Generation Y better known as Millennials is the generation that has given new aspects of social ideas. A lot of times we are criticized for being outspoken, but in reality we are more optimistic of the future of America. We enter adulthood with unrealistic expectations from older generations, but we still manage to change the way we see the world. We are the only generation so far that has grown with technology, which allows us to better express ourselves from anywhere in the world.

With social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. we are able to communicate our ideas and talk about important issues that affects everyone. We don’t keep quiet when it comes to injustice and we go out of our ways to raise awareness about almost anything. If we want to change the world, why are we criticized? What is so scary about being optimistic and trying to make the world a better place? Its true that sometimes not much is done, but is not because we don’t try enough, sometimes the situation gets out of our hands and it is something bigger than us.

Technology has made our lives easier and we are more open minded than our parents which allows us to make more logical decisions. We ask more questions because we want to be very informed about everything. Although we go into adulthood with uncertainty because we don’t want to be tied down with an office job. We want to be more satisfied with what we do for a living than the amount of money we earn; because at the end of the day money will not make us entirely happy. When we work doing something we love it makes it easier to gladly help others and we are not as stressed.

They say we are addicted to our mobile devices, but they don’t understand how much we learn every day. We like to have fun and do crazy things because we are young only once, but we are always willing to learn something new. It is easier for us to be skeptical about advertising because we know it’s all about selling and yet we become familiarized with operating systems and devices to make our lives better.

We are not lazy, we are innovative. We are changing the world our way just like previous generations and with all the technology available to us it becomes an easier task. Generation Y analyzes everything and is optimistic about the future because we are willing to make it better.
