Millennials
\nare seen as the new evolving generation. We are the generation of changes and
\nsocial justice. The millennial generation is the generation adapted to the
\nsocialist society, based on our capabilities that differentiate us from past
\ngenerations capabilities. We are the generation of impossible dreaming, that
\nhas taken our skills to a higher level than previous generations. We are the
\ngeneration that goes beyond the limits and explores multiple things at the same
\ntime, making us multitaskers. <\/p>\n

Society
\nis built upon generations. As in now, this society is emerging the generation
\nof millennials. Who are the millennials? The millennials are the generation
\nthat changed society in its whole. Millennials are those that were born in the
\npeak of the evolution of technology. We expanded that technology. Millennials
\nare adaptive to the world, we make it our own, and we built it upon our need
\nand the rest of the society\u2019s needs. Past generations were not capacitated to
\ndo what millennials are capable of doing. To prove this, we need to understand
\nhow the society worked before and how does it work now. We differentiate from
\npast generations because we are impossible dreamers. People of the past
\ngenerations are seen as a pessimistic generations of the future America,
\nsomething that the millennials have changed. The millennial generation is the
\ngeneration adapted to the socialist society, based on our capabilities that
\ndifferentiate us from past generations capabilities. This has made the
\nmillennials capable of a more stable economic system. <\/p>\n

Therefore; to understand where we come from, what we think, what we do, what we need and what we are capable, first we need to know the origin of the millennial generation. \u201cThere are no precise dates for when the generation starts and ends.\u201d (Joel Snell) \u00a0Most researchers use the birth years ranging from the early 1980s to around 2000. The article Generation Y by Joel Snell, he states that \u201cIn 2013, a global generational study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers with the University of Southern California and the London Business School defined Millennials as those born between 1980 and 1995.\u201d In 2014, a comparative study from Dale Carnegie Training and MSW Research was released which studies Millennials compared to other generations in the workplace<\/a>. This study described \u201cMillennial\u201d birth years between 1980\u20131996. Therefore we can state that Millennials are the generation between 1983 through 2000.<\/p>\n

However;
\nwe are the current generation in charge of this world. To understand how the
\nmillennials view things around them, we need to know and understand what the
\npolitical standards are in this generation. First, what is capitalism?
\n\u201cCapitalism is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights,
\nincluding property rights, in which all property is privately owned. The
\nrecognition of individual rights entails the banishment of physical force from
\nhuman relationships: basically, rights can be violated only using force\u201d. (Ayn
\nRand) Why do we reject capitalism? In a socialist society, we protect each
\nother, not fight against. Millennials are expected to be more inclined to work
\nfor companies that give back to society rather than for-profit companies that
\ndo not work for the betterment of the world. This way we can control what goes
\naround us. Millennials need to be in control. Yes, we feel the need to be in
\npower, to know everything. This is because we demand ourselves more, unlike the
\npast generations we want to do more than what is necessary. Past generations
\nonly worked on one thing, and they devoted their lives to that one thing, that
\nthey needed to survive. Also, past generations rely on capitalism, and this
\nlead them to failure and instability. \u00a0Millennials decided to protect each
\nother and not against. The government has one function, and that is; to protect
\nthe society, our rights, and our needs. Now with this said millennials don\u2019t
\nlike capitalism like past generations. The millennials have been raced in a
\ndifferent environment, and they prefer socialism over capitalism. We are the
\nexception.<\/p>\n

Millennials are diverse. In 2010, Pew Research Center Study revealed that 67 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds agreed that increasing ethnic and racial diversity is a good thing. Millennials are open-minded; we see the world from a different (beneficial) point of view. Including diversity means, everyone together, we don\u2019t separate each other because we are different. If not, we see this as an advantage that will help us evolve, in many areas like technology. Millennials support same-sex marriage, support equality, and very diverse in religious matters. Diversity defines millennials as the generation of change and justice. Something that past generations attempted but failed due to the lack of ignorance.<\/p>\n

Millennials
\nare experts in multitasking. We do everything at once we think beyond our
\ncapabilities. As millennials, we try to everything we can on our own. Many of
\nus have more than one capabilities, and we chose to practice them at the same
\ntime. This way we gain intelligence thought our hard work, we prefer this, over
\ndoing nothing. We are focused, and determine on what we would like to do and
\nbe. While researching this specific topic, an article entitled \u201cCharacteristics
\nof the Millennial Generation\u201d was found. This article states that there are
\nseven characteristics of our generation. They include: special, sheltered,
\nconfident, team-oriented, achieving, pressured, and conventional. Interests
\nbetween this article and another were similar and interesting to connect. The
\narticle entitled \u201cMaximizing Millennials in the Workplace\u201d focuses on the
\nimportance of the millennials in the workplace, and also what kind of effect
\nand impact they have already made in the workplace as of today. \u00a0We like
\nand environment that will enable us to concentrate. From our academic
\ndevelopment, we differentiated from past generations, based on our
\ndetermination on our academics. \u00a0\u201cCurrent research suggests that the
\nMillennial generation exhibits different characteristics to previous
\ngenerations, which implies that for this new generation requirements and
\nexpectations of the learning environment are likely to be quite unlike that of
\nprevious generations (Howe & Strauss, 2000; Oblinger, 2003; Poindexter,
\n2003; Raines, 2002). \u201c (Dwyer, Diana) \u00a0We are the exception of past
\ngeneration because of this not only we are multitaskers, we like to have
\nknowledge over more than one thing, in this case, we do not limit ourselves.
\nThere is something called the gig economy. What is the Gig Economy? \u201cIn a gig
\neconomy, temporary, flexible jobs are commonplace, and companies tend toward
\nhiring independent contractors and freelancers instead of full-time employees.
\nA gig economy undermines the traditional economy of full-time workers who
\nrarely change positions and instead focus on a lifetime career.\u201d
\n(Inverstopedia) This way millennials are adaptable to almost any type of work.
\nAlso, this enables us to gain more money, by having multiple jobs. Also,
\nattached to this millennials tend to have more than one degree. This is because
\nwe want to continue developing our silks and not to limit our capabilities. By
\nperforming more than one degree, major, or concentration we open different
\nopportunities in the gig economy. Past generations, would never though of doing
\nsuch thing, they would work extra hours, in the same job for more cash.
\nMeanwhile, the Millennials, worked less, in different things and gained more. <\/p>\n

According to James Potter, the Millennial Generation is also known as the \u201cM Generation,\u201d since millennials are expected to consume massive amounts of media, much more than any other previous generation (Potter, 2012). Something that has separated us from past generation is the amount of media that we consume in our daily lives. Thanks to our technology evolution we have been able to have more ways of communicating<\/a>. Also, millennial generation\u2019s perception of time has been skewed by things like fast-passes at Disneyland, speedy checkout lanes in grocery stores, same-day shipping through online shopping, and even early decision applications to colleges. The idea that they should receive things with little to no wait time has made them inept in situations where they must be patient. Overall, the perception of millennials by prior generations has been negative, but the reality is that millennials have merely grown up in a new technological era and have adapted as such, modifying their ways of life to fit the ease and accessibility of both new and old media presence. The impact of media on the millennial generation is quite extensive, as today\u2019s culture is constantly bombarded by mass media. Whether mass media is consumed by way of the Internet, social media or older types of media such as television, constant over-saturation has led to a state of perpetual automaticity in the millennial generation more so than in any prior generation. According to James Potter, \u201cwhen [people] are too concerned with efficiency, [they] lose opportunities to expand [their] experience and to put [themselves] in a position to make better decisions that can make [them] healthier, wealthier, and happier\u201d (Potter, 2012). This means that the automaticity prevalent in today\u2019s generations is becoming detrimental to their ways of life, in that they only tune in the media they know and care about, so they do not get the full experience of media that may improve their lives in some way. Because they are more exposed, this leads them to look further into those views and become much more open-minded to what they see compared to previous generations who tend to be stuck in one way. Because millennials are more open-minded towards others; this leads to having conflicts with those who are older that grew up in a different way. Previous generations didn\u2019t grow up with information from around the world at their fingertips. They are only familiar with what happened to them or people close to them. Because the Millennials are more open to new things, there are have things done in our society today that has never been done before. <\/p>\n

In
\nconclusion; millennials are capable of many more things that past generation
\nhave failed to do so. We are adapted to a socialist society that benefits us,
\nbased on our capacities and knowledge, to protect our society. Millennials keep
\nevolving and creating new adaptable changes to society. <\/p>\n
