Did you know they have labeled our generation (born between 1982 and 1997ish) the Millennials? (also called Generation Y [lame]) Heres a video from 60 minutes talking about the work ethic of the 20somethings.
We watched and discussed this video on Wednesday in my small group and it made me really grateful for my parents. The way we are raised plays such a huge part of who we are, whether we like it or not. If we don’t like the way we are raised, many times we’re driven to change that. Our attitudes are defined by our home lives and I think the same is true for our parents and their parents.
My dad is a baby boomer, and my mom is, I guess technically, part of the following generation.. (not sure on that one) but their influence on my sister and I have taught us to take responsibility for our actions, our decisions, our messes and our successes. And i think in the same breath to give credit where credit is due. I am so thankful for my parents. Going to college made me realize how well they have brought me up and it is awesome to know they love me as much as they do.
It seems like the video really focuses on who is to “blame” for our generation and I think along the lines of giving credit where credit is due, parents are responsible BUT individuals are just as susceptible to blame for their own actions.
So. What do you think about the “millennials” ? Whats your take on the video?
this is an awesome post.
comment-wise, i got nothin.
This I find to be somewhat ironic.
I see this video, and see a complaint about “millennials” and how they only think about themselves and all sorts of other things to that nature.
Who are the ones that raised these “millennials”? Thats the reason why generation y is so screwed up and self centered.
because of crap like f.f.p.s.(fun fair positive soccer). everyone wins.
Generation Y didn’t come up with these programs it was the previous generation and the baby boomers. So blame them and not the millennials. The millennials are merely a product of previous generations Bull that was pushed.
