RULES OF FOUR CORNERS

Each side of the argument has to have someone in it (you cannot all agree or strongly agree) otherwise you will all sit and write a statement as to why you agree

You have to choose a corner (you cannot stand in between corners)

Everyone has to chime in at some point Be respectful—raise your hand, don’t just yell

Millenials are less educated than other generations

Millenials take education for granted

Millenials lack empathy and have trouble understanding other points of view

Past generations would have behaved in a similar, or worse, fashion had they had the access to technology that millenials do

The expectations and pressure put on millenials drives them to be narcissistic; it isn’t their fault, it is the prior generations fault.

Social media is a hiding spot for teens and has made them bad at face to face interaction.

Millenials are obsessed with social media

Millenials expect to be handed things (promotions, trophies..) instead of working for them.

You are not special…(your generation, that is)

Society is in danger because millenials are unpredictable and have a hard time growing up

The author is biased because he is 41, and doesn’t understand the millenials

Millenials only care about things related to them
