In Generation Me‚ by Jean Twenge‚ the attacks on the generations’ ways of life and standards for living are far-fetched‚ in my opinion.

These things have little to do with major problems such as global warming or the oil crisis‚ and are more about Twenge’s own personal pet peeves. Yes‚ we want to be happy‚ but who doesn’t? Doing well by ourselves

Me I am sentimental‚ outgoing‚ indecisive‚ understanding‚ curious‚ naive‚ lazy‚ crazy and young. I want to be…‚ well a lot of things‚ and growing is discovering what they are.

not have to go into the military if you join. If you are lacking in responsible adults in your life that teach you life lessons then JROTC can be really good. Or just if you need a new crowd of people to hang around with who will be positive influences. JROTC has taught me what I would not have learned in any other class in high school. Junior ROTC is unique because it gives us the independence to make decisions that impact us directly and we are free to make the organization our own. The

Typical Me Anger. A controlling sensation of which I have lived with my entire life: an experience of truly horrific re-occurrences. When I say that my anger is controlling I don’t mean that I have my occasional little tantrums‚ I go into another state of mind‚ one of which only a few people have yet seen me in. It is unimaginably frightful for people around me and even worse for me. It interests me‚ my anger‚ and it makes me wonder what a human being is capable of‚ what lengths a certain emotion

“Supersize me” Opinion I felt like supersize me was a great way to finally educate consumers a little bit about how their food is made and to make more conscious decisions when deciding what to eat. It also made me feel disgusted with fast food in general and made me think twice before putting my money in their pockets for something that you just put in your mouth and can’t be called actual food because it isn’t food and has little to no nutritional value. I think that this documentary goes even
