Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - How would you define the newest western generation?

Last night me and a group of friends were having a discussion about what are the more dominating characteristics of our generation. This is what we have came up with. Would you agree or disagree? Agree that there is no 'right' or 'wrong' answer? *cough bench sitter*

Society: We are more engaging and interconnected than the previous generations, we have more friends in the cyber network than in reality. But we struggle to establish ourselves into communities. We believe we should interact with each other in total disregard of race, ethnicity, gender national origin over benefiting from the diversity. We don't believe in turning complexity into opportunity. We are indecisive. We like shunning over praising. We are the 'look-at-me-generation.' We have more demand to get rich young.

Gender wise: Males are not getting enough attention compared to females. Males are not as in touch into their masculinity. Women leaders are supported more but also are more criticized due to double standards.

Politically: We are a dominating liberal. When the larger culture tells minorities to get with the program we no longer support you if you resist but we claim that we do. We Basically if we find out that you are not liberal in the political sense, you must be dummer than us. We will vote on not who we think will be the best to lead our country, but who will be the least worse. We will also sometimes vote for change, the positive and negative impacts are secondary.

Theologically :We are starting to adore our own version of a morally permissive Buddhism-like theology. We want the most guilt-free lifestyle as possible. Some of us may be Christian, but we are mostly always anti organisation Christian. Not always for intelligent reasons. We get hellophobic and homophobic people mixed up and misunderstand the word 'fundamentalist.' We have a wider range of understanding in theologies, but not a very in-depth one.
