College Free Write

Rick Perlstein's argument that College has downgraded from what it once was seems a bit crude and an unsubstantial argument. He exclaims that our generation has lost a sense of creativity and youth but has very bias examples as proof and seems to be ridiculing college kids today. I'm not sure if my opinion is bias (seeing I am a college student) but I agreed with Weinger's rebuttal. I felt similar with his opinion, that Perlstein was giving the timeless "back in my day...we were better" argument. That every generation feels as though the upcoming youth has changed for the worse. Although Perlstein is right in our generation is protesting the Vietnam war, for I think it is an overstatement to conclude we have no new opinions or a certain spunk. Our generation in our competitive job market, work hard if not harder the previous generations. With globalization and new technology we must be smarter, and more creative then we have ever been.
