Lessons Learned From One Generation

My thoughts in this presentation are individual and reflect my lifestyle, my learnings, my culture and my opinions, and although many other Aboriginal people around the country may relate to my words, mine is only one of many voices. What I have seen and reflected on is what I see and hear when I volunteer at The Princess Alexandra Hospital in The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Hospital Liaison Service. I sometimes sit with patients, Aunties, Uncles and Elders in our community and hear stories, sometimes well most of the time hilarious stories, but also sad stories, stories I will reflect on during my presentation.

Children pick up on moral lessons at a budding age. For example, children learn to share toys with each other. If the child never compramised and shared , the children would manifest how to say sorry.Let’s say the child didn’t say sorry, the individual would learn what guilt feels as their fellow classmate cries. The child might not understand what feeling themselves were personally having, but feeling responsible would be one. When the child moves to the adolescent stage, the scenarios developed. It’s no longer G rated guilt, it’s now feeling responsible for something you should have done or didn’t do. Life gets harder and the adolescent along with adults will slowly start to grasp the concept of guilt and responsibility. The child and

In the article “The Greatest Generation: The Great Depression and the American South,” Jeffrey DeRoven analyzes the economic struggles of the American South during the Great Depression in order to figure out why some people refer to people from that time period as the “greatest generation.” Below, this paper overviews DeRoven’s thesis, purpose, stance, audience, usage of literary techniques as well as logos, pathos and ethos, logical fallacies, and ultimately concludes with an opinion suggesting that DeRoven’s analysis is mostly sound and useful, but limited in proving his thesis.

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.

Sometimes life lessons are learned the hard way. Unfortunately for me, this is how I learned mine. I do not mean to make this sad and depressing, but this is the truth.

With the loss of youth’s innocence comes compassion for others and a deeper understanding of life. Kole argued with his mom about all the homework and then his mom grounded him.

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

Think about why education is a great gift to our generation. I think education is an amazing gift to our generation! Because I live in America I am gifted knowledge, a future, and financial opportunities. America’s gift to my generation is education. Education is what guarantees a successful life.

Since James Cooke’s possession of the entire Australian east coast in 1770, followed by the arrival of the first fleet in 1788, British perceived domination has caused momentous and historic controversy between the rightful owners of the land, the aboriginal people, and the early settlers, the British.

Adults often look down on young people for neglecting the rules and may even go as far to deem the current generation as the ‘dumbest generation’. They often assume the worst of kids-- ergo, causing them to enforce more and more rules in hopes of disciplining them. However, it is a given that not all parents, educators, or adults in general are akin-- some may be more overprotective than others and vice versa.

Throughout our lives, we experience situations that can undoubtedly challenge our lives. These experiences can have outcomes that are not in our favor, but teach us crucial lessons. In my case, almost a year ago I lost someone who unquestionably had a vast impact on my life. My uncle Sal was taken from me unexpectedly. That day took a major toll on myself and my entire family. However, such an event served as the gate for me to see they type of person I am.

A quite popular idea is that a person's childhood has the greatest influence on their personality and their moral standards. As stated by Patrick Crispen in Criminal Minds, a child's morals are learned and set by the age of ten years old (67). Also stated in Criminal Minds, is the assumption that a sixth-grade teacher could look at a class of students and determine who will be successful, who will be a "trouble-maker", and so forth (70). This is a deeper example of how
