The Game of Blame
It is no secret that Millennials receive a lot of criticism for a range of societal issues. While it is true that every generation has its own set of problems, it is worth exploring where these problems stem from. As the old adage goes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. It seems that Millennials are constantly under attack, particularly from their own parents. However, it may be worth pointing out that if there are issues to be had, it is likely the fault of the previous generation. The blame game is often played, with Boomers laying blame at the feet of Millennials.
But the reality is that if there are issues to be solved, it is those who raised Millennials who bear the responsibility for addressing them. It is important to recognize that societal issues do not arise out of nowhere. Rather, they are the product of a complex web of historical, economic, and cultural factors. Rather than pointing fingers and assigning blame, it is crucial to take a step back and examine the root causes of these issues. Only then can we work towards finding solutions that will benefit everyone, regardless of their generation.
