What do you think the biggest cultural differences are between your generation and your parents’ generation?
Freedom. I think that although my parents –who are baby boomers– had a relatively easy time compared to their own parents. My parents saw some pretty incredible cultural revolutions, however, they only went so far. I think subsequent generations and my own push the envelope a lot more and here we are! However, many things are being reversed, take a look at the news. The level of self-expression is mind boggling and a lot more people are living their truest and best lives; something that people of my parents; generation never had the chance to do. That being said, there is still much of the same institutionalized and systemic injustice which traps many sections of the population.
