Generations X, Y and Z have grown increasingly self-absorbed from over four decades of nurturing and education based upon boosting self-esteem.
It’s All About Me reveals the consequences of a society driven by instant gratification, a “Me, Me, Me” mentality and how younger generations can succeed in the “real world.”
The provocative and inquisitive assessments of this documentary will look at the different generations, including their history, cultural identity, traits and trends, and voice the fallout on how we arrived here. We will evaluate the Boomer legacy, for educators, parents, employers and the society in general. It will reveal what the future risks are, weigh the costs and benefits of radical individualism, and seek what opportunities exist for Gen ME to succeed in today’s world. How do Baby Boomers reconcile their top-down management style with the collaborative instincts of the younger generations? How can they harness the energy and drive of Gen ME?
We will answer these questions and more, to bridge this generational divide and lay the path toward a better future.
