Generation "y"

When reading this artical it made me think l a lot more about our generation and who we are as whole. This quote, " millennials, born between 1982 and 2002, have been depicted more recently by employers, professors and earnestly concerned mental-health experts as entitled whiners who have been spoiled by parents who overstoked their self-esteem, teachers who granted undeserved A’s and sports coaches who bestowed trophies on any player who showed up. I think this statement is a hot-spot of the reading because it's a big opinion about our generation. I don't understand how they can the writer can have generalization's about our generation as a whole. Who gives the other generations the right to pass these judgement's when most generations of the past 60 years were brought up they same way for the most part besides the technology we have these days. "Sports coaches who bestowed trophies on any player who showed up", for a coach to give every player a trophy on a sports team is the right thing to do because showing up is what being part of a team is. Even if your not a starting player there is know "I" in team and it takes a whole team to get the time bigger. This was a point made that upset me very much because I'v been playing sports my whole life and even if your not the best player on  the team or a "starting player" it takes the team to get each other a better player through practice. National Association of Colleges and Employers. “Over 90 percent think they have a perfect résumé. The percentage who think they will have a job in hand three months after
graduation is now 57 percent. I have trouble understanding this because isn't this why we go through all this education? If its so hard to get a job after a 4 years of and expensive college career. There basically implying there system is not working. This was a very interesting read for me because it brought a lot of questions into my mind about me our country/world and our generation.

Liars

White Lie: For example when a mom or significant other ask you if this dress looks good on them. You say yes but truly you don't think that, but you don't want to hurt there feelings.

Deflection lie: Say when we were kids and our parents would be arguing at us for something and we argue back with no true point to defend ourselves.

Facades lies: When some asks you if you are part of a particular sports team and one puts a front on to make them seem as if they were but truly aren't.

Omission lies: When we see a friends girlfriend out at a night club for instance and we see her being inappropriate dancing and kissing on another male, and never say anything to the friend.

Dismissle: One night in chico me and some friends were downtown partying till late at night. My friend that was tired and wanted to walk home, he lived four blocks away but it was 4am in the morning. I told him not to walk home and stay at my house because its not safe by yourself that late at night anywhere. He ended up getting jumped and his wallet and sell phone stolen. 

Ignoring the plain facts: In high school I had a friend that was using the drug oxy-contin. At first I just thought it was recreational and a phase but didn't pay attention to how bad the using of the drug really was and my friend ended up going to rehab.

Stereotypes: Growing up in a very white area had an impact on me when I was a little kid, thinking that all
"different" colored people were dangerous and scary per-say. After growing up and meeting plenty of other people not white like me ended my stereotype on labeling other skin colored people.

Group-thinking: When I worked construction over the summer I was working with my brother and one other fellow worker. We were finishing up the day which was rapidly turning into night. Our boss forgot to give us the key and all of agreed not to call him to some how get hold of the key. We didn't and left the tools hidden behind the work site tool shed and the next morning is was all gone.

Out-n-out lies: A very long time ago me and my brother and my mom were hiking  Tahoe and as we were on the trail I completly saw my brother liter his Granola bar rapper on the ground, and when my mom totally saw him do it he denied it. (we were in the middle of the woods)

Delusion: Last semester I was taking a science class, and Science is one of my better subjects. When the final came around I had a high C for my grade so I told myself I didn't need to study for the final because I already knew it all. I didn't, got a D in the class and currently re-taking the class this semester.

RANTS

I watched the rant on the guy who farted in queen scoopers video. It was a very well put, interesting, and hilarious video to watch, The lady was in a super market is the produce section and a young man farted in the produce section for  everyone to hear. I think this was the "hot spot" of the video because the rant is about on how some one cant wait to not fart in the produce section where all of the food is out and clean. The lady explained how AFTER HE FARTS THE OTHER CUSTOMERS PLUS HERSELF HAVE TO BUY THE POO PARTICAL INFESTED PRODUCE. This is absoulutly disgusting why can't people not be selfish, and self-centered to hold that fart like a normal person in society. I completely agree with the women in the video how she did this the fart was a pretty good one, how it was long and loud which I felt was very funny becauser farting is a part of life just privately. I do disagree withe the lady when she says " the man deserves to wear a bag with an F on it like in a scarlet letter to alert the rest of the public to the fact that u fart in public". No one deserves to wear something that demeaning towrds themselves just because they far, like I said before we all fart and it is a part of life.
