Millennial Characteristics True or False

On a separate sheet of paper, mark true or false to each statement with justification. Young people think and behave the same at all time. Each generation is just like the one before it and the one that follows. Millennials are self-obsessed kids who feel entitled to everything. Millennials volunteer and serve because they are “forced” to or are trying to polish their college application resume. Millennials became Democrats and liberals because they are hero worshippers of Barack Obama. Millennials will become less open to change or new ideas as they age.

Millennials, like all young people, are uninterested in voting, and not willing to make an effort. Like Boomers and Gen-Xers before them, Millennials are distrusting of government, and overwhelmed by the problems facing them and America. Millennials care only about what happens in their own country, community, and lives and not on what goes on in the rest of the world. Millennials, like all generations, are rebels who are hostile to civic institutions and government. Millennials are more focused on unimportant news such as celebrities instead of the big issues facing America.
