If you were born between approximately 1981 and 1996, then you are a member of Generation Y or Millennials. A distinctive feature of this generation is that they were born or grew up during a period of widespread use of information technology. In our country, by the way, these people are often called infantiles, since it is this age group that is in no hurry to get married, leave the parental home, and in general, tries to delay the process of growing up as much as possible. In principle, this is logical - after all, the previous generation was forced to grow up very early (especially those who lived/grew/were born during the war). Previously, people quickly went to work, quickly started families and gave birth to children, but in most cases, such an unconscious approach (because it was necessary and because everyone did it) did not lead to the happiness of an individual. People lived in marriages for years with an unloved partner, went to jobs they hated, pretended that they liked going to church on Sundays and being friends with their neighbors. Of course, the children of these people saw all this and the suspicion crept into them that this was not normal. The development of millennials was greatly influenced by the fact that they were mostly left to their own devices, as their parents were forced to work a lot. In an atmosphere of freedom, it was easier to listen to oneself and one’s desires. Let’s consider a number of distinctive characteristics of generation Y: They are not in a hurry to get a job/marriage/children, they want to live longer “for themselves” (often at the expense of their parents); They “move” freely within all information technology, this is their element. They were among the first to communicate using the Internet, mobile phones, and mastered the computer for everyday use. From the previous point, a logical conclusion emerges: millennials are well versed in huge flows of information, know how to find the necessary information and systematize it. They prefer the path to the goal instead of the goal itself . For the first time, it was in this generation that the idea was widely spread that it is not necessary to achieve what you want with blood and sweat, you can still enjoy the process. They take small steps, but regularly, and do not wait for a sudden and quick breakthrough. They put themselves and spiritual values ​​first and also value freedom. These people are probably the pioneers in terms of personal boundaries. More precisely, it was at this time that they began to talk about it openly. They are tolerant and tolerant of everyone who “strays” from the usual picture of the world. They understand and accept representatives of other nationalities, races, religions, they are calm about representatives of sexual minorities, people with disabilities, as well as those who have an appearance that differs from the “generally accepted” one. They are calm about the idea of ​​long-term rental housing, they try not to take loans. They do not consider government officials above the people, they advocate freedom of speech and choice. They are optimistic about life. Sociologists’ opinions about millennials are divided: some consider them irresponsible consumers, while others, on the contrary, refute the opinion of their selfishness and infantilism.
