Live Their Lives Mountain Dew
848 wordsIf a person that never lived in the twentieth century visited 1997 for just one day, he or she would probably think that we are all trying to kill ourselves.

Baby Boomers Generation X
763 wordsI believe that Generation X exists, however, I do not think that everyone in this generation fits the description peddled by the media.

The media builds the hype about Generation X, therefore making typical stereotypes seem overwhelmingly to the generation. So, when I am asked the question, Does Generation X really exist or ...

Described as lacking morals, ethics, and diligence, elder generations look down on Xers as if they were willfully deceitful. While truth may lie in some of these accusations, the roots extend far deeper. Generation X lacks a perception of permanence, which causes problems when functioning in the real...
