When my mother was getting on in years (She lived to see 90 and three great grandchildren) she said to me that she was glad that she was closer to death-she would not have to live to see the next generation! I must be getting on in years, too, because I can’t imagine what the West will look like in years to come. I have been listening to the comments and opinions expressed by and about the Millennials and the Snowflakes-yes you heard right-the latest generation has been labelled Snowflakes. I have trouble with the names of the different generations, so I looked them up. ”Millennials (also known as Generation Y, Generation Me and Echo Boomers) are the demographic cohort following Generation X, a person reaching young adulthood around the year 2000.” And “Generation Snowflake, or Snowflake Generation, is a term that refers to young people, typically university or college students, who seek to avoid emotionally charged topics or dissenting ideas and opinions.”
