Managing Gen Y

Generation Y is a unique and fascinating generation. There are many reasons to why this generation is the way they are. One major, yet underlining factor that personally being a Gen Y I tend to overlook, is the world events that have taken place during a Gen Y’s life and how this shapes them. To remind everyone, including Gen Y, about these events here is a list of major world events and happenings that have shaped Gen Y:

-Internet
-Reality TV
-Columbine
-The Iraq War
-Starbucks
-September 11
-Hurricane Katrina
-Oklahoma City bombing
-Challenger explosion
