1. Do you feel identified with your generation whatever yours is? (which one is yours?)
I feel completely fine in Generation Y, but I do not identify with many of my peers. Many of us have been "babied," I guess you could call it. Most of us seek gratification and reward without doing any work. Most people seem to beg for praise without deserving it. I don't know if that's just my generation, or if people have always done that. Everybody is more worried about doing something that gets them noticed rather than doing the things that are right.
2. Do you think your generation has, is on the way to or had had a clear objective of what to do?
It seems that one person comes along every once in a while, attempting to give us direction (like Barack Obama). We don't really work together to achieve one objective; we are all separated and busy doing our own things. Hopefully, all of these major world-changing events will wake us up to the things that we'll have to confront when it is our turn to run the world. Maybe we don't have a clear objective now, but we will soon.
3. Do you agree with that objective?
I just think everybody should do what they have to do to survive and succeed.
4. Do you take part actively on it?
I'll be surviving soon enough.
5. What do you think that you have in common with your generation?
I guess I'm just more able with technology. However, I've noticed more and more that there are many people my age who know nothing about computers, which is totally surprising to me! I have the constant need (or want) to be communicating in any way I can with people outside of the those whom I see each day. I DEFINITELY have nothing to do with the unthinking part of this generation due to us having limitless information at our fingertips 24/7.
6. what would you highlight as the most interesting thing of your generation? (common historical event, artistical innovations...). So why would yours will be remembered for.
9/11, definitely. For a lot of us, it was the first devastating event that we can remember. Some American children, including myself, didn't know how much of an effect it would have on us until we were older and our country was split in two. We took sides, but we didn't understand them. I was a die hard patriot, just because my father expected it. Many of us found our voices after being forced to take sides. Also, a lot of us ride the fence now that we've seen the positive and negative influences that war can have on the world.
Woo, rambling.
7. what do you think that had influenced more to your generation about the previous one?
The boldness of humanity. Attacks on our homeland, which many people were definitely not used to. And then more threats. It was a shock to find that so many people were determined to destroy others, no matter what country it happened to be. It's still happening. People are still standing up for what they believe in all over the place. However, sometimes they believe in the wrong things.
8. what do you think that yours will influence on the next generation?
We'll probably have a pretty cynical outlook on everything by the time this is over. That will probably carry over to the next generation, unless they decide to turn it around and change everything. Massive change might bring about some sort of dystopian society, though. I'm looking too far ahead, really. I don't know what the future will bring.
9. who would you say that was, is or will be the leader of your generation?
Artists. We place so much value on these musicians, painters, and other creative people. I could say Obama, but truthfully, I'm hoping against it.
10. do you think that your generation has been, is or will be critic about events and their own behave, acts by themselves or they just will follow some flow?
We're already feeling pretty shitty about things that have happened, but most of that we couldn't control. I don't think we'll learn from history, because we certainly aren't reacting to things that are happening around us now in a way that would suggest we know anything about past events. We'll follow the same pattern we've been following for as long as people have existed.
