Bonus assignment #3: The Most-Praised Generation Goes to Work

Zaslow, Jeffrey. "The Most-Praised Generation Goes to Work." Wall Street Journal. (Eastern edition). New York, N.Y.: Apr 20, 2007. pg. W.1
10 points
Due May 15

Do you agree with Zaslow? Why or why not?
Is it fair to call today's young people the "Generation Me?" Why? Do we have a "praised" or "over-praised" culture in the United States? Does bolstering self-esteem improve or impair performance? Point to an exact passage and compare it to your own perception or experience. Read a comment posted by your classmate and respond to it. Include your first name or initials in your comment, so I can give you credit.
