re: Why does this generation lack creativity?

quote:

---

They are the entitlement generation ... they believe everything is owed them, therefore they have no motivation to seek anything for themselves. And that applies to some, not all, by any means.

They have been raised by video games, liberal progressive TV and movies, and by parents too busy trying to make ends meet, or keep up with the Jones, to actually take special interest in seeing their children develop viable healthy imaginations and creative internal drives.

This generation has little to no respect for anything. They have very few manners. They have even fewer social skills.

Here's the irony.

Yesterday it was revealed that, next to mortgage debt, educational debt is the second largest debt in the country. And it was also revealed that kids are dropping out of school at a higher rate than ever before in the history of this country.

Why?

Because they've learned that the government will pay them enough to sustain them through life ... no need to actually be creative, and work for it any longer.

They've learned that their parents will allow them to move back home and live in their old bedrooms.

They've learned they can have babies and not have to marry, or worry about how to pay for them ... because Uncle Sugar and their parents will take care of all of that.

It's simply easier to lay back, copy things, and enjoy life compared to say ... I dunno, being creative and carving their own niche in the history of the world.

Many of them believe they are actually doing something by being expert trolls on the Internet, or by being disrespectful to their elders or ... well, you asked.

We are also the most altruistic generation ever with decidedly more money and time spent on helping others. In addition, our generation is the most adept at multitasking and handling all the billion things that go on in a day.

Not saying you're wrong in the complaints, but there are some positives as well.
