Author Note
Through this paper three authors are introduced, which provides vast opinions and biases to this
paper. Russ Linden is a management educator and credible author with numerous books. Some
of his books include, Leading Across Boundaries, discussing Millennials. Russ believes that
young people skills and motivation would change the framework of todays government.
Likewise, he speaks how modern technology would help as a tool to share information with the
world. In addition, Joanna Chau is a Writer, reporter, and multimedia Journalist. Joanna
persuades her viewers that Millennials (era 1980-2000), are at me generation rather than a we
generation. In addition, Joanna mentions that Millennials are careless when it comes to the
environment and the major issues associated with it. Moreover, Thomas S. Rainer is a pastor,
researcher, and author of twenty books. This article distinguishes the social behavior in baby
boomers. Thomas view racism from two separate angles and age groups.

Abstract
This paper argues how Millenials are a we generation instead of a me generation. Three
published article add substance to this paper persuading and proving to readers that the
millennial generation is more than self centered and or selfish. Though most readers would
disagree with the notion that millinneals can offer change to the world, this paper is provided to
enlighten readers that we have inherted many traits from pervious generation, which is said to
repeat. In other words, history repeated itself with our generation from our Founding Fathers.

Millennials are not a Me Generation
Millennials are a we generation, instead of a me generation. Reporters can argue that
Homo sapiens who are born from (1980-2000) are more concerned about his or her financial
stability instead of bringing happiness to their life. In addition, Chau, states that with our poor
civic skills, our government will lose its structure. Likewise, Millennials are very biased and
judging in todays society than before. In contrast, Millennials are very satisfied with life from
their fiscal stability. Moreover, the millennial generation will bring change and solutions to
political problems. Furthermore, Millennials are the victims of judgments, but rarely become
offenders. Thus, the millennial generation is financially happy, strong in civics, and often
unbiased (Chau, Joanna 2012).
Millennials are more than a me generation. To begin with, Chau, Joanna explains how
baby boomers, and the X generations viewed self acceptance, affiliation, and community as the
drift rather than fame, image, and money. Likewise, college students in 1971 placed financial
stability number eight for their lifetime goal. At present, financial stability is rated number one
for the millennial generation life goal. Though as everyone reads Money does not bring
happiness, in today's economy, financial stability enables the buyer to exercise the activities he
or she are pleased with. In accession, having money decreases the chance for stealing, which can
result in jail time. The question I explore though, would be millennial parents who were born in
generation X, install into their youngsters that we must be financially stable in this world in order
to live. In other words, the millennial generation is not to blame for our upbringing that financial
stability is important and can bring happiness.

Moreover, Chau states that Millennials are uncaring and unwilling when dealing with
government policies. In contrast, this statement is insulting and inaccurate. Though his readers
may take issue because Chau, Joanna, is a writer, reporter, and multimedia journalist; Russ,
Linden, who is a management educator, and credible author of numerous books enlighten us on
the history about Millennials and politics. Russ, explains about four generational types, and how
they repeat themselves through history. Civics is one of the four generational types that the
millennial generation has. In addition, our Founding Fathers also were Civics, in which Russ was
able to compare the Founding Fathers political leadership to our soon to be extraordinary
leadership (Russ, 2009).
Furthermore, readers believe that Millennials are biased and judgmental. Though this is
not a firm point to say why Millennials are a me generation instead of a our generation, it is
however not dependable. With this statement laughter comes from Millennials children. We are
accepting and a changing generation. The Millennial generation does not judge anyone by their
race or sexual Orientation, which is the biggest event. Yes, comments may be made, but
judgement does come from Millennials.
Concluding, Millennials are not a me generation, but a we generation. Millennials are not
misplaced, but a radical, raw, detrimental generation devoted to change in our politics and
community and offer peace, judgement free.
