Millennials


This week’s reading and discussion made me think about my generation from my perspective. We discussed how the article was written about Millennials by our father generation belonging to the Baby Boomers who generally don’t have a overwhelmingly positive opinion on our generation. This made me think about our perception about anything. Our personal schema and the way we wish to see things always disjoint how things are. Perhaps our trust in authority or need for a hero truly means nothing besides our own cynical perception of the events we lived through and what we had in our lives. Isn’t this really the only difference that shapes overwhelming perception? So if the Baby Boomers, yes that’s you mom, want to critique the way we are, then they should probably critique the construct of the world they created for us.
