This new generation is very self-entitled. They have grown up/are growing up in a society where things are handed to them. They have been bred with the expectation that things are equal and therefore lack a lot of the qualities of other generations as far as competitiveness and respectfulness. (Not to say this applies to everyone or that they are "worse" or "lower" in any way, they are just different.) We are studying this in school, it's quite interesting.
