Whilst a large amount of information exists in terms of generational cohorts, not all findings are supported by empirical research to link the concept of work engagement to the different generational cohorts. The conventional belief that older people are less engaged and do not find meaning in their work has been proven to be a misconception, which highlights the danger of stereotypical beliefs. The findings suggest that older employees are still very valuable resources and can contribute significantly to the organisation’s success, but have different needs and values than other age groups. The results of this study indicated a significant difference between the Baby Boomer generation and the other two cohorts, but no significant difference

In Alice Walker's "Everyday Use," the message about the preservation of heritage, specifically African-American heritage, is very clear. It is obvious that Walker believes that a person's heritage should be a living, dynamic part of the culture from which it arose and not a frozen timepiece only to be observed from a distance. There are two main approaches to heritage preservation depicted by the characters in this story. The narrator, a middle-aged African-American woman, and her youngest daughter Maggie, are in agreement with Walker. To them, their family heritage is everything around them that is involved in their everyday lives and everything that was involved in the lives of their ancestors. To
Through many years, children growing up in single family homes has been discovered as problems. “At first glance, defending single mothers and their children. Raised by a strong and resourceful single mother, I turned out OK” (Wilcox). Being raised up with one parent seems to be stressful and impossible, but for decades its become possible to happen.

In my move to Chattanooga, TN my brother and I were discussing the dynamics of the family systems within the city and realized that there is a huge age gap missing within the work force and real estate sectors amongst the African American population. The ages of 25 to 35 were not a vibrant part of the population which has a direct effect on community growth and development. The middle to older adult population is the driving force behind African American advancement. The African American older adult women are operating private daycare centers, work factory jobs, buying homes, and raising their grandchildren. The teen youth being raised

What does my generation define on what it means to be an American? It all depends on where you were born, where you live currently, if you stand up for the pledge, and more.
