The Generation And The Millennial 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

Because the development of racial stereotypes is important to address and understand, in terms of stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination, the ongoing exploration it is to know how will individuals limits those actions. The current study indicates the ways in which Baby Boomers and the Millennials generation uses racial stereotypes towards one another. The evidence and research allow us to discover that the Millennials generation is most likely to use more racial stereotypes because of the exposure they were given. A highlight of the research that was given was by writer Todd Nelson, in which he stated “Researchers know more about racism & sexism, but comparatively little about prejudicing & stereotyping based the generation” (Nelson 1998),

Have you ever felt like marketers or advertisers are tricking you into buying their products? Marketers are very good at having their mindset towards targeting the youth into buying their products. Most people don’t see it but they are doing everyday you are with a device with ads.

In today's world, advertisements have become a huge part of our everyday lives. Advertisements are considered persuasive, powerful, and manipulative tools that many businesses use to persuade consumers into buying or using their products or services. So, it's no surprise that no matter where we look, we see them everywhere; newspaper, magazines, billboards, buses, online, television, and etc. It seems as though the whole world is drowned in them. Similar to how writers explain their purpose through rhetoric, advertisers use the same effective techniques to persuade their consumers.

Millennials are individuals who were born during 1982 through 2004, ages 18-34 years old. These individuals are considered to be the “largest generation in the United States with 75 million individuals belonging to this generation”

The millennial generation, which includes people born in the 1980s and 1990s, is approaching the age where people begin put their values into play, begin developing their views on the world, and their attitudes towards topics. This is how the characteristics of a generation are defined, and how the identities of people within the cohort form.

For the last 50 years, there have been three generations in a work place. Baby boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. Each of these three generations bring significant influences to the work place especially to organizational leaders.

For my assignment this week I am writing about China and India trends and how they are copying the Western-style for the past several decades. In this paper I will talk about the United States economy and how it has overcome several hardships of the past. I will talk some about the youth and their generation of China and India and how they are affecting the economy in their homeland. Last but not least I will discuss the trend that the United States is setting on these countries through their younger generation.

Each generation grows into what they are to become based almost entirely on their environment, and the Millennials and Boomers are no different. They watch and learn from the effects of that environment, good or bad, and how it impacted their lives and the lives of their families, then they form their views and opinions from there. But what is it that makes the Millennials and the Boomers handle their financials so differently? Not to mention the drastic differences in their saving habits.

Today, everyone is given labels and are identified by them. There are characteristics and attributes that coincide with each label; these are known to be called stereotypes. Stereotypes can often be deceitful, although there generally lies a truthfulness behind them. People are born into generations at certain points of time and there are multitudes of factors that mold these individuals. Various generations have come and departed, including the Greatest Generation, the Baby-Boomers, Gen X, and now the Millennials.

As the American economy continues to incorporate the younger generation into the working class, steps must be taken to maximize employee potential. The impact of workers between the ages of 18 and 32, Generation Y or Millennials, is unquestionably an organizational concern for many employers. According to a 2013 Ernst & Young survey, 87% of Millennials have moved into management positions in the last five years. With that level of upward mobility, issues and conflicts are certain to arise due to the vastly different workplace ethics, management styles, etc. held by the new and older generations. For a company to be an innovative competitor in the marketplace, it is important for its employees to be able to work productively while accommodating generational differences. The 2013 Ernst & Young survey also found that more than 69% of respondents said their company had made an effort to alleviate the challenges that arise with a generational blend. Employee cooperation is an important goal for these companies because it is vital for them to thrive in the rapidly evolving workplace.

Today, three generations work side by side in American businesses, each with their own differing values. Managers need to recognize their unique characteristics and plan accordingly.

Over the years, parents, educators, coaches, and other authority figures have tried to boost children’s self-confidence in school by rewarding them for everything they participate in from school to sports and clubs. Whether it be receiving awards to words of encouragement, today’s Millennial generation is corrupted due to the reception of constant praises from their elders. These “good jobs,” smiley face stickers, and participation certificates created little monsters which turned into the entitled and selfish millennial generation complained about today. Seventy-one percent of American adults think of eighteen to twenty-nine year-olds, Millennials, basically, as "selfish," and 65% of adults think of them as "entitled." That information is according to the latest Reason-Rupe Poll, a quarterly survey of 1,000 representative adult Americans (Nick Gillespie). The older generations who complain about the sense of entitlement and excessive amount of self-esteem do not take into account that many of them played a part in destroying the work ethic of today’s Millennial generation. These praises given to innocent children destroyed the hard-working personality traits associated with success the generations before the Millennials sought to create in their children and grandchildren.

Research has shown that this is the first time in American history that we have had four different generations working together in the workplace. This has caused employee engagement issues in the workplace. As the Millennial Generation or Generation Y, abbreviated to Gen Y) are the demographic between Generation X and Generation Z. There are no precise dates for when the generation starts and ends (history.com). The term baby boomer a person born in the years following World War II, when there was a temporary marked increase in the birth rate it is also used in a cultural context, so it is difficult to achieve broad agreement on a precise date definition (businessdictionary.com). Some of the challenges that are arising in our workforce are different mindsets, communicating, and technologies. These issues are affecting the workplace and are causing difficulties for the HRM.

Classes around the world are run on a grading scale from an A to an F, where people universally consider an F as a “failing grade.” Often, students holding “failing” grades find it close to impossible to raise their scores back to an acceptable level. When society is failing, however, it is even harder to come back from such a low point. According to one New Yorker, society is doing just that; society is failing. Johnny Oleksinski, an editorial assistant for the website “The Theater Loop,” and an entertainment columnist for the New York Post, claims that modern-day people, more specifically the millennial generation, are failing in various ways. Living in New York, Oleksinski finds himself constantly scrutinizing the actions of millennials, and through his writing, he hopes to correct societies imperfections. By addressing modern-day millennial actions in a sarcastic and exaggerated manner, Oleksinski measures correctly the degree at which society is failing.
