We the "Millennial" generation are innovating the work place and are setting our priorities. Work should never have to come before our everyday lives. Family and friends should not have to take a back seat everyday of our lives because we need to work. We saw our parents struggle daily to make ends meat. Through their guidance and example, we strive to do bigger and better things with our lives. Is that not what all parents say that they want their kids to have?? A better life than the one they have lived?? That is what I am going to tell my children if or when I have them.
One thing that really bothered me about the video was the fact that they said that we didn't live through the tough times they did. Ok I am truly sorry that they went through their "terrible times" but that is not our fault. We go through bad times of our own. They may never measure up to the problems that they have had in the past, but they may just by pass them. Everyone is going to compete in thinking that they have had harsher times than everyone else, because it seems as though they have something to prove.
We are the Millennial Generation and we are going to do what we want when we want to on our terms and we are going to do it in a smart way. If someone has a problem then deal with it because we are not slowing down.

HOW RUDE!
i agree with what the girls were saying on the satellite. How could the most popular lyrics not influence the the people that listen to it? i don't think that anyone was attacking anyone. i believe that the people on oprah had no evidence to support their claims. this does affect my emotions/values/beliefs because its basically about me. it's my gender. i find it rude and unethical for a man to be calling me a hoe, slut, bitch, etc. i also think its racial for them to be calling each other niggahs. even though its something that has been happening since a long time ago i don't believe that it should continue, nor do i think that it should be ignored. this is a serious topic that needs to be discussed and needs to be ended or a solution has to be found. as for the girls that dont agree with the fact that profanity in hip hop influences the culture that mainly listens to it, i believe that maybe they like to be called out of their names and it doesnt bother them. but personally its insulting and it should end now. we are in a new millenium and we should begin to act like it and end all the disgusting behavior that has be performed since way before a lot of us were born.
