journal Thomas Friedman Generation Q This article by Thomas Friedman covers how our generation, Generation Q, is the quiet generation that holds ideals and hopes that can remove the world if only we werent so quiet. Friedman explains that our generation has a various range of idealism solely we be not brave enough to come forth and express our points. In his opinion we are not as outraged as we should be. Friedmans claim is not something new he is much elaborate by specifying the problem, which is on politics.Friedman explains that we need to get offline and get active within the community to rightfully make any politicians listen to what we need as the next coming generation. He witnesss our generation has father too quiet because of what technology has brought. He criticizes our generation by saying we waste time on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace. I agree that various social networking sites arent going to aid us solve problems such as global warming. However, I strongly believe that technology has many an(prenominal) positives that Friedman fails to recognize. He talks a lot about what his generation used to do, however he does not take into consideration that there are many factors that have differentiated Generation Q from his generation. I feel it is also worth noting that our generation is raised with much emphasis given to higher education. This is mainly wherefore most students are concerned with their collegiate bubble After reading this article I would fancy a few questions to Friedman.Firstly, why should Generation Q be help responsible to clean the mess front generations left behind? Secondly, how do you expect college students to sort out political issues when we already have our detention full with college? Lastly, have you considered the empowering nature of technology in the world today? For example, it can do wonders to paste awareness. Friedman put a lot of expectation for Generation Q to be as identical as his generation. He must realize that each generation has their own way to be politically active.
