The Me Me Me Generation

  In the article, the Me Me Me Generation, the author shows us the differences between young generation and the generation that is already 65 or older. In old people's mind, young generation is always lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow. Also, the incidence of narcissistic personality disorder is higher that the old generation. According to the article, " even in China, where family history is mire important than any individual, the Internet, urbanization and the one-child policy have created a generation as overconfident and self-involved as the Western one." I kind of agree with what the author says. Due to one child policy, most family only have one child, so the grow child grew up spoiled by parents. Also, parents will buy whatever their child wants. when children are in adolescence period, they already compare with others such as wearing name brand clothes and shoes. That's the big difference between young generation and old generation.
