Generation Me.

After reading the two articles "Generation Me" and "The Why-Worry Generation", it put me into a new perspective when it comes to how I'm viewed when my elders see me. The articles discuss how we're narcissists, conceited and self-centered and although I tend to see multiple people close to my age act that way, I know that there are people of every age that act in that manner as well. I think all of us have the potential to be that way but it's just a matter of choosing not to. If anything, these articles make me feel a bit more self-conscious of how I'm perceived. In today's society, many of us feel that we must think highly of ourselves so others can and I think it just pressures people more and more to live up to it. Every generation had different standards but every generation also had the negative aspects, attitudes and perspectives.
