Being a millennial

The purpose of this assignment will be for students to reflect on the theories covered in class this week related to adulthood and what this phase in the life span entails as they reflect on their own lived experience. Doing so will deepen their understanding of the theoretical material as well as continue building on their skills of applying theory. Instructions Broadly, students will be exploring what it means to be a “millennial” in America today. In order to answer this question students will have to demonstrate understanding of this generational label by integrating examples from popular culture, evidence from their text, and any additional materials that are useful in supporting your arguments.
