Todayβs teenagers and young adults, ranging in age from about 10-22. Whatever source you look up says something different, though.
We grew up in a post 9/11 world, were kids when the economy crashed, saw the first black man elected president and the first orange man elected president. Social media and iPhones were and are part of growing up for us.
Although the world is statistically getting better, weβve never felt like we live in a peaceful world. As kids, we watched the war in Iraq and Afghanistan on TV. We have seen the rise of ISIS, school shootings, and huge natural disasters due to climate change. We have been inundated with bad news and fake news due to growing up with the internet. Adults told us growing up that we were entitled narcissists and our phones that they invented were destroying our social skills.
We grew up on youtube, twitter and instagram, making friends with people halfway across the world since we were young. We are the first truly global generation. Our claim to fame is our memes.
We have been handed a world that is more complex and faster changing than any other time in history. Many see it as broken. We saw the world lose itβs footing around 2016 when Trump became president, Brexit passed, and Harambe died. Many of us question whether or not itβs ethical to have kids, because we wonder if theyβll be around to see the end of the world. We are ridden with depression and anxiety and worry for the future. We are doing the best we can.

A generation of migrants getting naturalized, that are used to bring in people of their own country into a new country.
What causes these immigrant waves, and economical problems?
Most of them are because of an anchor generation. A mom and dad get accepted, and let their son or daughter only marry a partner of their home country. Quite often also used to get their whole family migrated.
Ok, but that would be only one family, can't do no harm right?
It would do no harm if they would not breed 12 children, each marrying people of their own country, breeding more of their own race.
An anchor generation would not be called an anchor generation if the generation following would intermingle and take up the culture and society of the new country instead of living their own.

The car form the "Duke's of Hazard" TV show. It's a 1969, Dodger charger with altered engine, the number 01 on painted on the sides and the doors welded shut like a typical racing car. It was named after general Robert E. Lee, commanding general of the main Confederate Army during the Civil War. His army was based out of Virgina due to it'd large population. This would account for the car's Rebel Flag paint job and it's horn that played the first few notes of "Dixie". The car's main purpose was to drive really fast and do a lot of sweet jumps while the duke boys hooted and hallered.
Let's watch the general Lee jump another dip
