The values and morals of my generation, gen-next is very different from that of our parents and grandparents. The values and moral system of our parents were conservative, even that of their parents. As for generation next we are liberals. Issue like religion, ethic identification, sexual mores, and education have done a complete 360 degrees. Generation next love change and love the fact that we have control over our lives and doesn’t have to live out someone else’s life. We speak out more and are not afraid to confront something we don’t like.
This would be unacceptable to my parent and grandparents generation. They did as told and what was expected of them. They live their lives by strict rules and guidelines that would make everyone alike. The thought of going against what their parents believed was not and question. Everything from religion, sexual moral, family values, and fitting into society had to be done in an orderly fashion and the right way.
For my generation I don’t think we know the right ways of doing things anymore. Religion has become an option, we do have more tolerance for being diverse and accepting everyone for their differences. Our sexual morals are like hobbies and not seen as something you should love and cherish. And education is taken for granted. Most of us don’t have family goals and is willing to do anything to gain a little success. To me it a shame that our generation has lost its way but it’s exciting because of all the different opinions and values.

Case study: last week we did our definition essay. I found this kind of writing was very easy for me. The prewriting that our class did was very difficult to keep up with. I think that all this blogger and wiki pages is a little unnecessary and very time consuming. I don’t think it is helping out my writing at all but keeping me frustrated because I can not keep up. I sometimes feel like giving up but I’m not a quitter and hope can pull through. My writing is getting very confused and its getting hard to do simple things like thinking of a topic and writing a few sentences down about it.
Now when it comes to just writing a paper I can do with no problem. The definition essay was fun to do it was the prewriting that I didn’t like. My word was diversity and just the little research I did on the word was invigorating. I learn so many different ways people used the term, some I liked and some I didn’t care for. For me just by doing the research on the term diversity was enough and I already knew how I was going to do my essay. The prewriting stages we could have left out or found a condense way of doing things. It was all too much for me and didn’t help when it came to doing the essay. Maybe for others in class they love sitting in front of their computers copying and pasting things onto web pages. And it helped for them, but I can only speak of my experience of the prewriting and writing of our definitions essays.
