They are called the “teacup” generation because they were raised by helicopter parents who strived to protect them from criticism and disappointment. Due to the failure of understanding the hard work put into building a society, millennials expect to be rewarded for simply coming on time. Do millennials take society for granted because they are used to getting everything served on a silver platter? On the other hand, studies show their cautious upbringing has made them more sensitive than any other generation, and this can be considered a strength as it makes them truly concerned about the world.
The focus of this week’s debate is on millennials and their sense of entitlement.
These are the statements to be debated:
• Millennials break down easily because they were raised by helicopter parents.
• In the workplace, they do not understand hard work as they feel entitled and expect to be rewarded for simply coming on time.
• Millennials take society for granted as they do not know what it took to build it.
• Their overly cautious upbringing makes them more sensitive and truly concerned about the world and their place in it.
Participants will be required to clearly state whether they are ‘for’ or ‘against’ the statement and provide their supporting arguments for the same.
