As GenX circles middle age, there seems to be a re-evaluation of who they are and what’s important to them. While Millennials are grabbing the world by the horns and adventuring forward, GenX is trying to get unstuck and live a more fulfilling and rewarding life. The relentless pace of an always-on technology-filled-sound-bite life coupled with the stress of their life stage – peak earning years, job stress and for many raising children - results in a life that is more focused on doing more than on being, observing, thinking and feeling. Through the collages and journaling of the EthnoBlogs, we see a target group who is feeling like life today has dumbed them down and they are not as thoughtful or empathetic as they used to be (pre-kids and/or …show more content…
The lack of familiarity reinforces the sense that other options are lower risk and more socially engaging. Then there’s also the perceived effort of planning a structured night out. This involves finding a theater-mate, coming up with pairing ideas to go with Steppenwolf, securing babysitting and working through commuting and parking concerns. In other words, if GenX and their peers don’t go, Steppenwolf becomes something out of the ordinary and the effort required to attend seems more arduous than it actually is. More awareness of the emotional reward of attending Steppenwolf and of the specific plays, as well as reinforcing the ease of getting tickets and making the night happen are important to engage this cohort. The awareness finding is consistent with prior research. This makes it challenging for Steppenwolf to get noticed and difficult to get on the consideration list for a night
Although Argentina and Colorado are very similar, they are different in two major ways. Their acceptance of others and language. Argentina fiercely tries to be European. This is often at the expense of indigenous and minority cultures. Argentines for example, pride themselves on being white.
As Eleanor Roosevelt said, “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” Millennials relish entertainment, parties, net working, a satisfying job and a rewarding paycheck. They work so many hours and sometimes don't have the time to check, organize social outings or gatherings. Thanks to the creativity and entrepreneurship of a Millennial no one has to worry about the details nor efforts for events they enjoy.
As GenX circles middle age, there seems to be a re-evaluation of who they are and what’s important to them. While Millennials are grabbing the world by the horns and adventuring forward, GenX is trying to get unstuck and live a more fulfilling and rewarding life. The relentless pace of an always-on technology-filled-sound-bite life coupled with the stress of their life stage – peak earning years, job stress and for many raising children - results in a life that feels overly routinized and superficial. Through the collages and journaling of the EthnoBlogs and echoed in the Roundtables, we see a target group who is feeling like life today has dumbed them down and they are not as thoughtful or empathetic as they used to be (pre-kids and/or before technology took over). Yet, lapsed and lighter patrons are motivated and interested in rekindling the part of themselves that doesn’t just react, but that notices more, thinks harder and feels more deeply about the world around them.
The purpose of Simon Sinek’s talk is to explain why Millennials are disillusioned, they are in a moral and societal gray area, and what society can do to help Millennials compensate.
This resource is a four-year overview of trends with Millennials. It also tracks the changes in methodology of their research. Their findings summarized as Millennials prefer to help people not institutions, they are strongly influenced by their peers and have frequent interaction with them, they treat their time, money, and skills with equal value, and they use media and technology to build their informal networks.

Altogether, the millennial generation can be seen as unrelenting heretics throughout their ideology against conformity, questioning authority and trust in government. Although the vast majority of these acts Millennials partake in are moral, the minority manage to favour disreputable behaviour that has led to the older generation labelling the millennial generation as uncontrollable, entitled, egocentric and shallow. However, Millennials should not be labelled based upon what a certain group of people participated in, rather on what the generation as an entirety believes in, which is equality for all in this
Millennials (born in 1980-2000) are comprised of people with completely different values than any other generation in the past. This difference in ideals has created a mean-spirited approach that often follows these age groups. Millennials represent the largest generation in US history and no matter how much they are dismissed, it’s impossible to ignore them. The revolutionary characteristics that come along with this generation have many advantages and improvements that are rarely discussed. “For example, 63.4 million adult Americans—nearly 27 percent of the population—volunteered to help charitable causes last year. That’s an increase from 2008 of roughly 1.6 million volunteers, the largest single-year jump since 2003” (Blum). The rate of increasing volunteerism points to the idea that people are becoming more compassionate, have a desire to help others, and are willing to fix issues that were previously strayed from. Also, millennials are the most active generation since the 1940’s. “The Baby Boomers (born 1945-1964) inactivity level was 33.7%, compared to that of millennials, which dropped to an average of 21%” (Physical Activity Council). Wellness has also become a key factor in people’s lives. “In 1998, the amount of people that disapprove smoking one or more packs of cigarettes a day was at 69%. In
So, therefore I agree with Sinek on his opinion of millennials and the difficulties that they face during life. Too many children have been praised beyond healthy, been given the same trophy which has taken away the need or the want to be better than anyone else, and their constraint reminder of their specialty ruins their self-image once they come to terms that they are not special, and what does this all lead to? A much harder life for everyone, a life where anything besides praise hurts, no one wants to be the best because there is no reason to anymore, and people having their self-image ruined because of life crashing down onto
Security refers directly to protection, and specifically to the means used to protect the privacy of health information and support professionals in holding that information in confidence. The concept of security has long applied to health records in paper form; locked file cabinets are a simple example. As use of electronic health record systems grew, and transmission of health data to support billing became the norm, the need for regulatory guidelines specific to electronic health information became more apparent.
From the kid of a refugee working at a 7-Eleven to save money for college to the African-American single mother waiting tables for tips, millenials are too diverse for the reductive hipster stereotype. The majority of millennials aren’t privileged, white, and middle-class, Hawking reminds readers.
Today, we hear so much about how great the older generations were and how my generation appears to have deteriorating moral standards, as well as a dangerous addiction to things of the technological sort. However, I believe that there are a plethora of skills, attitudes, and habits that my generation possesses that would be beneficial to the older generations. These include being open-minded, using technology, disregarding social barriers, letting go of grudges, and laughing more.
But are the Millennials worth the extra effort? Alongside studies that show the economic and social hardships of Millennials, are articles like Jean Twenge’s that outline some less than positive traits among this generation. Her study found that in comparison to Baby
“Generation X” (“Gen-Xers”), born from about 1960 – 1980, maintained some attributes typical of the “Baby Boomer” generation, but feel that their upbringing was too strict. They added an emphasis on work/life
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
