There has been no generation that has needed a revolution more than mine. We generation Y’ers are the most repressed generation that has been raised in the United States. After reading the various great philosophers, some with great ideas and some with hairball ones, I find the same clear message. This clear message I speak of is that my generation needs to have a revolution to save the future of our species and if we fail to do so the Earth will be doomed. Unfortunately, my generation will not make that move to save their lives, and I know why.

The first point I would like to make is that if we as a generation cannot organize, then we cannot have a revolution. When protests against the war in Iraq were held, I looked to those who spoke all day about “how horrible those republicans are” and “why can’t we all get along.” When it came time to take some action, however, in those same individuals I found a higher amount of excuses to get out of making a difference than the amount of statements that they had about what they believed in which means that they do not truly believe in those causes, but only say things for acceptance and to go with the flow.

It’s scary that I have not seen that commercial in half a decade, yet I saw it enough when my brain had so much plasticity (When I was young) that even though I hated the commercial, I still know where to find “the best deals on a used car.” It is this exact phenomenon that allows people to be molded. If you say something enough times, people may not agree with what you said, but they will remember it and it will stick to them no matter what.

So television is the main culprit preying on my generation and the next one and the ones following. I am able to write this paper because I grew up with a television, but I was never allowed to watch anything but Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune until I was 16 (I’m not bullshittin’ you). I am able to think critically about everything, and when it comes time to voice my opinion and stand up for what I think is morally just, I do just
