CNN DIALOGUES: The Millennial Generation
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
The Millennial Generation: Changing the Way We Do Business Generation Me. Trophy Kids. Generation Stuck. Whatever you call them, the Millennial Generation and their perspectives are changing the way we think and work. They inspire social change and are poised to be the most educated generation in American history. Their seamless integration of technology into daily life is revolutionizing information sharing and pushing the boundaries of how traditional workplaces function. Millennials are multicultural, multitasking, entrepreneurial and arguably more liberal and less religious than their elder counterparts. Some experts say because of constant positive reinforcement from parents, they expect the same from employers and have trouble with criticism. While their peers search for jobs in a weak economy, the Millennials in the workforce embrace a casual work style - often mistaken for rude behavior. As these intrepid young citizens go to work, will generations clash or will they find a way to productively coexist?

as for me i was born in early 90`s and from what i know technology wasn`t big back in the 90`s to understand about the 90`s was about a cultural shift in new styles of music the way we dress and talk and communicate and the fact that gen y is more of a groupie generation from my understanding. technology became big during the 2000`s like from 98`s to 2000`s to mid 2000`s is when technology became big gen y from the 90`s spent most of our times outside playing doing what gen baby boomers and the silent generation and gen x and any generation throughout history spent most of our time outside but gen z are more of an indoors generation but few from the gen z vary few spend more time outside few but most inside... sure baby boomers gen x and gen y have some differences yet we still hold on to some traditonal values and opinions but difference is that gen x and gen y are more open minded to new views while holding on to some old views... but gen z well spoiled with technology and have vary little to no time for us older gens to take our advice nor give an ear to us but also i feel that we are babying them treating them like babies plus vary emotional and about feelings and so on and not teaching them what gen baby boomers and gen x and gen y was taught throughout history...

"In the corporate world, [...] they are the most skilled, inexpensive brain trusts." I'm not sure I like being viewed as "inexpensive" and being dangled a carrot. I don't mind social service work, but I value making a comfortable life for me, my family and my future family, but if being treated "inexpensively" is how people view, I beg to differ.

And it's like... you know like... likedy like... (shut up Dev!)

Millennials are ALSO consider "The Fatherless Generation". AKA, who are they able to look up to? Who set the standards? Well...this would have been the Baby boomers, ya? Alot of them learned to quit from their parents, who also quit on them. Fatherless generation...the most broken homes in the history of America.

"Occupy and it's failure is proof of that". ridiculous. that's like saying the civil rights movement and all the protests of the 1960/1970's were failures. One of the major points of a protest is to get a voice heard, the very fact you know about occupy makes occupy successful. Did the protests of the 1960's stop the cold war? no. but it did make people think about the problems that a generation had to face, and allow for people to make the changes they wanted when they had the power to do so.

The most racially diverse and educated generation ever? If that's not a formula for greatness, I don't know what is. Also, we have the means to communicate what we want to change and how we want to change it that no other generations has. In the coming years, as we face more world problems that are unique to our generation (taking care of the aging boomers, corrupt corporations and government, never-ending war, etc...), and solve those problems, we will make the world a better place.

These people are so annoying. Millenials have no wisdom to offer. Occupy and its failure is proof of that. Millenials, shut up and get to work!

These nutjobs will ruin the country

The young people are destroying your way of life. The young people have always done that. Your job is to encourage it, not discourage it. It is not your young people who are taxing you to death, then using the money for war and machines of war. They are asking you to stop it. It is not your young people who are ignoring the problems of the weak and the downtrodden, letting hundreds of people die of starvation every day on a planet with more than enough to feed everybody. ...

Turned off at Mariah Carey was my inspiration. Already too insipid.
