I just don't get at all. Why do some people feel the need to put labels on everything? Next week the new season of Survivor officially starts. This time it's Generation X vs. Millennials. Personally, I despise the term generation. To me, when somebody uses the term generation, they're just labeling, and labels mean nothing.
Yes, we all have our differences, but our differences are petty. When are those people going to realize that we're a lot more alike then we are different. At the end of the day, we all bleed red, breathe the same air, eat the same food, and feel pain the same way. I mean, is a label really necessary? It seems like a really superficial concept.

Why don´t you make a poll about it and we can all vote?

I've been doing some research on this subject. There's definitely conflicting information. There are so many different opinions on where lines are drawn as far as the generations. Some say this, and others say that. Although, that's not the most interesting part.
In my research, I've also come across sources that say there are really no generations at all. The most curious for me was an article I found online from The Washington Post. This was one of the sources that disputes the whole concept of defining generations. In it the reporter writes the one of his sources was a representative from the U.S. Census Bureau. They say they don't even define generations. The only exception has been The Baby Boomers, and I don't know why considering they don't define anyone else.
I continued reading different things, and another source from Columbia University attributes the generational concept to the media. I guess that means that in the media somebody says something, somebody else takes it literally, and the next thing you know it's fact. This is why I don't like the term generation. Nothing is set in stone. In fact, there appears to be some overlapping depending on who you're listening to. However, I think it all comes down to opinion.
In my experience of instruction and training the patience level and practical abilities of people in their 20's and even older is almost zero. They are used to Computer games, seeing and reading instant solutions using so called technology therefore all they can accept is tick a box practice.

Its all a spin. Therefore to group. Seemingly for financial decisions,to brainwash the deciders. that will work within minority lives.

today society is flick flick flick on da screen or mouse with finger. Many younguns have short attention span. Many want it now. Not many have longgativity or time as before take time people.
