The First Digital Generation and The Confucian Culture in Korea

As generations go by, our predecessors assume we are skipping out on important aspects of life just to get a few extra minutes on our devices. In Catherine Rampell’s “A Generation of Slackers? Not So Much”, it is said the older generations believe Generation Y is “coddled, disrespectful, narcissistic, and impatient” (Rampell 388). In all reality our generation is just doing what it has to in order to thrive in the world we live in, where technology is one of the largest parts of our everyday lives. If the older generations that criticize Generation Y had grown up in Generation Y they would realize the world we live in requires the use of technology. The advancement of society with technology has shaped Generation Y to be the people that they are, relying on technology; however, older generations believe Generation Y is lazy.

The compare and contrast of these two generations; X is merely based on feedback and how the information is received and how the criticism can be used to accomplish goals and advancement opportunities. In regards to generation Y; prefers regulation via social networking websites to sustain firm information being provided to them. The issue in this generation is the multi function capability of basic mediation without higher authority assistance. Technology for the veterans and baby boomers is just a laughing situation to most, my views are they do appreciate change, they have traits of a human with autism; someone who accustom to routine.

In other words, the future generation will become more Americanize while the native generation traditions will begin to fade away. For any individual to become successful, he/she must evolve and adapt to the environment. If a person continues to have the same mentality, he/she will not be successful. It will not matter on how much the parents enforce Confucianism ideas on their children because the children are living with a different outlook. The children are attending school, learning new concepts and interacting with diverse cultures and characteristics. Compare to the older generation who are not willing to change and don’t know how to

There are currently six living generations in the United States, each with different characteristics, beliefs, and values. The things that define each generation’s culture are derived from their history, upbringing, and the lifestyle of their time. Our generation was born between 1980 and 2000. We are called Millennials. More specifically, we grew up in the South, which typically lends itself to being more conservative and religious. These characteristics, along with our instant gratification attitude, define who we are, what we believe, and how we view other generations. For example, we might have differing views with the Silent Generation. Some Millennials may feel the Silent Generation’s social, religious, and economic conservatism is outdated.

Through the internet and the change in learning this group is more self motivated to learn from each other versus just from the classroom. They also learn a lot more on their own. This expands “new forms of expression and rules of social behavior” (Source B). Consequently, the internet is more creativity and sense of self. As well as that “what makes these groups unique is that while adults participate, they are not automatically the resident experts by virtue of their age ” (Source C). Proving that Millennials surpass adults in the aspect of technology understanding and knowledge. Overall, the 30 and under generation are more self directed and creative in their learning prior than older

In this article, Prensky starts by stating obvious differences between this generation, and the ones that precede it. Today, "Digital Natives" or another popular term "Millennials" lives are proof of the impact of technology. They watch more TV, play more video games, and have mastered the art of multitasking constantly being surrounded by gizmos and gadgets. The author describes

Generation Y are less brand loyal and the speed of the Internet has helped with the flexibility to change in its fashion, style consciousness and where and how it is communicated with. Lastly, Generation Y whichranges from 1995-2012. According to Generational Kinetics there are currently over 23 million Gen Z in the United States. Gen Z members are still largely kids and adolescents but have earlyindications of being increasingly self-aware, self-reliant, innovative and goal-oriented.One key difference from Millennials and Gen Z is that they don’t remember a time before social media. As a result, they tend to live much more of their entire lives from interacting with friends and family to making major purchases online and via their smartphones. Therefore, Gen Z kids will grow up with a highly sophisticated media and computer environment and will be more Internet savvy and expert than their Gen Y

They both refer to individuals born between 1965 to 1980 as Generation X and people born in 1981 through 2000 are Millennials. Both assert that both generations have many similarities and interests. Both are independent, tech savvy, favor balance, security, personal responsibility, personal growth and easily adapt to change. However, Bennett suggests that Millennials are multitaskers, idealistic, value diversity, favor teamwork and need constant feedback, while Gen Xers work independently and need extraordinarily little feedback. Dunn’s analysis accounts for four generations, while Bennett’s analysis identifies individuals born after 2000 as “Nexters” and describes this group as tech savvy individuals with low attention spans, minimal interpersonal communication skills, who need constant feedback and favor

Truly digital, this generation is used to gathering and processing information in a snap, although interest in it wanes in a flash also. A majority – well over fifty percent – want to start their own company. Some see this generation as being more like the Traditionalists (1900-1945) because of the recent recession they lived through, as well as the concern for a safe future environment (think of the recent wars, and terrorist attacks). Time will tell on this one, but I am sure the market research professionals will have this generation detailed before you know

Joel Stein, the author of “The ME ME ME Generation”, argues Millennials are a generation of narcissistic brats who are addicted to technology. However, Stein fails to account that Millennials are cautious of their actions due to the widespread use of information on the internet that could affect personal and professional relationships.

Ancient korea differs from the modern koreas, in that it was separated into four kingdoms, and half of it was located not on the korean peninsula, but in modern day china and russia. As stated before, ancient Korea was separated into four kingdoms: Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Kaya. Goguryeo, the largest, was mostly located in modern china, russia, and north Korea, while the others were squished in the southern half of south Korea.

Life in a new generation is composed of being judged. Older age groups apply false stereotypes. All generations are influenced by different scenarios resulting in their judgment and misunderstandings of new generations’ life style such as their taste in music and disrespect in the sense of talking back.

In reading Siva Vaidyanathan's text on falsifies of a "digital generation" it illuminates to me on a complex but simplistic breakdown the cultural perception of being digitally literate. Vaidyanathan's begins his article with the provocative sentences that "there is no such thing as a digital generation" to open up the dialogue to who truly is and isn't adept to the Internet and its resources (par 1). The assumptions Vaidyanathan alludes to in his text help define a clear vision that I not only agree with but relate to as he states: "college students in America are not as digital as we might with to pretend" and "...all this mystic talk about a generational shift and all the claims that kids won't read books are just not true" (par 6). Being a college student I relate to this on so many levels, as I primarily use quick online sources but still use hard cover textbooks as a primarily source for all of my

Every Generation has something special it. Most generations view the others negatively. I am part of generation Z and I believe that we are characterized as technology reliant. For example, I am typing this essay on a computer right now. Some of the older generations, like our grandparents don't understand some of the thing we like. Our grandparents don't like the music we listen to, they don't like when we are on our phones all the time, and they don't like all of the technology that we have. Our grandparents also don't like when we have headphones in because they think we aren't paying attention to our surroundings. Our grandparents don't understand that we are a different generation and we have different standards from them. Technology reliant is a good trait for us because we need social media to contact our friends and family, we like to listen to music all the time, and we have technology all over. Other generations would describe us as annoying or childish and some call us private and cynical, but I think we should be described as technology reliant, entrepreneurial, and hyper-aware because we love technology, 72% of high school students want to start a business, and studies show that their minds are steaming in multiple directions.

One of the things that every generation does is try to judge themselves against the next generation. I believe that they do this to try and measure their own self-worth against the next. Many pessimistic older people fall into the idea that the next generation can not be better than their own because they do things differently than they did. This is something that has been going on for a long time now, and it is no surprise that it still happens today. “The notion that young people are somehow callow is not a new charge. In 700 BC, the Greek poet Hesiod wrote about it. The philosophers Xenophon and Plato were dismayed by the moral decay of their
