The cover photo,
fittingly, is a teenage girl snapping a selfie. The accompanying story,
written by Joel Stein, sums up Millennials as such: They’re narcissistic. They’re lazy. They’re coddled.
They’re a bit delusional.
The National Institute of
Health backs this up. Among people in their 20s, Narcissistic Personality
Disorder is three times as high as in other adults. However, despite being
self-obsessed social-media addicts, these young adults are really the US'
saviors - or at least have the potential to be.
Changing fast in a world
undergoing rapid technological shifts, they’re surprisingly optimistic,
confident, pragmatic and most of all, adaptable. Despite its somewhat
positive (or at least mixed) conclusion, the story is receiving backlash for
its overt, sweeping generalizations of 80 million people
