By realizing that the main audience of this article would be adults, especially those who have children, she intelligently plays into this through her consistent reference to the past and how great it was to be a child in the 1970s and 80s, even with the high crime rates. She then continues on by praising the invention of the ever so popular app, referring to the “Good old Days” and how the addition of Pokémon Go has kids out exploring like older generations used to do when they were young (Davies, 2016, para 3). She compares the app to activities that older generations used to do such as hunting for salamanders at the park. By creating this linkage between the two generations she is effectively creating this emotional tie to the app; thus able to grab the reader’s attention as she presents her argument through the rest of the
What Bauerlein fails to talk about is the fact that every generation has a negative input or opinion on the next generation. He also fails to talk about the curriculum before the 90s is not the same as it is now. Bauerlein is wrong when he implies that he is not here to insult the youth, but to give light on the current intellectual situations. Bauerlein says that the Millennials “may even be recalled as the generation that lost the great American heritage, forever.” This takes an almost I-am-better-than-you tone as he describes the, in his point of view, generation that will fail
The article “Why Don’t Teens Read For Pleasure Like They Use To?” by Jennifer Ludden, writes about teens not reading as much and why aren’t they reading. Ludden uses logos and people to show the drop-off reading among teens. The author utilize people and data to support the drop-off in reading amidst teens.
Somebody conceived 500 years prior likely never encountered a solitary society-moving innovation. Today, a 40-year-old has now survived the formation of the PC, the internet, the cell phone, and brain implants—and still has decades left to live. In any case, that all changes with the children of today. To them, anything that is not mechanized, advanced, or touch-empowered seems unnatural.
There is an ongoing debate to whether this new form of technology is positive or negative to the under thirty generation. In the book “The Dumbest Generation”, Mark Bauerlein claims the under thirty generation is the “dumbest” generation to be known. The under thirty generation is not the “dumbest” generation because they are able to process information in a different creative form, engage in technological games to sharpen their minds, and use advanced technology
A Rhetorical analysis of “Generation Velcro” In “Generation Velcro,” Dorothy Woodend discusses the lack of basic skills and knowledge that is being passed down from generation to generation, and how this could be a fundamental problem for both generation Y and the future of planet earth. Woodend, setting the tone for her article, asks the question, “[i]s this generation heading into a coming dark age with little more than the ability to update their Facebook statuses and watch YouTube, all with laces untied?” (par. 7). She contends that “[t]he inability to concentrate in a world of competing bits of information and constant multitasking have led to brains that can no longer keep up,” implying that this problem of concentration is inhibiting this newest generation’s ability to learn the skills necessary to sustain our world properly (par. 12).
I’m sure you’ve all heard a screaming kid at the store before, crying and pleading for some kind of toy. On occasion parents will stop the child’s fit by agreeing, but this is often viewed as a sign of bad parenting. Children these days can be extremely spoiled. It tends to be that if they ask for it, they get it. Children must learn that in the future they will have to work to buy what they desire.
This demonstrates the ability of the generation to adapt to different circumstances and utilize resources to the best of their ability. The use of technology has created individuals that can multitask, make rapid decisions and have developed a more mature generation. Through this experience Wilson embraces the advantages of technology and disregards Levey’s interpretation of the generation. Interacting with the generation allows her to experience the life of the iGeneration and changes her perspective from when she initially started teaching. In addition, Wilson explains an experiment utilizing a marshmallow.
Kids Are Narcissistic and Too Coddled In the summer of 2003, my family went on a trip to Disney. I dressed myself in a non-matching outfit and my mother told me to change before we went out. I threw a fit, accused her of calling me blind, and refused to talk to her the rest of the day. It was totally unnecessary and over-dramatic; especially, since my mom was only saving me from embarrassment.
Student’s name Professor’s Name Course Date Successful use of Rhetorical Strategies Introduction Ken Robinson delivers a TED talk on “schools kill creativity” filmed in February 2006. The talk aims to challenge the education system and the fact that it has little emphasis on the creativity of individuals.

This generation is growing up around new technology and parents who do not have the experience or the skills necessary to deal with those pressures. Raising a child in a new era of discovery is hard and the millennials are being taught without technology; by adding it to the equation without proper training it is going to lead to the misuse of technology. Instead to trying to combat technology entirely, it is rational to incorporate into parenting, so that a millennial can grow up with technology as an option, not an
As the World progresses, technology has always been a part of it, if not ahead. I for one, have grown up in a time where the use of technology has been intertwined in the society. Since technological advancements began a while ago, the newer generation of children has access to it with ease than those who came before them. This then does arise some concerns about the effect of technology on younger generations. Just like with other controversial topics, there are some negative sides to technology as well as positive sides.
I'm not saying let them do nothing but play videogames all day, but research and find ways to maybe one day make a living in some sort of technology field with the way technology is taking the world by storm. Not every kid will excel in sports or physical activities but the brain in a very powerful thing and technology is an amazing way to fuel your brain if used correctly. Also, it doesnt take much to be good with technology, in my opinion its easier, especially as a child because their brains are like sponges and can absorb so much. People say now-a-days children are growing up so fast like its a bad thing. In some cases it may be but it can also be great due to the fact that there are children that excel far beyond adults in certain fields due to technology and being able to access so much imformation about almost anything with a few clicks of a button.
