Positive traitsOn the other hand, positive traits possessed by Generation Me include being more open (pluralistic, tolerant, diverse), self-confident (unless it leads to narcissism), ambitious (with frequent course/job/career hoppers) and collaborative (in general). They like to serve their community by trying to find meaning in their work (what Simon Sinek similarly observed in today’s job-hopping millennials).
However, sensitive issues this generation has to deal with that others before them have not are how to cope with more rampant bullying (be it online, physical or verbal), the ease of porn availability in websites, magazines and books, how reading has taken a back seat, while gaming and social networking is allocated more time.
In September, the Atlantic posted an article (“Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?â€) that discussed how post-millennials had become affected by mental health issues because of this artificial “living†setup. Higher screen time meant higher cases of depression and unhappiness. The figures are all from the United States, but I can see how the results can be similar locally. —CONTRIBUTED
