Young American Generation Screwed Analysis

458 Words2 Pages

Young Americans: Generation Screwed Looking at the article it does indeed put the Millennials into a situation where this generation has nothing left to do, but fix what has already been broken. So what will be the larger repercussions of a “Screwed Generation”? Considering that the Millennials (my generation) are growing up into world full of economic hardship that is not due to the Millennials, but is what they are inherited due to the fact that the generations before them didn’t understand the process of structural factionalism. This does indeed seem unfair for the Millennials; however, we have to be the ones to make it better. On the other hand, Millennials may not have the same opportunities as the generations before them, and they may …show more content…

They are left with the belief that education will get them somewhere in life, but then again when they get a degree there is no jobs open for them leaving the Millennials to seek under paying jobs just to get by. In some cases they are forced to stay at home due to the fact that they are trying to pay off their school bills, so they are unable to buy their own house. This also can lead to people running to welfare for help due to the fact that they don’t have money for the food or other things that are necessary to live. Due to the Baby Boomers and the Gen X, Millennials are left to build up what they broke down. In the end, Millennials may never have the chance to live the American Dream nor will they ever see it due to the fact that our country will only get better if the Millennials change it. Even if they do make the effort to change the economic problems and fix the problems that have been going on for years it is not going to happen overnight it may take years to fix the damage that has been made. For one thing, it will not change in the lifetime of the Millennials we can only hope that we are able to make a difference and change it for the better so that our kids someday will be able to live the American

    In the 2013 Time article "The New Greatest Generation," Joel Stein claims that "millennials' perceived entitlement isn't a result of overprotection but an adaptation to a world of abundance"(31). Stein's organizational style appeals to readers because he arranges the article in a way that lures the reader's attention in the beginning, so he can later propose a new outlook. Stein begins describing characteristics of millennials unfavorably in order to overcome those negative characteristics and offer a new, positive perspective. The author initially establishes a negative attitude towards millennials to appeal to the feelings of the older, adult generations. Stein’s structure successfully acknowledges the negative views, for the purpose of

    An excerpt from “CQ Researcher” wrote a summary that focuses on how Millennials is one of the most diverse generations of America 's, leading them to possibly reshape our country in their image. The first time I read this, I thought that young adults may not have what it takes to change America’s society. That they didn’t know how, but then you have Millennials vote for President Obama which in fact were most hispanic people, we may have a shot. According to the “CQ Researcher” “ Millennials launch into successful adulthood, causing many to delay getting married, starting families and purchasing a home. This is good because setting back with marriage and families, gives enough time for an individual to understand our country and what is the

    In the essay “The New Greatest Generation” by Joel Stein, Stein discusses characteristics of the millennials that he admires. First, Stein thinks the millennials “could be a great force for a positive change (Stein 572).” Stein may think this is so because of the data he has received from Tom Brokaw. Brokaw says, the millennials are “inventing new apps and embraces the whole economy.” Also, Stein may think millennials will make a positive change because they are “more accepting of differences (Stein 572).”

    She uses stereotypes as one way to prove how predecessor generations feel about millennials, stating that they are just narcissistic, self-absorbed, opinionated, whiny individuals who are uneducated, lack focus and are not responsible (Ellin 205). The main rivalry is between the baby boomers and the millennials because they have opposing perspectives and characteristics. “Millennials have self-confidence and assuredness, and these characteristics can be off-putting to people in older generations who feel that because of their age and experience young people should be more deferential towards them”, says Julie Coates, an adult-learning specialist in River Falls, Wisconsin (Ellin 208).

    And the generation that has felt most of the fallout were the Millenials- people who were born in 1980-1999. During the crisis of 2008 many millenials were not able to find employment even with a college degree and as a result went deep into debt. The current generation of children will be born to the Millenial generation of parents- the teenagers that have experienced this financial crisis first hand. I believe that having known and experienced what it is like to be financially unstable Millenials will encourage their own children to work as teens, particularly if the issue of student debt will not be resolved in the

    An opinion may be appealing to the ear; however, appealingness does not make a statement accurate. In Joel Stein's article, “The New Greatest Generation,” his overall message is generalized to the idea of what effect do millennials have on society. In the first portion of his writing, Stein criticizes millennials’ ways of life using statistical data and stereotypes the entire generation as indolent and self­centered. The second portion of Stein’s article is a counterargument that millennials are not a fruitless generation, and that their way of life may be beneficial to all. Stein creates a compelling argument, however his counter argument is entirely opinionated making his writing an unreliable source.

  • Generation Debt Summary

    According to Anya Kamenetz in the article “Generation Debt,” young people of today are struggling with high debt due to high educational finances and this is preventing them to move on as responsible adults. College tuitions are too high to pay that young people fall into applying for student loans, and have significant credit card debt with high balances. Most students are using their credit cards to pay for their college expenses and student loans; even their paychecks are being used to pay for college. I agree that many young people held back in becoming a full adult which they are doing everything they can just to continue their education. Even if it means to continue living at home with parents just to make ends meets and not being able to step in the “fully adulthood.”
