Winograd and Hais believe that Millennials "are more positive than older generations," something that I believe is important in understanding my generation. America is an extremely independent nation, and having a generation that puts the needs of others before the needs of the self is currently what our country needs. While the impact our unique generation will have on the election is yet to be seen, I do agree with Winograd and Hais that the Millennial generation supports an "activist approach by government to societal and economic issues."
While I wish I could come up with some clever generational name other then Millennials, it proves quite difficult after having the name Millennials in front of me. I would hope to find a word that encompasses the ideas of: empathy; technologically savvy; politically aware; and socially inclined. Some cultural touchstones that I believe are useful in understanding my generation would be the show Friends, or any one of the many reality TV shows.
The arguments made by Winograd and Hais are very interesting and fundamental correct in regards to my generation. It would be interesting to see the mark that my generation will on our nation. Until then, I fully agree that the Millennial generation will have a very big impact in this, as well as future, elections.
