POSTED IN: Blog Posts, Culture

The video below continues along the lines of this morning’s post. It talks about the social, economic, and educational changes this next generation faces.

Millennials are the largest generation in American history. Born between 1978 and 2000, they are 95 million strong (compared to 78 million Baby Boomers).

This new generation is what made this past election unlike any other in U.S. history. They are politically, socially, and philosophically independent, and are spearheading a period of sweeping change in America and around the world.

This video illustrates the stark differences between this new generation and their predecessors.

If you would like to read more on this topic be sure to sure to download the free eBook, Generation We: How Millennial Youth are Taking Over America And Changing Our World Forever by Eric Greenberg and Karl Weber. It’s well illustrated and a very easy read. Anyone with young children or working in youth or children’s ministry needs to read this to help them understand more about this powerful, socially engaged generation.
