Millennials

As we have referenced the millennials, I thought you might find this article from the local Az paper of interest.

The 'millennials' A NEW POLITICAL GENERATION

Morley Winograd and Michael D. Hais
Feb. 10, 2008 12:00 AM

Winograd and Hais are co-authors of "Millennial Makeover: MySpace, YouTube, and the Future of American Politics,"

The authors write:

Reared by indulgent parents and driven by deeply held values as adults, members of idealist generations embroil the nation in heated debates on divisive social issues as they try to enact their own personal morality and causes through the political process.


A review of the book:

Winograd and Hais combine "generation theory" with their own long experience in politics, survey data, and detailed observations about the unique values and expectations that Millenials bring to

I wonder how compatible these millenial values are with the values of education that are inculcated in our institutions of teaching and learning.
