What I'm about to talk about is really not something new but is still relevant. Older people don't get the younger generation and the younger generation doesn't get the older generation. Age Bashing is pretty rough.
I feel it is due really to common misconceptions with people and age groups. People have a tendency to STEREOTYPE age groups of people. The baby boomer generation is kinda on its way out. They hate the way the younger generation seems to not care about anything.
Well the reader needs to understand that people are always going to relate something to something. Its just the way the human mind works. If i mention a noun (Person, place, or thing) You're going to relate it to something ....you already know of. That's how people LEARN things.
Now lets examine this Age Bashing thing. I am 30 years old...meaning i have 3 decades of life on this planet. Now a decade is only 10 years. So if someone is born in 1994, just add 2 decades to that and get 2014. So they won't be my age until 2024. Its not hard to work backwards or forwards with Math.
We millennial are by nature used to doing things quick and easy. We are.....I hate to say it, SPOILED. We are used to getting everything right away and when we want it. Ok, so the Baby Boomers are seemingly handicap to the ways of the aforementioned age group. They really struggle with technology. I have BB parents so I know. My father does seem to get this technology stuff however. He knows you have to STUDY these things cause technology is ALWAYS changing.
So why am I writing this now? Well I saw some STUPID kids on TV with Donald Trump hats on dissing some Native Americans. These (white) kids were catholic and they don't understand that their ancestors basically destroyed the native americans who are the rightful owners of the Continental United States. Seeing their disrespect on TV made me wanna hurl. TEACH YOUR KIDS something. for F***s sake
