QUESTION-THE YOUNGER GENERATION?

QUESTION: What's wrong with the younger generation?

ANSWER: Probably nothing that has not been wrong with every generation that has gone before them, but I have to admit that as I get older, and as they get younger, I am finding it harder and harder to understand just who each of our younger generations really are, and where they are going, and why, which is why I was so delighted to receive a recent email that contained some very interesting observations about the younger generation that entered college in 2007, which I have found to be so thought provoking, and so informative, that I want to share them here.
