In his essay, “The New Greatest Generation: Why Millennials Will Save Us All,” American journalist Joel Stein suggests that the same conditions that have caused millennials to be narcissistic and have a sense of entitlement growing up can also empower millennials to be more innovative and create new opportunities.
The end of this case is very interesting. A secret meeting, and a board decision that was against who I actually thought they would end up getting rid of. Getting rid of Tim doesn't really solve the problem, as a matter of fact I think it weakens the company. Malcolm's strong point is not running the everyday company, and that what Tim was fairly good at. Malcolm creating this new operating plan is going to be a strain on him, and possibly will not solve any of the problems currently facing the company, and more then likely he'll find himself out of a job, much like his friend Tim. But his greatest mistake probably is not bailing with Tim. Sometimes things simply do not work out, and it's time to move on to greener pastures. In this case, Malcolm worked well with Tim, because there was a level of trust, there was a level of dedication. Without Tim, I don't think Malcolm can drive the company out of it's current bad stretch. The operating plan is going to have to be a massive swing in direction, with many changes to the current structure of operating divisions, current sales departments, and integration of all acquisitions over time. Of course developing such a document is no easy task; lets see if I can piece together something, as well as point out some misstep's that the company made.
The article by J. Osorio entitled Gazing Back: Communing with our Ancestors, began with a tribute to David Hanlon who was an inspirational and important teacher and figure in Osorio's life. For me, reading this article was so moving, inspiring and a microcosm of an entire semesters' accumulation of knowledge and insight into a culture which I have lived along side my entire life but never fully understood. I do not know if comparing my appreciation for professor Osorio to his of David Hanlon is a worthy praise because Hanlon has affected Osorio's entire life, but I do know that I have never believed in the spirit of contemplation of a culture so much until now and sitting through six weeks of Hawaiian Studies class.
When Crenshaw coined the term “intersectionality” in 1989, she wanted to approach it towards “what it does or can do, not simply its definitional status as a noun” (May, 19). One example of intersectional analysis can be found in the book, Unspeakable: The Story of Junius Wilson by Hannah Joyner and Susan Burch. Joyner and Burch’s story about Junius Wilson serves as an example of showing intersectional analysis because they decided to take an analytical approach by uncovering the untold history of institutionalization of African Americans with disabilities in the Jim Crow South. Rather than focusing on the histories of institutionalization as a single issue, they address how race, gender, class, and disability all had a significant impact in
In David Foster Wallace's Kenyon Commencement Speech, he speaks towards the graduating class of 2005 about the benefits in having liberal arts major, but that is not the only topic he talks about. David Foster Wallace also points out reasons as to why routine is extremely difficult, dreary, tiring, boring, time consuming, and frustrating. In Mike Rose's, "Blue-Collar Brilliance," he is conversing to the audience the true definition of intelligence and how to gain it. Mike Rose is fond of the idea of routine and believes that routine has a lot to offer to individuals. Mike Rose is able to extend this idea by relating it to his mother, Rose Meraglio Rose, and his uncle, Joe Meraglio. Even though David Foster Wallace and Mike Rose take two different

How did the writers of the Lost Generation reflect their views on post-WW1 disillusionment, gender roles, and morals in society through their written works?
When most people hear the label Generation –X they think of a hopeless generation of youth that have given into the pressures of the world. I would like you to think of the X as the Greek symbol for “Chi” which is used as a symbol for Christ. In this decade the youth involved in the Christianity has grown significantly. Youth are responding to the church in ways that the past generation did not. Where mom and dad embraced the tumultuous sixties their children have taken hold of Christianity. The youth organizations that promote the Protestant doctrine have seen the youth membership grow by 50% since 1990. Catholic Churches have witnessed their youth involvement double in the last decade. The youth are coming from all walks of life, backgrounds and income levels. Although the majority seems to be whites, the number of young blacks involved in Christianity has become notable.
In her TED talk, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie talks about the role of perception in her life and how it has affected her. Many times we have been through experiences that surprise us in regard to perception, such as the first time we meet someone from another culture. We have been inundated with stereotypes and preconceived notions since we were children, through stories, media, parents, teachers, and friends. Furthermore, these presuppositions that we carry are rarely, if ever, based on anything substantial, yet they show up in every part of our life. Adichie calls this notion of this one sided preconceived bias the “single story.” This “single story” is interesting due to the fact that even if we can overcome it, we are still affected by it. Adichie speaks about how even though she had become enlightened to this dilemma, she is still subject to it. As for her experience, she says this,
In life there are many people, things, or places that we experience that have influenced our lives so unique and powerful there unlike any other. Some women experience such alteration with the birth of a new baby. While for another person this life alteration may be making partner at a law firm. Though everyone experiences life on a different level one thing is for certain, not everything in life is a good experience. Everything in life is balanced, and with every joy comes some form of heartache. For some people it takes an emotional toll so incoherent that it never fades. After World War I many men experienced the let down affiliated with the war, and discovered there fight for admiration and loyalty led to nothing more than a expulsion of lost values, thus leading to the “lost generation.”
