – Why Millennials Will Save Us All,” by Joel Stein, proposes that millennials are a generation of entitled, self-involved narcissists, but have the potential of bettering society. He begins the article by condemning them, then shifts his point and gives reasons why they are changing the way that the world is working. Although Joel Stein’s article includes factual information, it becomes ineffective due to its bias, generalizations, and euphemisms used to further his argument.

statistics are from donors self-reporting. Although anonymity was available, a person typically rates themselves higher than they actually give. From the Barna research statistics, only 20% of Christian Americans consider biblical stewardship a priority and that at varying levels of commitment.

Every work environment is teeming with people from various generations. Though, the majority of people wish for a healthy work environment this is not the easiest to come by. People from these different generations have different ways of looking at the world. They were raised differently and though theoretically want the same things they want to reach these goals in different ways. Rising to leadership, the understanding of technology, adapting in the workplace, and communication are the four criteria you need to know to understand how the people of Generation X and Millennials function together in the workplace.

The upcoming generation, millennials, are a new type of generation. They have proven to be the most educated generation, despite the hard times in the economy. Yet they still face criticism from their elders on their work ethic. Although they seem to all be lazy and not interested in working, not all millennials are like that. They just have different values in life, and balance work life with free time. Millennials have faced a lot of criticism on their work ethic, which has many questioning do millennials have a strong work ethic. They are said to be lazy narcissistic tech addicts, who don’t take any job seriously and slack off. What most don’t know is that the economy hasn’t been in the greatest of shape, this makes work ethic hard to

Austin Cline also wrote, “Books are merely the means by which a message is communicated; eliminating them may slow the growth of the message, but it certainly can’t eliminate the message itself.” I strongly agree with this belief because destroying books can never truly stop the growth and spread of a message.

Many changes are happening in the workforce today. Our labor environment consists of multiple generations, which creates fundamentally differing approaches to everything from work ethics, business management, and co-worker cooperation. The most recent generation, commonly known as “Generation Y” or the “Millennial” generation, is slowly taking over the workforce. Because they bring with them a radically new mindset and opinion of labor, the global business infrastructure should be modified to not only accommodate “Millennials,” but also to remain sympathetic to the business practices characteristic of previous generations. Doing so will provide more harmony and productivity among co-workers of different generational backgrounds.
