Talking About My Generation

“Generation Dope.”
I got this idea from the New York Times Friday July 31, 2009 issue. The title of the article is, “Stars of Red Sox Title Years Are Linked to Doping.” In this day and age, a lot of athletes are being accused of doing dope and it comes up a lot with sports.

“Generation Economic Crisis, Not Many Show It.”
I got this idea from the New York Times Friday July 31, 2009 issue. The title of the article, which I got my idea from, was “The Pizza Now Costs $5 a Slice. May Say It’s Worth Every Cent.” The economy today is not doing so well, and for people to be paying five dollars for a slice of pizza is a lot. They need to be budgeting their money better.

“Generation Diversity.”

I got this idea from the New York Times Sunday March 15, 2009 issue. The article’s title was, “Where Education and Assimilation Collide.” In America today, we are becoming more and more diverse. To me, this article stated how America is becoming more inter-racial.

“Generation Unemployment.”

I got this idea from the Wall Street Journal’s Saturday/Sunday January 30-31 2010 edition. The title of the article was, “Growth Hits 6-Year High.” I got this idea because I was thinking and the economy is in such a bad state that it is a good thing that the growth rate has hit its high prior to 6 years ago.

“Generation I’ve Been Found.”
I got this idea from the New York Times Friday January 15, 2010 issue. The title of the article, which I got this idea from was, “Can ‘Idol” Still Churn Out Stars? Time Will Tell.” American Idol has been on for numerous seasons and they keep finding singing sensations. Every year, they host a new season and they keep on finding hidden stars. I got this idea because the stars, which have been found, lives have drastically changed because of this show.
