Characteristics Of The Millennial Generation

William Strauss and Neil Howle believed that each generation has a set of characteristics. The standards of our time should reflect the characteristics of the coming of age generation. The millennials have more education, racially diverse and are entering adulthood during a recession. Most are liberal, support abortion laws, marriage equality and are agnostic. However the key events chosen portray higher value than other situations and all are situated in the time of their own generation. Each of these historical development have been successful in building some sort of process, either positive or negative, that have impacted the current areas of knowledge. The question asks if certain events in time that have, in a way, impacted the areas
Judging the Spanish Inquisition by the standards of our time because it created the current mentality of agnosticism of the Millennial generation is invalid because of the current proof of adaptability from the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church keeping up with the modern standards can be shown with current Pope Francis comment on gay priests: “Who am I to judge?”. While not a liberal, the Pope has encouraged priests to pardon women who regret having abortions and has simplified the process of nullifying marriages. The Pope shows to be more engaged on the current social issues that his predecessors did not follow as much. Showing how Christianity can adapt to modernity is Brian D. McLaren that writes how a more objective view of history could upgrade to a better understanding of the Bible. In order to attempt to stop the Church to be as inclusive and reach the educated generation of Millennials. The Spanish Inquisition can be seen, as Spanish historian saw, as “ultimately justifiable political ends”. If the thesis states that we should judge with the standards of our time but reflect on the circumstances of the time of this specific key event then reflection towards the institution can only be observed as political interests, as it being managed by the Crown of Spain and not from the Pope.

The eugenics movement was born in order to improve the human race, it is the science of improving the human population by monitored breeding to increase the heritable preferred characteristics in the DNA. In a book by L.C Dunn from the 1920s, he discusses the need for the use of sterilization and reproduction laws. In which he describes the economically low classes, whose contribution to society is small and how the elimination of their ‘stock’ would be beneficial. Reason was used as the driving force to make the decision of supporting sterilization of those deemed “unfit” to a society that expressed racism through media, and the revival of racist extremist groups. In a society that views diversity as something to be celebrated, the thought of sterilizing because of race would seem ‘unreasonable’. The way of knowing has changed with time, now the topic of eugenics can only be argued by its negative effects and the measures that lead to become an unethical practice. Eugenics was supposed to be a step towards modernity and breakthrough to overcome basic human limitations like aging and biological constraints that were seen as vulnerabilities. Only after determining social values after the WWII were we able to learn that eugenics promoted biological racism, then would we still believe eugenics to be an improvement? When will the next scientific knowledge
