Letter to the Article-

I think this article is a great argument against the stereotype that this generation Y or X is lazy and up to “no good”. This article names many good reasons to take a second look at these generations and question the stereotypes made about it. I agree with many of your statements made about these generations and I wish more people could see the way you do. “Members of the Y generation have seen their parents working long and hard hours, they know about the collapse of pension funds and banks and they do not trust the institutions built by the two previous generations. They are extremely doubtful about our political leaders, and who can blame them when you look around the table of G8 leaders feasting on an absurd banquet?” This quote from the article just shows how this generation views their world today and what should be expected from them because of the economy and politics today.
This article helped me see the other side of the argument considering most of the articles i did read all had the same mental image of thiese generations being lethargic and unable to surpass the standards set in front of it. I’m glad you wrote this article, because it shows that there is more people that believe that this generation has more to offer than lazy and less educated.
