E144: A Look Back to Move Forward. History can bridge the gap in our communications with GenZers and Millennials.
Manage episode 418686734 series 3442631
In todays show, Mark and Dave demonstrate why there is such a disconnect with the youth of today. If you've ever wondered why our youth, mostly Millennials and older Gen-Zers, are so quick to join the "Protest Anything Movement," you might want to listen to this show.
Spoiler Alert! It's because they only have 20 to 30 years of HISTORY to reference. And that history goes back …way back... to maybe 1990!!!!!
But before we get there, will take a quick stroll down Memory Lane...110 years ago...to establish the Boomer baseline of Historical Recall. A terabyte of data that our youth simply didn't receive when we sent them off to school OR what they were told doesn't align with the truth.
But in their defense consider the following:
Millennials Historical Recall Timeline
(Events they would have experienced)
2001: 911
2002: Dot com crashed
2003: Iraq War
2007: iPhone (camera&music)
2008: sub prime market crash
2009: First black president
2012: FB goes public ($38/share)
2019: Covid Pandemic
2020: Promos cancelled; grandma died; no businesses were open / hiring
GenZers Historical Recall Timeline
(Events they would have experienced)
2019: Covid
2020: no promos / graduations
2021: summer of Love / George Floyd
2022: Antifa & BLM protests
2023: Transylvania Confusion
2024: pro Hamas / anti Israel protests / graduation protests
No wonder they are so upset. They were ripped off...and it's up to us as Citizen Parents, Citizen Teachers and Citizen Warriors to clean up the mess our education system created.
