Each generation rebels against an elder-built worldand against the generation before it. Is that whyMillennials behave almost opposite of Generation X?
Each generation redirects society according to its owninclinations. Each generation:
1. solves a problem facing the prior youth generation( think Millennials and Generation X )
2. corrects for the behavioral excess it perceives in the current midlife generations( think Millennials and Boomers )
3. fills the social role being vacated by the departing elder generation( think Millennials and G.I. Generation )
Boomers grew up when institutions felt too strong and individuals too weak.
Millennials are growing up when institutions feel too weakand individuals too strong.
Boomers were born when rationalism ruled and spiritualism lay dormant.
Millennials are kids when spiritualism rules and rationalism lies dormant.
In the Millennial evolution,the Millennial solution will be to:
set high standards get organized team updo civic deeds

As Tom Brokow called the G.I. generation “America’sGreatest,” the authors predict Millennials are readyto be the next great generation.
But, none of us can predict ifMillennials will match thehype for potential.
What we do know is that Millennials are team-oriented, more pragmatic, and even more conservative than Boomers and Gen-Xers. They arecloser to their parents thanprevious generations andlike to reach the high standards set for them.
One of the greatest mistakes we can make is to viewand engage Millennials through the lens of our ownBoomer and Gen-X teen values and experiences.
Millennials are your audience.Are you talking with themaccordingly?
