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.

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

    At the beginning of the article, Stein seems to criticize millennials by stating that "what millennials are most famous for besides narcissism is its effect: entitlement" (28). By calling millennials narcissistic and entitled, the reader could believe that Stein does not favor millennials. In reality, Stein does favor millennials, but he has presented all the facts and data for his counter argument first. Another argument that those with opposing opinions may have is that Joel Stein is condemnatory of millennials at the beginning of the article, therefore he is ineffective in convincing his audience that millennials are not as bad as they are perceived to be. Stein only criticizes millennials in the first half of the article to catch the attention of readers and to draw people in so that they will find the article interesting and will continue to read. Stein states at the beginning of the article that millennials are, "cocky about their place in the world" to emphasize that they feel entitled (29). This criticism appeals to readers and…

    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…

    Jean M. Twig informs her audience how the increasing rate of smartphone use has been beneficial to this generation of teens but it also has had a negative impact on their mental health in her article Have Smart Phones Destroyed a Generation. This article mainly appeals to the parents of this generation of teens because it gives the audience extensive information on what platforms their children are using on social media and how they work. Another indication that she is mainly addressing parents is that she often compares the millennial generation to the Baby boomer generation, which is the generation most parents today grew up in. There appears to be an emotional tie to the audience because she informs the readers how the increase of technology…

    “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…

    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…

    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…

These authors, Elam, Stratton, and Gibson further discuss that, currently the US population is comprised of five generations; the most recent is the millennial generation and are the majority of college students at this time.

    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.…
