Assignment
Assignment: Write a thesis-driven essay that discusses current differences between generations.
You will need to address the following four elements:
1) What are the differences? (values, attitudes, behavior, etc.)
2) Why do these differences exist? (political events,
economic situations, social issues, etc.)
3) What are the issues resulting from these differences? (conflicts at work or
school, etc.)
4) What solutions could alleviate these issues? You may not simply say Gen
Y way is best, so just do things their way. Your solutions must include
aspects that utilize ALL the generations’ strengths.
