My Best Friend 's Generation

As students, freshmen come into high school knowing that they are hated by every upperclassmen in the school, with the exception of some friends and possibly family. The freshmen don’t understand why they are disliked, and most of the upperclassmen can’t tell you why they despise the freshmen, except for some unproved responses such as: “They’re annoying”, or “They’re so immature”. This sequence occurs every year. As the freshmen turn into upperclassmen, they too develop a hate for the incoming freshmen. This relationship is common on a larger scale as well; older generations view the younger generations as annoying, dumb, and immature. Dealing with three generations today, we have the omniscient Baby Boomers (1946-1964), impious

In our country’s government, my generation would act differently than our predecessors and those in office to better benefit society. Instead our fighting with other countries, my generation would work to try to act peaceful towards other countries. Another thing my generation would do differently is we would focus the majority of our attention on the United States. When one country is disputing with another country, my generation would try to keep our country out of it, unless needed be. However, the predecessors of today get the United states involved in other countries problems that they could handle on their own. We want to have many allies and make friends instead of creating enemies. Instead of fighting wars, that the United States wasn’t

The multigenerational could affect its operation depending on how I will manage each generation I have to keep in mind that each generation have a unique different way to communicate. Like mention in the book, I have to be cultural competence, “set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that comes together in a system, [in an] agency, or among professionals, and enable that system, [that] agency, or those professionals to work effectively in cross-cultural situations” (Pg.

As the population of Canada ages different demands are put on the recreation and leisure service industry. The 'baby boomer' generation (born 1946 - 1964) have a different set of ideals and values compared to modern generations. This can often make it difficult to meet and plan around their needs. It is important to find out what type of leisure this group enjoys, what is beneficial to them, possible methods of education and their own individual expectations of leisure. The following articles will outline an in-depth understanding of these topics, and how they all work together to form a better future for this demographic.

Growing up in my generation was fun and interesting. I would say I am very blessed to have been raised in the time period that I was, as well as how I was raised. My family had pretty good income for the most part, although, for a period of time it was only my father working. The only children were myself and my older brother. My parents divorced when I was very little, around three years old; too young to remember. They got married at a young age, about twenty-two years old. My mother never went to college, but my father did. He got a job right out of college and began working full-time. His job required him to travel all of the time, putting a strain on my parents’ relationship, as well as ours with him. Meanwhile, my mother kept my brother and me at home. She did all of the “typical” motherly housework. My father came from a very traditional background and wanted to pursue that way of life. By this I mean he basically followed the “patriarchal” type of family life. He was the “breadwinner”, while my mother stayed home taking care of the children and housework. Although, after my parents were divorced, my mother went back to school to get her degree and pursue a career to support us and herself.

The workplace consist of four different generations. These generations are, the Silents, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers and the Generation Ys of the Millennials. All four generations contribute to the workplace whether negative or positive. The millennials are technological advanced and view work as an essential part of life, Silents generation is retiring, baby boomers are making changes to fit their post retirement while still in charge and the Generations Xers trying to maintain a balance between their work life and their personal life. With this being said, each generation continue to interconnect and causing a change in the work place. Not only that but the younger the generation, the more unique and advance things become and this is the

Children living throughout the world are having to carry adult decisions on their narrow shoulders. The Age of Innocence has drastically changed the general timetable of childhood. Children need time to emotionally grow so they are better prepared to connect with the reality of their emotions versus biological development. However, within a single generation parenting went from shelter children from life's vicissitudes to allowing children to be exposed prematurely to adult experience in order to survive. These exposures often mean experimenting with promiscuity, alcohol and drugs at age often associated with pre-teens.

I am a flexible worker who is always willing to consider new ways of doing things. I am also familiar with working in a busy tertiary education environment, the competing pressures inherent in busy roles and environments where

Technology was rapidly advancing during my childhood years. During those years technology like Photo shop 1990, the mosaic web browser 1993, Yahoo 1994, Sony PlayStation 1994, Real Networks 1995, Google 1998, and Mp3 Players 1998 (The Decades That Invented the Future, Part 10: 1991-2000) Just to name a few that are so commonly used today. Although these amazing technological advances came about during my early years does not necessarily mean that everyone was using them then. Most of my childhood was still spent outdoors being adventurous, at a friend's house, passing notes in class, and dare I say it, drinking from a water hose! There are many differences and similarities my children and I share from the time I was growing up to the current generation.

I believe we have a messed up generation. It’s true, every kid is disrespecting their parents, on their phones all the time, or even try to “Netflix and Chill”. Don't get me wrong I do all of those things, but I want to change that. The other day my mother left to the store, so she told me to watch my little brother and sister, I was paying attention to my sister mostly on how often she checks her phone to go on social media or answer a text. I counted over 50 times in last 15 minutes. My dad got home from work early and as he was doing paperwork, I asked him on his opinion on this generation. He said that the new technology is devouring the child’s mind to the point where they forget their manners. He also said if we keep going with this technology advancement, we’ll end up like the people from Wall-E.

The millennial generation, Generation Y, has the ability to be the most well-rounded, sagacious, and unprejudiced generation yet; however, there are some flaws in every generation. Some people point out our flaws and do not look at the great qualities that we have. I admit that we do have flaws but guess what, we are a generation and every generation consist of humans. We are not the only generation with flaws and other generations have some flaws, too. I am not just speaking for myself; I am speaking for this generation.

Generation Y or the Millennials are the terms used to refer to the individuals who were born between early 1980s to early 2000s. The term Generation Y was coined from the fact that the generation preceding the Millennials was known as Generation X. This group comprises the largest number of people entering the workforce in the contemporary world. This generation has some of the characteristics that were not exhibited by most previous generations that include being soft, family centered, achievement oriented, team oriented, requiring attention, and tech savvies. However, to understand these characteristics, it would be of great importance to explain why the members of Generation Y have these characteristics.

In the famous words of William Arthur Ward “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” From an early age, my life’s purpose has been to became an inspiring teacher and mentor, influencing the younger generation of students in the most positive and wholesome way. I believe the direction provided through motivation can help shape a student’s life and the knowledge from a book and the wisdom from a teacher can change the world. My aspiration is to give back to the university as a Faculty member, sharing my knowledge and experience with future generations of students and contributing to their development, thus embracing the spirit and pride of leading an academic life. I have confidence in my determination for success and my highly focused research interest, Cornell Johnson College is indeed the right place for me to launch my academic career.
