The two articles that were read were very similar in my opinion and had a lot of the same points about generation me kid’s being to over confident and greedy, and basically selfish. Although I do agree with most of what was said in both reading I felt that they were being a little harsh in how they describes college students actions and thoughts making it sound like absolutely everyone bourn in this time frame acts like that. Just because Terrell Owens or Donald trump who probably isn’t even a “generation me” say things to make them sounds selfish doesn’t mean we should all be put under that category, but do to statistics that’s how the world works. One part I liked about the why worry article is when they talked about how this generation may not just act like this due to selfishness or arrogance, but it may be because the bad economic situation, the columbine shooting, and 9/11 which they said just may make us have a higher tolerance for stress. I’m not sure if that idea may be true, but I did like the fact that the author gave alternative reasons, and didn’t just try to assume of point out the obvious. Life does seem a lot different from how it was generations ago but times change and people have to expect that, so if generations before the generation me think that kids or college students aren’t independent enough or as one of the article says “wimpy” then let life hit them in the face and im sure there outlook will change eventually.
