Every generation faces new challenges and new problems. What do you think is the biggest difference between your generation and older generations? How do you think these differences will affect the future of our country and/or your career choice? Every generation is different in so many ways, but at the same time, we’re exactly alike. We, as teenagers, are unsure, insecure, and confused about who we are and what we want to do with our lives. But in the bigger ways, we are completely different than the older generations…
makes sense that the Me Generation would raise the next generation of narcissists, but millennials are being coined the Me Me Me Generation. That’s two more Me’s than the last. Which begs the question: is our generation significantly more selfish than those before us? If so, what does that mean for the future? One theory is that although the majority of our generation is self interested we are not selfish; our ideology is to the world’s advantage because thinking about our core identity will be what…
We could possibly be the most self-centered generation in American history. This generation can be defined by the people who use social media to constantly share the importance of themselves with others. Dean Obeidallah, a former attorney, uses social media, logical reasoning, history, & current events to defend his argument that being self-centered can be used to create positive outcomes. This year, more of us realized what our generation is becoming when the word “selfie” was added to the Oxford…
to the generations before us. The technology we use, medicine, and even our behavior is by virtue of the generation before us. America’s gift to my generation is innovation. Before us, the generations made a lot of positive impacts that we can enjoy. They made advancements in technology, medicine, and innovation. They kept a good behavior which reflected on us. They kept the earth as clean as they could, saving us from a much worse pollution problem. The innovation in the generations before us…
This generation is not more informed than the last. This generation is not more informed than the last generation because kids these days are more on social media than anything else, they don’t watch the news unlike their parents did, and they are more engaged with technology than the last generation. One reason why this generation is not as informed than the last is that they are always on social media. “I don’t believe we are informed as we should be,’ Glenbard East sophomore Kelly Tautkus said…
An Artifact for Our Future Generations March 16, 2013 Unit 5 IP AIU Online Abstract Artifacts are defined as “Any mass-produced, usually inexpensive object reflecting contemporary society or popular culture: artifacts of the pop rock generation.” (2013). Although this is just one definition for the word artifact, it is the one used for this paper. Of every generation there is an artifact that could be looked back at by future generations to gain insight to the past. The iPod is no exception…
I feel that the greatest challenge that my generation is faced with is being stuck in a time of environmental instability. Recently, we have been confronted with the crisis of global warming. In past generations, they have known the risks and effects of all the factories, and the car emissions, but they saw no immediate problem that they were confronted with. So they did not make many changes in their daily habits. Most recently, Al Gore had created the presentation, “An Inconvenient Truth”, to raise…
television and on billboards and posters. All of the perfection that they see in these elements of the media is photoshopped. It has been giving off a compelling force of pressure against our teenagers to be dangerously skinny and model-like for over 30 long years. The media is mentally and physically killing our children with photoshopped images, and this is why it should be criminalised. Is true that freedom of speech is important and it is true that the advertising companies have the authority…
Every generation is different form one another because of the way we raise and the social environment. In addition, most of the time, the older generation has something negative to say about the newer generation. For example, in the article “Millennials: The Me Me Me Generation” by Joel Stein, Stein labeled millennials as higher “narcissistic personality disorder”, obsessed to become famous, obsessed with technology, etc. On other hand, some people define millennials as more open minded and fastest…
The Cost of Protecting Our borders Enzo Biasillo Strayer University Abstract Despite the increase in funding over the last decade, the number of illegal aliens entering our country continues to grow.

Illegal immigration is not just Arizona’s problem, or any of the other…
