Generation Article

Abstract:
This article was about how people from different generations are now being forced to work more and more together. They called it the “Power of Four” which is basically how this is the first time in American History where we have had four different generations working together. This raises issues because each generation comes from different lifestyles, communication, behaviors, etc. It is sometimes tough to collaborate with someone of a different generation because they have different views based on the generation they come from. We are constantly forced to accommodate for the different views sometimes producing issues in the workplace.

Reflection:
After reading this article I began to think of the workplace I will be in and the different people from different generations I will be working with. I've heard horror stories in the past of friends who have become teachers and how they have had difficult times working with old raggedy teachers who work with only traditional methods. I will obviously be faced with the same issues, and I am unsure of how I will react. If I can I think effectively communicate with these old generation teachers, then hopefully some of the problems will not be prevalent.
