The world is constantly changing and so are the people in it. With each generation c see important developments that affect the way we think and live our lives. Therefore, it is not surprising that each generation of people is different from the one before, and my generation is no exception. My peers and I differ from our parents in several important ways, including our view of the world and our expectations of the future.

People my age usually have a more global outlook than their parents. Unlike the previous generation, w have been exposed to a wide variety of information about the world from a very young age. We have benefited from technological advances such as satellite communications and the Internet. These have truly made the ‘world a global village and w have been greatly influenced as a result. We are not only concerned about our traditional way of life, but also about how life is lived around the world.

Our expectations of the future are also different. This is due mainly to the greater prosperity and peace that e have know. Few of us have suffered true economic hardship and most take a good education and high standard of living for granted. Although e are willing to work hard to succeed, e also value our leisure time. ve are more likely to spend money on recreational activities than start saving for our old age in our youth. Our prosperity has made us more materialistic than our parents, but also more carefree.

Given our different circumstances, it is not surprising that w are so different from the previous generation. Our parents may shake their heads and worry over these changes, but no doubt their parents did the same. Rather than worry about what the next generation is coming to, I believe it is smarter to look for and appreciate the advantages in these developments.
