GENERATION Y:<br />
In the midst of a youthquake<br />
WRITTEN BY SKYE ASHLEY<br />
We are living in the new digital age, of a fast growing, technology revolution. What was once seen as a fantasy can now<br />
be a reality. Where is this trend taking our future? Looking back at the 60’s Youth Quake, there was a lot of political<br />
change occurring that set off a chain reaction for the people, and the entire culture to change, from the way they<br />
dressed to they way they thought. It brought a new perspective. <strong>The</strong> Civil Rights Act brought an end to segregation<br />
and a fight against the progressives. While this occurred, the youth responded by embracing new fashion and new<br />
sounds music, which continues to shape fashion today. We are now in the midst of youth quake due to the significant<br />
changes we’ve experienced again in our politics, as well as our increased knowledge. Since there is an established gay<br />
identity in our society, most people have come to respect and accept them, which has led our government to legalize<br />
gay marriage, and taxes. <strong>The</strong> legalization of marijuana and its health benefits has also contributed to the culture<br />
change, as well as our found knowledge of the environment and how we must become more sustainable. Due to this<br />
generations acceptance and optimism many aspects of our lives have improved and advanced, including technology.<br />
