You're obviously one of those rising to the challenge. I'm proud to see you and the other vloggers on Youtube urging others to take action and get involved. I will definitely do so, and I hope many of my generation will as well.
Shirt so distracting... Any thoughts on where the occupy movements are headed? Supposedly these occupy movements resemble past movements in their early stages. (I'm too young to have been there, so I'll believe historians.)
Couldn't agree more!! As GenY I'm just getting into all the digital stuff! Thanks to iPhone. You inspire me! So young yet so wise! I'm a teacher and your upbeat vid about how you're going to tackle being a teacher who is gay lit a fire in me! You're amazing!!!!
Well said Generation Y is paying for the 40 somethings my generation who made reckless decisions. I was your age around the time of Thatcher so I am guess I am a member of what they called the "Me Generation". This whole mess you guys are now in started back in the 80's
Listen to me. I am probably about twice your age. It is MUCH MUCH MUCH harder for young people right now. No comparison. At least here in the UK, everything is vastly more difficult, complex, daunting in 2011 than it was, say, in 1991, or 1981, or 1971. The contrasts are stark and I have all the more admiration for today's young people who rise to the challenge. (I have a good basis for comparison, as I've been a student 3 times in my life: 30 years ago, again in the mid-90s, and right now.)
@jarabaa im older than you are and live in silicon valley- corporations here can't get enough qualified people and starting pay is 80 to 150k - sorry these are not union jobs and you can be fired if management feels you are not right for the job and its not what the company can do for you - its what you can do for it- its much harder now because you are competing with people from all over the world-
I totally agree with you I live in UK ass well and now its even harder to find jobs and more complex than it was in the 60s all young people now and I don't mean in UK and other countries ass well are struggling for them to find work and be financially stable plus we live in a world through economic crisis I wonder how its going to be next year
I wish I had your enthusiasm, but I'm gen X and I'm burnt out. By all means, try to make something happen in the world, but eventually you realise that history repeats itself and a new generation is hoodwinked. It's not their fault; they're young and inexperienced. It's just the circle of life.
They used to say the EXACT same thing about Generation X. It's a bad habit of each generation to slam the previous generation for not being as good as they are. Socrates has some interesting quotes about how little faith he had in the young people of that time, fretting that all of society was on the verge of collapsing. Most of what he said (not showing proper respect for elders, not being serious enough, etc) could've been said by any older generation throughout time. Scapegoating pessimism.
Great video! I agree with you, if people want change, they are the ones who can achieve that. In my opinion however, the current Occupy protests are not the right way to change the (Wall street) "culture of greed", but it's certainly a clear sign that people command their leaders to take action and therefore useful.
@th3g00dstuff88 Your comment is ludicrous. There is absolutely no causality between "patriotism" and protesting a certain policy.
In the U.S. the vast majority of young people who can vote don't because they have the mindset that "my one vote doesn't count." That's terrible and WRONG. If young people all went to the polls, we'd have the same amount of legislative power and influence as seniors. People shouldn't have to resort to protesting, they just need to start giving a damn. Of course, the world is so ass-backwards now, maybe some intense protests are becoming necessary.
So articulate and coherent on what it is hurdling around us, is compacting to diversify beliefs and morals in standing attained with the gouging deterrents that are develop over the U.S. / Australia with the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement!!
I want your shirt!
