generation definition

I actually agreed with the statement that the generation of people I was born in are over privilaged and do not understand or act on the notion of hard work. I find that I encounter many people my own age who do not know how to work hard for things. People are used to be given things and opportunities without having to strive for them. At the same time I can understand that our generation is just not use to working hard the same way that past generations did. Today we are required to be able to work well with technology instead of knowing how to push a plow through a field. But I do know from personal experience that my generation has a different idea of what it means to work hard, whether or not it is wrong is subjective. I find myself not understanding the work that my parents had to put in to create the life they have. At the same time my parents don't understand the things that I have to go through in order to achieve my goals. http://youtube.com/watch?v=RY1Bl4nfpdA is a video about the indigo girls and their song "Closer to Fine." I think the Indigo Girls write songs with great messages that make you think. This particular song I like because it expresses the viewpoing that there are many answers to the same question and that life is an adventure of growing. Do you find this valuable?

i do not completely agree with you because the new generation does work but they do not work like the people use to back then. many of the people that i know and around my age too, do work because they want to be more independent. also many want to be able to make money in order to buy stuff that is expensive or in general things they need.another thing is out of high school many can not afford college so many of them just work.maybe you can say that the new generation does not appreciate the way they live because they have it pretty easy compared to back then!!

I really do believe that it depends on the persons back ground because if you say the generation that's including everyone in that generation, that only depends on the person individually. Do you find this valuable?
