Mark Bauerlein seems to believe that is the dumbest generation because research has shown that knowledge skills and intellectual habits have gone down‚ and although some people agree with him‚ others don’t. I believe this generation isn’t the dumbest because there are other things that need to be considered when calling someone‚ a group of people‚ or even an entire generation stupid or dumb‚ rather than just knowledge skills and intellectual habits. Knowledge isn’t all about what people know or

In Generation Me‚ by Jean Twenge‚ the attacks on the generations’ ways of life and standards for living are far-fetched‚ in my opinion. Twenge remarks on how generation me is self-absorbed‚ politically uninvolved‚ too direct and to the point‚ against tradition‚ and all about personal happiness. 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?

Josh Finley March 5th‚ 2015 The Beat Generation cannot be adequately characterized by a single theme or philosophy. Their influences came from a wide array of personalized experiences immersed in historical and political revolutions and communicated through individual creativity. The literary work of Beat writers inspired a generation of “hipsters” to attempt elusion of a “square” lifestyle fixated on conformity and conventionalism‚ for which‚ in the Beat’s opinion‚ was ultimately contributing
