Did I like it? That is a harder question then I even thought it could be. My initial response would be to say no I did not. I think the reason for this being is that it scares me somewhat. She is very negative towards our generation. She only wrote one very positive chapter. This somewhat made me lose a bit of respect for the book. With that said. Yes, I did like it as a reading of fiction. I no longer believe everything she said.
I am still a bit undecided but I think I would like to write about one of the topics that I did agree with Twenge on. That is that topic of our lack as a generation of voter participation. We as a nation with each generation of had a steady decline in voting.
I would like to explore in greater detail why exactly this has occurred. If it is more because we do not feel our opinion matter or just shear laziness.
I agree with the negativity assessment. She almost seems bitter about something at times, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteDo you think voting rates will increase or decrease as Generation Me become older? Why do you think Generation Me feels that their votes doesn't matter?
