14I 12 Clash of the Generations

I heard the best news that any student could hear, my Online Communication professor saying no class on Monday November 18; just as we were getting ready to cheer instead we were meeting in the Adanti Student Center Ballroom, to hear Kim Lear speak from 12-2 PM about the different types of generations that are out there. For many of us college students we are in the millennial generation, those who are born between 1982 and 1995. What is interesting is that this is the most studied generation in American history. Another interesting thing is that was mentioned was the parenting difference between the Baby Boomers and Generation X; it was said that the parents who were born in the Generation X time and have kids who were born in the Millennial Generation had a closer bond than any of the other generations. It was also interesting how Kim Lear said that those who had parents that were born in Generation X were skeptical, and told their kids exactly how it was and didn’t try to sugar coat anything because they want them to be prepared for the real world just like they had to be.
