These Today’s Millennials
An Empirical Study of Age and Generational Characteristics in the USA – Book review
Abstract
“Today's young people don't care about anything”
This sentence can also be written with a period and a question mark at the end. According to popular belief, this statement may be even more appropriate for the Now Generation, or the Millennials. Encouraged by this way of thinking, I started searching for writings that would give some kind of answer to this suggestion. And Cynthia Pearce Lemay's book, Millennials and Conflict in the Workplace, Understand the Unique Traits of the Now Generation, gives much more than I first thought.
