Our generation is different

Our generation is different because we tend to be more nurtured as we grow up. This makes us spoiled and we tend to expect everything to be given to us on a golden plate. It is however important to mention that not all the individuals in our generation are like this.

We are unique in such a way that we are dependant and use a lot of more technology than the other generations. This is off course only natural given the advances in technology during our time.

The issues of our generation are unemployment and the environmental threat. In Sweden, about 25% of the youth are unemployed and not to mention that if we do not change our society, and our way of living drastically soon. It will have enormous consequences for our planet and it’s climate.

We dream about the issues that we mentioned being solved.

We think that the European perspective is similar to the Swedish one. Except perhaps the perspective of the less fortunate nations. They might focus more on ending poverty and constructing a functional society for themselves.

All generations had its problems ...

We in the Millennial generation are quite different from the Baby Boomers and from the Generation X. I would say we are somewhere in between. The hard-working and ambitious attitude of the Baby Boomer, and the more rebellious and laid back attitude, makes the Millennial generation end up somewhere in between. While the Baby Boomers followed the rules, Generation X broke them, and the Millennial generation rewrites them. We are like a new version of the Baby Boomers, but more modern and less family-oriented.

We in the Millennial generation have a lot of problems. All generation had their problems, but I would dare to say that ours has the worst problems. As all other generations we have poverty and wars, but our generation has another problem of even higher importance. We have the problem with the environment. Whatever that next generation will be called, the environmental problems will affect them greatly if our generation doesn’t do anything about it.
