My generation of Americans was the first to really care about racism and sexism, not to mention the I Ching, plus, of course, the Earth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm first generation in the country - my family's Mexican.
I, like many members of my generation, was concerned with segregation and the repeated violation of civil rights.
The millennial generation in the US is the first that has reduced expectations from those of their parents. And I think there is something decadent and declinist about that.
I think my parents were immigrants, you know, so I guess I would be first generation. Growing up in California.
Each generation has a backlash against the generation before.
I know my generation - a lot of them, they're getting old now, and they want to think back fondly, they want to kid themselves. A lot of them think, 'Yeah, we were the best.' That's the kiss of death. That's non-growth. And also that's very bad for the world.
I am concerned with only one thing, the moral and social conditions of my generation.
As kids, we had no clue about the racial stuff that seemed to preoccupy adults. We just enjoyed our life as kids.
My generation had to be taken seriously because we were stopping things and burning things. We were able to initiate change, because we had such vast numbers. We were part of the baby boom, and when we moved, everything moved with us.
I think we're the first generation to successfully integrate American society.
