I read this article recently, and I have to admit that I found it pretty ridiculous. Why? Because I think the reporter is completely wrong. You can read the article here.
Once you've read it, you may wonder why I'm posting it on this website; after all, the article is about 20-somethings, right? This is true, but what's important is that those in high school now are also part of the Millenial or Gen Y generation (the very tail end, it seems, but the age range extends to birthdays in the late 1990s, according to Wikipedia.
What do YOU think about this article? First, it is important to think honestly about our generation (because I too am part of this generation, as crazy as that may seem to some of you guys!). I don't want to say everyone in Gen Y has grown up privileged, because that isn't true. There are so many people our age who are under-privileged, that it would be ridiculous to claim otherwise. We have had unprecedented access to technology and information, that's for sure. With that may have come a feeling of entitlement to knowledge--I know I often feel that way, rightly or wrongly I don't know.
Do you feel entitled to anything? What? Why?
