Stuck in the Past
As growing adults we continually see a change on many
young adolescents. Many times we will
automatically assume that the younger generations of adolescent’s are completely
different from older generations. Theoretically
this is not all entirely true we are actually being a little close minded when
saying this. We are usually very quick to judge and to state that this younger
generation is very different, but when looking at the big picture it is not necessarily
that this generation is why it’s different. It is more of the fact that the
world surrounding this generation is what’s really making the biggest effect of
this generation.
When you look back at past generations you may see very
close similarities but each and every single one is different. This is not
exactly stating that it is the people itself that is what’s different but more
of the fact that the world is the true thing that is changing and creating
these newer generations to adapt to the new environment. In the article “8
Reasons Why This is The Dumbest Generation” from Boston.com it states
different reasons why this generation is the dumbest one from past generations.
One of the reasons stated today this generation does not read books and that
they do not want to. This is very far from being the truth it’s in comparison
to saying that they don’t like listening to music anymore because cd sales are
at the lowest they’ve been in many years. It is not that this generation does
not like reading books but it is more of the fact that they are reading novels
electronic rather than having an actually hard copy of the book.
