My name is Santi Martos; and after reading the following article I feel that I am able to believe and relate to this because technology ( as said in the article ). Technology allows us to go above an beyond with our own personal capability. Now we can text a friend that we haven't even spoken to in months a simple "Hey how are you? You are missed"! message can keep peoples bonds connected and most of the time because of our intention we usually message them for a reason. "oh Billy is the head of the company?! well? I need a job and I went to high school with him"!. Before there was texting or paging, networking was hard therefore people needed more effort into keeping people around. As humans we learned to abuse whatever is convenient to us. We abuse our rights. we abuse our position in our working fields for days off. I totally feel that this article should be reviewed more by the public.
My name is Tiffany, after reading this article I would like to admit that I can not fully relate with what the article implies about the millennials. Judging by the context of the article it might be relatable to the majority of the millennials; however I am far from the typical one. My perspective differs because I was not one to receive compliments that would normally boost a person's (let alone a child's) confidence. Don't get me wrong, I've had my fair share of accomplishments and heart warming compliments to go with it; however things like 'we are all winners' after playing a sport and the 'It is my way or the highway' attitude are just things I didn't experience as a child. But who knows, I'm still growing up. Nevertheless, I know that if I don't put in the work, I won't be rewarded anything. I understand that it takes more than just showing up to receive credit. From the way I was raised, I've learned that it takes hard work to get what you want. Never can someone automatically win or be awarded for nothing. You have to give to get, don't you? Furthermore, I can take directions, rules, and constructive criticism without a moment of hesitation; waiting for positive feedback. Those who can't and just walk at the first sign of difficulty or responsibility have truly been spoiled for way to long and probably deserves a hit of reality real soon. Overall, I can not relate to this article much, but I do see the point they are trying to get across.
My name is Jerai Wilson, after reading the article I totally disagree with what the author is saying. Personally, my family has always been serious about getting an education and making a good living to excel in life. My mother especially is pretty lenient about whatever I do unless it involves school and it's because of how her mother raised her in the past. I believe it all depends on how the parent's parent treated them as a child, the values they grew up with as a child reflect on how they raise their own. Because of my mother I'm serious about my education just as she was because of her mother. And to read this it's is kind of insulting because of all the kids that are exceptions. All parents tell their child that they are special, what, should they just stop giving them support out of fear of them possibly becoming too dependent? And what about the kids that are working hard should they just not be giving credit? Balance your support and leniency with rules and advice and your child will understand the importance of school and having a job to care for themselves in the future, or else they won't know how to be independent. Teach them to be considerate of others' ideas or opinions and be respectable about things.
This article really puts into perspective how self-absorbed and narcissistic "millenials", and even people of the current generation, truly are. Frankly, I don't consider myself as being part of this generation. I feel as if everyone who is around my age or older only cares about themselves and they think that the world revolves solely around them. Don't get me wrong; I know some kids my age that most people would think are well-rounded, responsible adults because of the way they were raised, myself included. However, it seems that we as a society have bred these "me" generations, and that these people are seemingly all over the place. It doesn't make sense to me that these people hold high positions yet they have their parents update their resumes and other things. They don't feel like doing work, either, yet somehow THEY are the ones that are earning huge salaries while people who are MORE than qualified for these positions are out of work due to them. America is in for a rude awakening when countries like China are going to completely dominate the workforce. All in all, I can't relate to this article, but it definitely opened my eyes and shifted my perspective in terms of this topic.
My name is Nephtali Madhere, and after reading this i can fully relate to the points and ideas made about millennials. Millennials are growing up to be individuals who don't work toward success but expect it. As stated in the document "You now have a generation coming into the workplace that has grown up with the expectation that they will automatically win, and they'll always be rewarded, even for just showing up."and this is true. Often times kids nowadays are receiving trophies just because they didn't win, as well as adults in various cases in order to refrain from rejection and disappointment. While it is understandable it's stopping millennials from learning moral skills in and out of the work place. Moreover, technology has become essential in millennial's life. With organizing apps and the world's knowledge at their fingertips, technology can make millennials smarter but does not make them wiser. So yes, millennials are growing up to be uniquely raised individuals transitioning in the work place, but they can't help; it's the way they were raised.
My name is Jennifer and from reading the article I can relate my perspective. In the article it mentions how the opinions and priorities of employees are important. Their priorities allow them to feel motivated. The new generation takes advantage of the advancements in technology to allow them proceed with their work; These improvements have allowed humans improve as well by permitting them to multitask. From this i was able to relate in how, the newer generation focuses more on getting things done in a way that makes them comfortable, unlike past generations who dedicated most of their time to their work rather than their personal lives.
My name is Kayla Vasquez. I have mixed opinions of the article, "The Millennials are Coming". Yes, I believe that now, our youth may take for granted the phone in their pocket, the tablet in their bag, and desktop waiting for them at home. They are surrounded by the constant beeping of text messages from their best friends, parents, and even the new kid they met in tenth period. That is an example of people having more access to communications and opportunities. I disagree, with the articles views of kids changes in mindset and work ethic. In fact, kids work even harder now proving a point against having information basically handed to them. Overall, even though now, kids have the privilege of easy accessibility to knowledge, they still endeavor of what needs to get done.
