EOC week 3: My DemoGraphic

Being apart of the millennial generation is both humbling and disappointing. From the sources that I have found over the web, it seems we have much potential for great things but have no direction as a whole. Growing up with electronics enables us to be proficient were past generations are not. But the advancement in technology isn’t good enough for us. We insist that we need have a “unique characteristic: that show brightly on whatever we own. Here is a quote from pew research center publications, “They embrace multiple modes of self-expression. Three-quarters have created a profile on a social networking site. One-in-five have posted a video of themselves online. Nearly four-in-ten have a tattoo (and for most who do, one is not enough:”
         The millennial generation is also viewing ethnicity as becoming less and less important. As the cultures and colors and religions are being mixed, we are slowly becoming a more welcoming generation, where the instinct of prejudice and pre-judgment is being used less.
         Unfortunately it seems that the only way to obtain a successful job is to get a higher education. But at this moment in time the easiest way to do this is to take out a lone, seeing as most of our generation is unemployed with little work experience. “Research shows that young people who graduate from college in a bad economy typically suffer long-term consequences -- with effects on their careers” Says pew research center publications.
