I have been fascinated by the term millennials since we were taught it in Comm 101. It evokes a great sense of belonging for me, it helps me remember that the world is larger than just mid-terms and classes, which I often forget as a first year. Essentially, what I took away from class is that there is a lot of power and influence amongst such a big group of individuals.

Recently the world has been shaken up with Donald Trump becoming the USA president. I found an article that highlights how there would have been a very different outcome in the election- with Hilary Clinton elected as opposed to Trump. Trying to avoid turning this into a political blog, this illustrates that millennials are very different from older generations, which engrosses me because I find that it shows evolution in human beings. This evolution comes hand in hand with greater business ethics and innovation, as millennials are very socially aware and have powerful minds.

Another blog post by one of my peers concentrates on exactly what I have just mentioned about the correlation of greater business ethics with the rise of millennials. Commenting on Jia Yu’s post, there is a strong representation of millennials and how they are shaping the modern business world. What I found most relatable about Jia Yu’s post with relation to mine is that i am answering the rhetorical question presented, by saying yes, the rise of millennials is resulting in not only more corporate social responsibility and business ethics, but in a more ethical life standard and norm.

In my opinion, with all the innovation and forward movement from millennials, the world will be a better place in the long run. Millennials are helping right wrongs from the past and limit prejudice through being more socially aware.
