Whereas, Generation X describes the group in between the Boomer and GenMe, which Generation Me composes the millennials or children born from the 1980’s to the present. Although, the start of parents and educators encouraging self- esteem began around the 1970s (Twenge, 2014, p. 1). Twenge actively researches generational differences, even though there…

    While the article stresses the differences for each generation, she evaluations which generations should work well together and why. Again, she argues the historical events surrounding each generation and why she feels these events might cause similarities between members of each group. For example, she compares the outlook of the generation that came through the Great Depression to be similar to the younger generation that saw their parents lose jobs in the late 1990s. She emphasizes that similarities like this make these generations more compatible because they share attitudes about the economic strife they…

    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.

    Many people believe that previous generation of Americans was completely different than the generation that lives now days. Ideology and interests have completely changed. For instance, we all know that previous generation cared a lot for peace in the world, human rights and equality of mankind. Martin Luther King, John. F. Kennedy and Malcolm X are people who fought for equality among people and most famous representatives of Generation X. But compared to the previous generation, my generation is completely different, and many people are having a debate whether it’s good or bad. Thomas Friedman in his essay “Generation Q” called current generation quiet American for a good reason. In his opinion they are not outraged as they should be (98-100). On the other hand, Rob Fishman argues that “Generation Q” is too ready to defer to technology (72-75). After reading these articles, it’s clear that both authors define this generation from different perspectives; however, they both discuss an influence technology had on people. In Friedman’s perspective, this generation has become too quiet because of what technology has brought. But according to Fishman’s response, people of this generation are taking full advantage of technology in good ways rather than hiding behind screens…
