    Catherine Rampell’s “A Generation of Slackers? Not so much” starts her essay out by quoting strong and negative opinion statements made by people who believes Generation Y are lazy, dumb and etc. From the beginning of her essay Rampell had used a Tone that set out to make readers believe like she was attacking Generation Y but ironically transition the tone of her work into a defense towards generation y. It proves her defense by quoting evidence to support her views of Generation Y (“Today’s young people are very focused on trying to work hard and to get ahead”). To strengthened her opinion Rampell used flashback to remind readers that the demeanor and the behaviors of Generation Y “Are nothing new-they’ve been levied against generation x and etc., even Aristotle and Plato were said to express similar feeling about the slacker youth of their times.” After showing evidence to how Generation Y are not lazy as they seem to be viewed as but instead hardworking and productive as well, Rampell begins to use contrast between Generation Y and Generation X at the end of the essay to support her views. One key difference between Generation Y and Generation X is technology. It is agreeably that this generation work ethic are different from the older generation because of the introduction of advance technology to us. Technology may had help boost our grade up into an easy A that still did not stop us to be productive. It was stated that between 1989 and 2006 teenagers who were volunteered doubled to 26.4% from 13.4%. This clearly verifies the title of the essay “A Generation of Slackers? NOT SO MUCH!…

    “You could definitely tell they thought, “Who is this person and why does he think he can do something that took me years to do?”” (Ellin 205). She also uses examples from studies to show her argument that the generation of millennial is more “revived”, yet “needy”. (Ellin 205). By discussing the characteristics of millennials, Ellin is able to back up her argument. The audience now sees the differences in the generations. “They seek constant feedback and immediate gratification. They multitask and can’t focus. They’re sensitive to criticism and unable to work alone.” (Ellin 205). By stating stereotypes of this particular generation, she is able to inform the readers on how the millennial are viewed by other generations. Ellin then persuades belief of her argument even more by giving studies. “Her cross-generational data analysis of college students show that recent cohorts are especially narcissistic, believing they are above average” (Ellin 206). Further on, the author explains and gives a comparison to show how the two very vary. “Respect has a different feel across generations. Millennials believe respect should be earned. Older generations are frustrated by their lack of civility.” (Ellin 208). In conclusion, Ellin provided information, stereotypes, and studies, to prove her thesis that…

    Denying the fact that teenagers spend too much time on their mobile phones and computers will be an injustice. It will be like lying to ourselves. Being a teenager myself, I willingly admit to the fact that we do spend too much time on our technologies. We cannot help it; with time, incredible inventions have mastered to better our lives and being born in the new generation, the youth have quickly adapted to the changes, particularly the teenagers. While others think this habit is full of catches, it has got its perks as well.…
