We live in a time of questioning the “higher-ups”: our parents, the government, religion, and everyone who has power over us. So why cant we do this? Why not? Why cant we smoke weed? Why can’t we procrastinate? Why can’t we drink? Why can’t we have sex before marriage? These questions define our generation, not as a group of reckless rebels, but as a group of advocates to explore what the generations before us were too conforming to achieve.Spencer Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838528791203603092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45195670928399270.post-89384869845682034622010-12-01T16:19:45.265-08:002010-12-01T16:19:45.265-08:00I would just like to say that what Ismaeel said ha...I would just like to say that what Ismaeel said has something to do with what we talked about in my english class last time. We spoke about how technology is changing all of us. We ARE going to be dependent on technology, BUT what about the people who are against technology, won't they rise up and argue? Also, think about those new E-book-reader things. They do NOT replace the wonderful feeling of holding a book in your hands. (I know the original topic was about generations, but I had to get this out...)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431066927413525547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45195670928399270.post-73026870688361585732010-12-01T11:24:14.789-08:002010-12-01T11:24:14.789-08:00Ms. Berman asked me to do some research on the nex...Ms. Berman asked me to do some research on the next upcomig generation(generation alpha) and here is some interesting info. <br /><br />An Australian news site says that researchers and sociologists say generation alpha will be the most formally educated gen in history. But I think that at the rate the world is globalizing this won't really continue because we will start becoming more and more independent in technology to the point where the whole involvement of the thinking process is limited. That is after 50 years or so...<br /><br />http://www.news.com.au/features/babies-born-from-2010-to-form-generation-alpha/story-e6frfl49-1225797766713Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040170845672515506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45195670928399270.post-81466774873096151072010-12-01T10:16:29.481-08:002010-12-01T10:16:29.481-08:00I agree wholeheartedly!

Hopefully with the internet those large generational gaps in ideals will be bridged by the new paths of communication. <br />As older generations take the time to listen to youth (as you always have! Thats why you gain your students trust and support) I think they acknowledge that learning didn't end with their education. <br />I spend quite a bit of time talking online with older generations in my work, they say the same thing-- the ideas of the youth are infiltrating the internet and blogs and areas of advancement, and I believe the general consensus I get from them is that this isn't a bad thing in any way.<br />I think Blogs have given youth the voice they don't necessarily get from speaking out loud-- it's a very powerful tool! And important, especially when keeping in mind the idea of collective identity that Nathan described, because as the world changes at a faster rate the rate of communication exchange needs to increase as well.
