The author in, “Millennial’s: The New Greatest Generation” argues that though Millennial’s are the most narcissist generation we have seen, this is not uncommon but rather a coming to terms with the environment and technology to which they are exposed.

The author in, “Millennial’s: The New Greatest Generation” argues that though Millennial’s are the most narcissist generation we have seen, this is not uncommon but rather a coming to terms with the environment and technology to which they are exposed. Millennials are very obsessed about fame and are striving to be the next big thing. They also have a sense of entitlement that makes them very narcissistic. Even more so they are constantly using their technology and make their lives revolve around it. On the other hand, parents wanting to promote self-esteem have led them to always think about themselves and how to be better has led to the high narcissism among millennials. The perceived sense of entitlement is due to being born in a world with profound choices, they have choice in all areas of their lives throughout their lives. Our millennial generation though perceived to be against the establishment actually isn’t rebelling and are the first generation to do so. They are passive about authority. Lastly, employers are adjusting to millennials and doing their outmost to keep them. They provide amenities and millennials have realized they have leverage and using to negotiate better pay. These reasons make millennials seem narcissistic yet it’s just a result of their surrounding.
The author in, “Millennial’s: The New Greatest Generation” argues that though Millennial’s are the most narcissist generation we have seen, this is not uncommon but rather a coming to terms with the environment and technology to which they are exposed.

Firstly, they have access to technology and therefore, are always on their phones. Technology has made them share too much information in their pursuit

    We’re afraid, because our kids know things we don’t.” (Goldwasser, par. 7). Teenagers have the ability to decide what becomes popular through the use of social media and the internet. They are the main reason why Apple products have become so popular and common; they made movies like “High School Musical” popular. Through their use and time on social media they were able to make the movie “Juno” an Oscar winner, made MySpace worth five hundred and eighty million dollars. Goldwasser stated “Besides, we’re tired of having to ask them every time we need to find Season 2 of “Heroes,” calculate a carbon footprint or upload photos to Facebook.” (Goldwasser, par. 8). A major reason parents think that the internet is melting their kid’s brains is because they just don’t seem to know how to do certain things with the internet without having to ask for help from a teenager. Parents also believe that teenagers are consistently blogging about them. As the author said “teenagers today read and write for fun; its part of their social lives. We need to start celebrating this unprecedented surge, incorporating it as an educational tool instead of meeting it with punishing pop quizzes and suspicion.” (Goldwasser, par. 14). Adults need to be able to start trusting their kids that what they do on the internet is not…

    Andrews describes weblining as, “the practice of denying certain opportunities to people due to observations about their digital selves” (711). Weblining can set a person back, “Not only does weblining affect what opportunities offered to you (in the form of advertisement, discounts, and credit lines), it also affects the type of information you see” (Andrews 712). Andrews used the example of Yahoo! News to reiterate the current issue of lack of privacy. Yahoo! News uses information from data aggregators to sort out what kind of news to show a person (712). That person may have looked at celebrity gossip and now that is the “news” that person would get on Yahoo! News. That person would be missing the important current events going on in the world. Some companies also buy web history from data aggregators and use that to decide if an applicant deserves the job or not. Like before, Orenstein takes a more psychological take on the effects. Unfortunately, online activities are affecting the psychological state of young adults. Orenstein’s research proves, “The impact, back in the offline world, appears to be an uptick in narcissistic tendencies,” (447). She even goes on to say the young adults are in short supply of empathy and have trouble maintaining romantic relationships and being honest (Orenstein 447-448). This is a huge blow to the lifestyles young adults play. Young…

    In this “Culture of Me” society, everything is Me-based. In the video “It Is All About Me,” the author mentions that this generation is known as “Gen Me”; it comes from the formula Gen X + Y +Z. People from this generation are known to be more confident, assertive, feel more free and equal, and have highest self-esteem compared with previous generations. However, these people tend to possess greater possibilities of having depression, suicide, loneliness, and isolation at the same time. Baby boomers of this era are also more interested in immediate gratification and are more focused on themselves. They endeavor to grab attention or seek admiration as much as possible to satisfy their self-esteem; however, this deformed individual’s decision-making skills and relationship with others.

    People even kill themselves to see a text or picture by texting and driving, if that doesn’t say “were the dumbest generation” I don’t know what does. Our youth is not growing up receiving the knowledge they should be, obviously. I wasn’t completely oblivious to it all, but then I read this article and realized it’s actually a lot worse than I really thought it was. Ray Williams is also right about the fact that “The new elite are the angry social media posters, the ones that can shout the loudest and more often, a clique of bullies and malcontents baying together like dogs cornering a fox” it’s disgusting to see the fact that someone like Kim Kardashian makes more money than someone important, such as a doctor, or a military member all because she made a sex tape. It really infuriates me to know that we have people out there giving their lives so our country can prosper, but all were doing is getting dumber and fatter, the worst part is that most citizens of the U.S.A. can’t even pass the citizenship…

    According to Lauren Shinozuka, in her essay, “The Dangers of Digital Distractedness,” we are a digital generation. She asserts we are celebrated for our aptitude in effortless interactions with society through technology. However, the author questions the effect that this mass use of digital media has on societal and personal interactions and suggests we are alienating ourselves from those around us. She offers the point that we have developed an obsession with high-tech communication and are afflicted by fruitlessly attempting to do too many things at once, as well as automating our interpersonal interactions, disconnecting from genuine contact, and promoting a falsified version of…

    “The Tethered Generation” (Tyler 469) also known as “The Millennial Generation” consists of ages ranging from 8 to 29 years old. It is made up of over 80 billion people born in the United States between 1978 and 1999. The tethered generation is the first to use cell phones, instant messaging, email, social media websites, and many other things since early childhood. With the help of our parents, known as “helicopter parents,” we have not only remained dependent on them, but have also become entirely dependent on technology. It is really hard to imagine how our generation would function without the use of this technology. From my research, I was able to find several pros and cons to the ideas presented by Kathryn Tyler. In her text, “The Tethered Generation,” she talks about millennial connectivity, helicopter parents, and preparing for this tethered…

    It only makes sense that the Me Generation would raise the next generation of narcissists, but millennials are being coined the Me Me Me Generation. That’s two more Me’s than the last. Which begs the question: is our generation significantly more selfish than those before us? If so, what does that mean for the future? One theory is that although the majority of our generation is self interested we are not selfish; our ideology is to the world’s advantage because thinking about our core identity will be what makes us able to tackle the future. A different viewpoint agrees that it’s not millennials that are selfish, but rather the youth of any generation. There is, however, a perspective dead set on the fact that millennials are significantly…

    As the Baby Boomers generation has begun to enter retirement, the next generation of students (Millennial) is entering the workforce with behaviors, ideas, attitudes, and doting parents to be reckoned with. For many years, the word generation has encompassed births that have spanned over several years and allowed for changes occurring over a time period. This new generation of student is called the “Millennial” student and takes over where the Baby Boomers have left off. The article “The Myth of The Millennials” by Edwin Koc (2008) describes the changes that occur between the Baby Boomer generation and the Millennial generation. In this critique, I will discuss whether Edwin Koc’s article is convincing in his analysis of whether or not millennial students do exist; and if not what evidence does is displayed to demonstrate otherwise.…
