Columnist LZ Granderson misses the mark on the technology of younger adults bringing their dad and mom to job interviews. Sure, we skilled a as soon as in a lifetime pandemic throughout their important adolescence, and sure, it typically looks like society is falling aside on the seams with wars and local weather change. However how lengthy will we blame international points for behaviors that these younger folks can and should overcome?
The distinction between those that grow to be assured adults and those that want their dad and mom with them every time they expertise something new is that the latter have been coddled into feeling like they’re incapable of taking the leap into maturity. It’s a defeatist perspective of society’s woes and the results of poor boundaries with expertise and social media which might be protecting these youngsters from rising up.
