Interesting topic about Generation Me
I have found a lot of interesting parts about this book. She describes how much more different the baby boomer's generation which consist of all the people that was born between the 1940's through the 1960's. Are more different than the Generation Me which are 1970's and up. Now and days the boomer's think that we are all selfish, Gen X and Gen Y especially. Back then they depended on others to help them out with life as far as husbands were suppose to go out and work and women stayed home and took care of the children. the boomer's think that's how things are suppose to be in life. They are ashamed to see women in offices and women going out and being independent and the men are not being the head of the household. I do not agree with the because i am proud to see our women being very successful. It's a great thing to see that there are not men amongst each other in the biggest offices making decisions. Because most of the time men are going to always agree with each other in the big decision. if we bring the women in on some of these big decisions it would be great. Women bring emotion to the stage and i don't mean that in a bad way that will just make people stop and think about stuff before they do it. Men just go with egos a lot and end up making very big mistakes because they don't want to feel they are soft and unable to make a decision by their self. but that's not what its about and we sometimes lose the focus of whats truly there and that's working together. That's my opinion because i really believe that women are gods greatest creation because they bring emotion. Yes men went out and worked but you ask yourself why did he. Because he wanted to provide for the ones that he love.

Hi Arion,
ReplyDeleteI like that you have decided to answer the last option. Your analysis is what I am most interested in hearing, especially in relation to GenMe. It seems like you begin with a summary of what Twenge has said in regard to the Baby Boomers and their view of Generation Me, but your analysis seems to discuss women and why we should respect them. However, you do discuss the societal implications of the 50s in regard to women. For your next post, look at the post that I have written in the syllabus as an example. If we were to revise this, I would encourage you to discuss what Twenge has to say about societal implications of women in the 50s, but discuss the changes that women have made today. What opportunities do we have that the women in the 50s do not have?
