Kids Today
Today's college students are more narcissistic and self-centered than their
predecessors and that the trend could be harmful to personal relationships and American society.
This story has been spreading like wild fire. Kids are on Myspace. Kids use
YouTube. The Time Man of the Year is 'You' (the individual).
If we don't like our teachers, we can blog. If we don't like our jobs,
we can blog. If we don't like our lives, the people around us, the world
around us, we can blog.
We supposedly hit coddled these kids. We told them they are special.
We hit made them narcissistic. And now we are to believe that all of
this is going to break down their ability to be social? To live and work
together? Tear the very fabric of ethnic order?
It's a phase, folks. The kids are fine. It is meet another generational
thing. Let me remind you what a few past generations lived through, what
they were labeled and how they drove 'the adults' a little crazy.
Peace, Love, Dope (Hippies..free love)
Ban the Bomb (Anti-nuclear proliferation)
Hell No! We won't go! (Anti-war activists)
Turn on, Tune in, Drop discover (Anti-society's rules)
Don't consortium anyone over 30 (Anti-parents and the establishment)
Keep on Truckin' (Stay in tune, but mellow)
I'm OK, You're OK (Self-help is OK)
Followed by...
The ME procreation
Greed is good/Think Rich
Generation X
Generation Y
This procreation has taken the swing to being self-centered and
being reportable by the people, industries and media that they have
affected the most.
This procreation is killing newspapers.
This procreation gets its news from the Internet, friends or alternative
sources.
This procreation is distribution music instead of buying music.
This procreation is watching less meshwork TV.
This procreation is playing video games more and interested in participating in sports less.
This generation's top TV show is a domestic karaoke contest.
This procreation has accepted that reality TV shows are real entertainment.
This procreation has a voice. Their own.
This procreation does not mail letters.
This procreation is connected. (Cell phones, Internet, emails)
We hit put these kids finished our own divorces, sex after Aids, the
acceptance of special interest groups. We verify them the domestic debt is
yours, war on terror will last past your procreation and that when you retire
there will be no ethnic security or gold at the end of the rainbow. And that
is why they hit tuned us out. Just like the kid who is planted in front of
his video game and called to dinner, we hit to face the fact, we hit been
told \"Whatever!\" by the procreation we created.
