Laura Holyoke and Erick Larson, the authors of “Engaging the Adult Learner Generational Mix”, have researched the ways the current generations today tend to learn. The three distinct generations being focused on in this article are the Baby Boomers which were born between 1943 and 1960, Generation-X born between 1960 and 1980, and Millenia born between 1981 and 2002. Holyoke and Larson have noted that “in the workforce, as well as in higher education, current literature pertaining to adult learners tends to lump all adults into the same category” (2009). In order to find the best way to teach each of these generations, the work needs to be personalized for that certain generation’s needs. Each generation has their different ways of learning; they are “influence by historical events, cultural…
Nancy Gibbs of Time magazine, in the article “Generation Next,” explains that the baby-boomers (ages 50-65) and the millennials (ages 19-29) have a great generational gap perceived by the young people of both eras. She points out how young people from both generations socialized, judged conventions and traditions, position their political and religious views, and the way millennials and baby boomers anticipate their future to be. She explains that a similar percentage of young people from both generations perceive a wide gap from their elders; however, Gibbs argues that the difference in the opinions between young and old people in the two generations is based in many divergent aspects (72). In fact, Gibbs discusses three…

In the United States, its citizens are categorized by their date of birth into four commonly known generations. The individuals born anytime before 1946 are considered Pre-Boomers, individuals born between 1946 and 1964 are known as Boomers, individuals born between 1965 and 1976 are known as Generation X, and last but not least is Generation Y, which are individuals born anytime after 1977. The individuals categorized in each of these generations tend to share similar values and views on things such as religion, culture and politics. These segregated differences in views are also known as generational gaps. “A generation gap is commonly perceived to refer to differences between generations that cause conflict and complicate communication, creating a gap.” (Adcox, 2012)…
Land of the free home of the brave, an all encompassing American dream has been set out as the goal for all Americans today. A simple equation of education, hard work, dedication and skill is to be summed up into a simple escalation on the social ladder. This simple equation should yield results so that any American can lead the life of a true united states citizen. Yes, these claims are catered to the general public but what comes into question is the reality of it. Social mobility is defined as “the movement of individuals from one social position into another. Intergenerational social mobility is a measure of the extent to which parents and their children have similar or different social and economic positions in adulthood. Upward mobility…
According to the textbook, physical disparities are the product of physiological and maturational differences. In addition, children are impacted by socialization. For example boys are given more freedom than girls. This teaches boys to be independent this has direct impact on activity level. In conclusion, “boys get more practice using their motor skills…laying the groundwork for increased strength later”. My nephew’s motor skills have developed over the years because he has had exposure to sports.…

When thinking about mobility, whether it is intergenerational or intragenerational, is interesting among social classes because you could have those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but later when they die they have nothing to their name. Events and decisions in life can either bring an individual up or down in social classes, but it’s all up to the individual on how they can change their status among social classes. A family member I can think of who has experienced inter- or intragenerational is my father. When my dad grew up he grew up with teenage parents, who didn’t have too much, both of his parents had odd jobs throughout the years in order to raise my dad and his two brothers, so their class was more of the lower class…
I enjoyed that these three papers were able to make me a stronger writer. The self in context essay I was able to learn how to express my emotions in writing. Most importantly writing the essay I realized that I have been keeping my emotions hidden. The lyrical essay got me to start thinking about writing poems again. Lastly the reportage essay forced me to step out of my comfort zone and have some fun. I am very thankful for this…
My topic is Feminism on Broadway. Theater has always been a big part of my life, I have made many of friends through theater. I think the biggest impact it has had on my life would probably be the confidence and strength it has given me. Especially when I see a strong women on stage playing a powerful women. That is why I chose this topic. I wanted to share my love of theater, but also show other girls the confidence that radiates from these powerful actresses/characters and they can be what they want and be as strong as the actresses can.…
After realizing that he was not his father and most likely would never be able to achieve what his father had; Mr. Hicks was forced to leave his life brilliance and enter a lackluster life overshadowed with mediocrity. Mr. Hicks’s life has shifted from soaring through the sky and to “rid[ing] commuter trains” and “serving on committees” (28; 29). The life Mr. Hick’s has been dropped into is one that he can never truly be happy in because it will never compare to the life he lived when he worked with his dead. The pain and disappointment that Mr. Hicks had to go through left him “wishing [that he could have] drowned” like Icarus had because at least then he would not have to go through life knowing he was not good enough to have the life his…
Ideology contributes greatly to the identity of immigrants, for it is ingrained in the culture from which they come. When integrating into American society this results in relatively different outcomes depending on the age at which individuals immigrate. First generation immigrants, for example, do not fair as well economically compared to their children (Schüller 2015, 965). Moreover, if the second generation grew up in an integrated household ― that is, one that did not assimilate completely to the dominant culture nor isolate themselves from said culture ― their educational prospects in life were forecasted as being far more favourable (Schüller 2015, 965). Therefore, in second generation…
The Intergenerational Transmission Theory suggests that there are various levels of exposure to trauma as it pertains to abuse. The trauma can lead a likelihood involvement in abusive and violent relationships later in life (Fox, Robson, & Gover, 2005). The Intergenerational Transmission Theory states that those who experience abuse or witness abuse will develop an abnormal perspective of violence. Another theory is the Mimetic Theory, which states that those who are exposed to trauma are at a higher risk of modeling that abusive behavior. The Mimetic theory states that those being abused view their abuser as powerful and admirable and therefore act violently in order to imitate or mimic the acts of violence (Craig & Sprang, 2007). Mimetic theory is in some ways the opposite of Intergenerational Transmission theory of abuse in…
