MARIA HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT SIMON SINEK'S VIDEO ON MILLENNIALS

Who are the Millennials?

Millennials are people who were born from 1984 on, so I am a millennial and since I’m a part of them I’m going to refer to millennials using we.

So basically we are accused of being narcissistic, unfocused, self-interested, tough to manage, lazy and entitled. The last one means that we claim something without even working to get it.

All those adjectives describes only a part of us because we aren’t all equal. Maybe the majority of millennials recognize themselves in those definitions but it’s wrong to say that we are all like that, it’s not good to generalize.

HAS TECHNOLOGY RUINED OUR LIVES?

Has technology ruined our lives? Should we consider it progression or regression ? We watched two videos in our English lessons, we discussed them together and we also wrote our reflections on the issues they deal with.  

In the first video Simon Sinek tells us about Millenials, people born approximately 1984 and after.  He tells how the Millenials are rarely truly happy or satisfied and that they are accused of being entitled, unfocused, lazy and narcissistic. But he also explains that it is not their fault, there are  several different reasons and one of them is their excessive use of technological devices and social media.
