The past “bad” generations did not have Facebook and twitter - I work with Millennials and they drive me crazy. They refuse to listen to people my age and instead goggle everything before they believe it. If their I-Phone told them to jump off a tall bridge they would be over the hand rail in a second. This is a different bunch from past generations.
What I noticed is that Millenials have abandoned civility because a) they feel oppressed by requests for mannerly conduct b) they feel weakened by considering other’s feelings and c) they demand anything goes in the commons because you can leave if you don’t like it - they’ll just log onto their phone apps and chat with “better” people all over the world.
Can’t have a conversation without a 25 year old woman unless full frontal profanity is in play - anything else is limiting and you’d be advised to remember there is no such thing as profanity or social considerations if they say there isn’t.
