what is the moral differences between generation X, and generation Y?

Question

I'm talking about in general. We know everyone is different.

Answer 1

Well generation Y seems to have more latch key children that were raised by television. They have also had everything handed to them so they don't know what it is like to do anything on there own.

Answer 2

I hope this cut from my assignment on Gen Yers as customers will help you: A “Generation Y”, “millennium” or “echo boomer” customer is identified by the year she/he was born in. They are those who were born in between 1978 and 1994. (Dunne & Lusch 2005). Its previous generation, called the “Generation X” or “Baby busters” were born in between 1965 and 1977; and are now a declining population (Dunne & Lusch 2005). “Gen Yers” arising to a vast purchasing and consumption power in the economy (Dunne & Lusch 2005). Retailers are aware that “Generation Y” customers have lots of money to spend (Keating 2000). It is not unusual that kids get US$ 50 a week as pocket money (Keating 2000). This is not surprising however, as the economical situation has never been as good as it is for “Gen Yers” (Keating 2000). They distinguish themselves from previous generations by racial diversity, three out of four “Generation Y“ mothers are working and one out of four is a single-parent (Dunne & Lusch 2005). In addition to that, they tend to life alone before marriage, aiming for good jobs and health; but also prioritize family and home (Dunne & Lusch 2005). It is furthermore interesting that a large number of “Gen Yers” do not know how to wound a watch or use a type writer (Dunne & Lusch 2005). However they are technology and computer literate like no other generation ever (Keating 2000). It is the first generation that fully grew up with computers and therefore it is not surprising that a ten year old easily handles and programs a hand held computer while a grown up business man may struggles with it (Keating 2000).

Answer 3

Morally, I think that venereal disease and homosexuality are the two things those two groups might view differently.

Generation X was quite astounded by the advent of AIDS, whereas Generation Y doesn't really think about it so much. Herpes, HPV, same thing... they just don't let it bother them... do their thing anyway.

Homosexuality is very much accepted by Generation Y, even to the point where they resent people who are against it, even if they aren't. Generation X does not embrace that kind of equality in feeling towards people who are gay.

Just the way it seems from my Baby Boomer point of view.

Answer 4

Generation X thought about the future and still does, Generation Y, not so much.

Answer 5

Gen X were the first generation of women to have a taste of sexual equality, in school and the workplace as well as sexually. But attitudes changed slowly, although they theoretcially had sexual freedom, they were stil considered sluts etc if they advertised their sexual promiscuity.
Gen Y has crossed that barrier and girl are just as sexually open and free as their male counterparts (the double standard still applies in some circumstances)
But its just as common now to hear a man called a slut as a women

Answer 6

Gen X was about things. Equality in the work place.

Gen Y is more about people than things. The things that matter is how they base their decisions especially since the war and 9/11. Staying at home and raising your kids, influence, etc.

...or maybe its the other way around...JK!

Answer 7

Generation X is the children of the baby boomers. Generation Y sucks.
