Nothing is Forever Generation X is the term used
to describe and define the generation born after
1970. Although it is given as being this age
group, Generation X is more of a mind set, than an
age. 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

Tragic Hero Main Cause

Hamlet: A Tragic Hero Hamlet, a tragedy written by
William Shakespeare, once again gave me an
opportunity to understand and gain more knowledge
on how Shakespeare regarded most of his main
characters as tragic heroes themselves. Since the

hero named Hamlet. Upon watching Tanghalang
Pilipinos Hamlet at the CCP, the first thing I was
able to notice was the portrayal of the Hamlets
character. As in right from...
