Sooo I'm perusing Wikipedia at the moment and ended up looking up different generations... First they say this about "Generation Z":
Quote:
They roughly span the birth years of 1995-2009 give or take some years. Following Generation Y, they are typically the children of Generation X; their parents also include the youngest Baby Boomers and some of the oldest Generation Y-ers.
OK, so the oldest kids in this generation are turning fifteen this year, and the youngest are babies, according to this... however most other things I've read put it as beginning in 2001, and Generation Y as 1982-2000.
Then the article goes on to say this:
Quote:
Other traits shown by generation Z are a lack of morals and ethics.
How can that be known about a generation is basically nine years old right now, or even essentially five years old if other sources of these ridiculous things are taken into account?
Then there be mine.
Quote:
Kurt Andersen, the prize winning contributor to Vanity Fair writes in his book Reset: How This Crisis Can Restore Our Values and Renew America writes that many among the Millennial Generation view the 2008 election of Barack Obama as uniquely theirs, and he writes about this generational consensus building as being more healthy and useful than the counterculture protests of the late 1960s and early 1970s, going as far to say that if Millennials can "keep their sense of entitlement in check, they might just turn out to be the next Greatest Generation". However due to the Global financial crisis of 2008-2009 this generation is also beginning to be compared to the Lost Generation of the early 20th century. Generation Y also appears to have an overwhelming favor towards independent music over the bulk of major label music and the music industry in general.
I dun want a global financial crisis. The feeling of being doomed to failure is greater every day.
Quote:
This generation is also sometimes referred to as the Boomerang Generation or Peter Pan Generation because of their possible penchant for delaying some of the rites of passage into adulthood longer than most generations before them, and because of a trend toward living with their parents for longer than recent generations.
Well, duh. Student loans are a tad ridiculous nowadays if you don't go to a state school.
Edit:
Now on to things about genetics... Ahahahaha it's after 5:00 in the morning and I've only got a page left on this crazy easy essay, but am not tired. But this is reminding me of when I started going to the high school I attended when I was in ninth grade. One of my brothers and I were sent there originally as kind of a trial or something, and the following year two of my other brothers, the ones old enough at the time, started attending. Anyway, I was in ninth grade, and my brother was in eighth... and
nobody believed we were related when I told them because we looked nothing alike. Hahahahahaha. He looks like my father except with straight blond hair and blue eyes, and I look like neither of my parents at all outside of the fact that I have my father's dark brown/almost black eyes and most likely got the wave in my hair from him. Meanwhile, I look like a mixture of two of my great-grandparents, with my maternal grandmother's nose that none of her four biological children or thirteen other grandchildren inherited. Yeah, we look nothing alike. The only resemblance I bear to either of my parents is that when I smile I have similar cheeks as my mother when she smiles, just not as prominent because my cheek bones aren't as prominent to begin with (she's got the ones of a model). When dead panning, we look absolutely nothing alike. Of my four brothers, too, only the youngest kind of looks like me, but that's just because he has the same eyes (shape, not just color). Everything else is no. All of this has been confirmed for me time and again by people who've met the rest of my family.
Of course, realizing that I look like people several generations back in my family leads me to believe that my phenotype is the result of the meeting of a bunch of recessive genes. If I have biological children, they might have my eye color, but that will probably be it.
Look at this stupid rambling. PROCRASTINATION.
