Millennials in Adulthood  Detached from Institutions, Networked with Friends

" The Millennial generation is forging a distinctive path into adulthood. Now ranging in age from 18 to 33 ,they are relatively unattached to organized politics and religion, linked by social media, burdened by debt, distrustful of people, in no rush to marry and optimistic about the future...."

They are also Americas most racially diverse generation. In all of these dimensions, they are different from todays older generations. And in many, they are also different from older adults back when they were the age Millennials are now.

Graphic shows that among Millennials, Gen Xers, Boomers, and Silents, Millennials are more politically independent and more religiously unaffiliated.

Pew Research Center surveys show that half of Millennials (50%) now describe themselves as political independents and about three-in-ten (29%) say they are not affiliated with any religion. These are at or near the highest levels of political and religious disaffiliation recorded for any generation in the quarter-century that the Pew Research Center has been polling on these topics.

The effects of this detachment, say 30--40 years from now, from institutional socio/political-economics, societal ethics, and organized social order - I would guess to mean there will be no basis for government policies. Rule of Law will be thrown out (because laws are codes of conduct that a society values to prevent harm - to protect individual citizens--also the goal of Christianity=to protect the individual in the realm of Secularism.

Secularism, as I see it - was never meant to divide people - it was meant to allow different ways of life, while all would still be united for the goal of peaceful and humane respect for all, as well as achieving a love for our country, valuing National Security (to protect those freedoms of differences) - regardless of sect or denomination. If there is no longer that political or moral unity - then 'the people' will be weak, leaving plenty of room for Dictatorship - The Rule of Men, instead of Law (that protects the individual), to dominate.

That's my opinion.

What are your thoughts?

Hahaha!! Funny caption.

I don't know, there's something about the little wings on the sides and the lipstick that add so much ... irony--looking like the devil while giving the warding off evil hand sign. Grin.gif

Thank you, sir -- for stopping by!
