Bio
"TALKING ABOUT MY GENERATION" is an event that is great anytime, but perfect for Parent's Weekend and Homecoming! (Or if your campus has a high percentage of returning students/parents.)
This interactive multimedia presentation addresses the generational differences between the students and their parents and their parent’s parents, from
Baby Boomers to Gen-X to Gen-Y.
This event is as humorous as it is educational!
Topics explored include: music, fashion, fads, slang, sex symbols, technology, and taboos.
If you think your parent’s generation doesn’t understand you, well, you are absolutely correct.
We don’t understand how you can type faster with your thumbs than we can with all ten fingers.
We don’t understand why you would want to text the person sitting next to you.
We don’t understand the pressures you face that we didn’t, such as what it feels like to learn that the house you thought you were going to inherit might be foreclosed…
Or the job you thought you were going to get might be shipped overseas…
Or that because our pensions and retirement accounts are disappearing, you might have to take care of us when we get too old to work.
We don’t understand you, but to be honest, we really don’t understand us either.
We have more toys, yet less happiness.
We make more, yet save less.
We spend more each year on dieting than France, England, and Germany spend on food, yet two-thirds of us are overweight or obese.
We preach “just say no to drugs,” yet gobble antidepressants like candy.
We have more time-saving devices, yet less time.
We are the first generation to ever shout at a microwave oven to hurry up, because instant gratification takes too long for us.
We spend money we haven’t earned to buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t really like.
"Talking About My Generation" builds closer relationships through UNDERSTANDING...
Understanding how we got here and how to get to where we want to be.
Parents will leave understanding the modern pressures their children face.
Students will leave understanding their parents (and Faculty Members) were way more cool than they ever imagined.
Part lecture, part comedy, part game show, & all fun!
Finally the dilemma on who to book for
Parent’s Weekend is solved!
