If there is an MBA for wife management, all Gen X males can teach with minimal effort. They have the nag of manipulating, maneuvering and concerting and absolute getaway with whatever they want to do. Be it a scotch party, work at home or extra-curricular activities. Gen X males have the art of sipping coffee in their couches and ordering wives from a range of things that would include an ashtray to an innovative kitchen dish. I think very few Gen X males would have actually involved themselves in diaper changing or teaching kids at home. Take a sample of All Gen Y and Z American born Indian girls; more than 80% of them would never like to marry Indian men, they have seen their fathers bossing around and not doing any work at home. Thanks to this wonderful bias created by Gen X.<br />On the contrary, we all know who wears pants in Gen Y's houses. Most of the Gen Y’s I have seen, believes in equality and they do a lot of work at home giving respect and equality to their spouses. A recent time magazine study * suggests that Gen Y’s are pushing companies for a better work life balance as they want to more involved at home.<br />I agree with Ramana that Gen X were great rebels at home and I admire them for that but the problem is, they have not let this rebel attitude go and now they want to rebel on their kids too. There is no equality in relationship and there always a crescent glow of know all attitude followed by condescending remarks. I think all Gen X should stop patronizing Gen Z and treat them equal. Please stop giving unlimited Gyan which you have accumulated through ages and stop behaving like sages.<br />The environment in which Gen Z are growing is different, thanks to information superhighway and huge technology transformations, Gen Z have enormous amount of information available to make a decision. All Gen Z have to steer through landmines of information to make a right choice in life and hence they don’t worry about the price tags on clothes, nor do they take months to decide that something is not working for them. In this current competitive environment, time is critical and Gen Z feels the need to be decisive.<br />Gen X has been kind enough to provide an environment of enormous corruption which Gen Y and Z is struggling to get rid of. Gen Y and Z’s doesn’t get caught in who made it wrong but they try to focus on how to make it right. Current Gen Y and Z’s don’t care who leads a moment as long as it is for right cause. The current support given by Gen Y and Z’s to Gen X leaders like Anna Hazare is commendable.<br />Above all from what I have seen, Gen Z has one great attribute of never giving up and they don’t get caught in a never ending loop of bitching about the past. No matter what, I think this spirit has led us to a comprehensive world cup victory in Cricket.<br />Open for Comments :) <br />Venu<br />Sources<br />* http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1640395,00.htmlVenuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152981825367512392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28719796.post-20381861864777193912011-09-15T08:51:25.674-07:002011-09-15T08:51:25.674-07:00Dear Ramana,

I have done everything you had mentioned, experienced everything you had experienced, felt everything you had felt and my opinions about past and future generations are almost the same. I am now convinced we belong to the same generation not only spatially and temporally but also mentally. Hats off, friend...<br /><br />Kali KrishnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
