GEN-Y Core Attitudes
• “I define truth according to my ‘circle of meaning.’”• “Loyalty to friends is my paramount value.”• “Caring by my superiors is something I expect them as good
leaders to do.”• “Institutions are suspect; I can exist ‘below the line.’”
• “Sociality is directly proportional to interconnectedness,especially electronically.”• “God = Yes; church = No; faith = ritual + experience.”• “I am constantly searching for transparent, authentic mentors
from which to draw life lessons.”• “I can and will make a difference in this world.”• “Death is simply the end of human life; there may be nothing
beyond it and my life might be inconsequential if lost.”(Nihilism)
• “I need to change and grow?”

Branding, Identity, and Being
• “Branding also offers a consistent, coherent identity ,in which you are told about your true self; it offers membership in a community ; it issues an invitationto unconditional trust ; it offers the promise of conversion and new life . Thus, there is a way of life,an identity, that can be had by participating in thelogo-centric economy. These are, after all,worthwhile ends and even deep human needs.”
