The Characteristics Of Generation Y

Gen Y consists of approximately 80 million people in the U.S. They are the fastest growing demographic in the workplace and marketplace. Globally, they are the emerging adult population that is consistently exercising more influence due to their numbers, expected longevity and hyper connectivity. Psychographically, Gen Y is known for being dependent on technology. Often disregarding what is involved mechanically, but sharply aware of efficiency and convenience, the two generations are results oriented and seekers of instant gratification (Dorsey, J. 2013, January 14) Gen Y airs on the side of environmentally conservative – which we will magnify when marketing our “no cup system” and coffee ground catch

The Tethered Generation, written by Kathryn Tyler, a self-identified member of Generation X, published this article in HR Magazine, a magazine for HR Professionals. In this piece, Tyler elaborates on what she believes to be the most dependent generation to exist: Millennials. A “frequent contributor” to the publication as a freelance writer, she has quite the background in human resources and training, which reflects in the style of this particular article. In the beginning Tyler discusses the effect that tethering to technology, peers, and parents has had on this generation. Towards the end, she writes a sort of “how to” guide on dealing with those effects in the workforce, and how to make the transition into the workplace for those individuals (and other employees) as smooth as possible. Her thesis is evident in the beginning of the article. Tyler argues that because millennials are too attached to technology and dependent on other people that are close to them (like parents and peers), they lack the skills and traits that previous generations possessed, as well as autonomy, and in the process created an epidemic of very overbearing parents that may be too concerned and involved in the life of their children, which could be detrimental to the new young adult’s development of their professional life. This rhetorical analysis is going to dissect the writer’s use of logos, pathos, and ethos in her argument.

Although these different generations tend to want similar things in a workplace their environment/background has shaped their character, values, and expectations (Hahn 2011).
