This website discussed how entitlement begins and what to stop doing if you are a parent.

This article also discusses the importance of taking reasonability for their actions. This article

had a large emphasis on how to solve the problem from a parental aspect.

The purpose of this article was to inform parents about how they need to be self-aware

when dealing with their children. The intended audience for this piece was parents. I know this

because of her diction that was used. The author seems credible because she is very educated in

her field of study. That gives me trust in that she knows what she is talking about and is qualified

to be writing this article.

I will use this article to help build my argument on the root cause of entitlement and how to

deal with it as a parent. I will use this quote. “Needs and desires are met by the parent and thus

the child not only feels but knows that their parent is there to provide for them” (Battels).

This article discusses the potential long-term dangers of childhood entitlement.

This article explains what happens when kids grow up conditioned to thinking the world

owes them something. Some key topics talked about in this article are things like the

phycological aspect of entitlement, parental enforcement and long tern effects on

children.

The purpose of this article is to educate readers on the importance of sheltering

their children. The intended audience for this piece is parents and teenagers. The reason I

know this is because the diction used in this piece is educational and formal. Something a

child would have a hard time understanding. The tone of this piece is also formatted in a

way that appeals to adults. This piece is credible because both authors have extensive

expertise in their field of study. The sources provided in this piece also include detailed,

heavily researched, statistics.

This source will be one of my primary sources. I will use this as my logical

argument. This piece contains many facts. Facts cannot be debated with. I will try and fit

this quote in “Excessive entitlement can accompany a range of other problems presented

by patients encountered in psychotherapy” (Bishop and Lane 47)

This article goes over the specific research methods used when studying entitlement. This

article highlights the importance of millennial research in the workplace and how there needs to

be more honest reinforcement. This article talks about the professional aspect of what entitlement

can lead to. A couple of topics mentioned in this article are millennials, the boom generation and

potential workplace complications.

The people being targeted in this article are people in the workplace. This is set up in a

very informal way and does a good job of explaining the benefits of more research. The purpose

of this article is to educate why more research that correlated millennials with entitlement needs

to be done. I know this source is credible because its peer reviewed from the Sinclair data base.

This author has also written many other articles, proving she is knowledgeable and trustworthy.

I will use this source to help me understand why people feel entitlement should be better

measured and get a better understanding of how people even measure entitlement. I will use this

quote “Surprisingly, relatively little academic research has investigated entitlement in the

workplace, and even less has considered the central role of millennials. We believe that

millennials and millennial entitlement must be investigated, but there are several

dominant assumptions in the literature hindering our research (a) entitlement as a trait

(which precludes contextual influence), (b) the singular focus in research on the entitled

individual, and (c) entitlement only has negative effects” (Brant and Castro 528).

This article discussed whether or not entitlement has more to do with being a

misunderstanding because there is a huge generational gasp. Essentially this article said

that entitlement could be a misunderstanding. Some key subjects discussed in this piece are

work values, generational gaps, phycological expectation and attitudes toward entitlement.

The purpose of this article was to simply offer a different perspective on the

concept of entitlement in younger generations. I think the intended audience for this piece

was older generations because they are the ones who are potentially misunderstanding the

youth. This source is credible because it is from the Sinclair database and also, It includes a

variety of other sources the author used for help.

I will use this source for my counterargument. I will use the following quote

“This implicitly assumes that there is homogeneity in generational groupings and ignores

important social- demographic differences, such as gender, ethnicity and cultural and national

contexts” (Chatrakul Na Ayudya and Smithson 215).

This article discusses the relationship between people who cheat on test and kids who feel

entitled. This article is written on the educational aspect of entitlement. This article talks about

the educational aspect of potential long term affects of entitlement. Some main points of this

article Include cheating in school, higher education, epidemics and ethics.

The purpose of this article is to explain the relationship between kids of cheat, and to see if

that can be related to people who feel entitled. Kids who feel like the world owes them

something and think that everyone should be done for them, are much more likely to cheat. The

intended audience are teachers and parents. I believe this source is credible because it comes

from a very prestigious database with a highly educated author. Since the author is highly

educated, that means I can trust their expertise.

I will use this source when I talk about the link between students and entailment. If I can

prove that there are long term effects with entitlement, then I can certainly use this source as a

way of explaining long term affects. I will use the following quote “cheating in college was a

predictor of workplace cheating” (Elias 194) to explain how this problem can lead to unethical

conduct in the workplace and should not be tolerated.

This article also discussed entitlement. the education system. This article included a survey

that asked students how much they thought their grades could be determined by things like effort

and participation. Some main points presented in this article are gender, effort, grading,

participation and engagement.

The target audience was academic professors and students as well in higher education. This

article did a very good job of explaining why some students feel more entitled than others. The

purpose of this article was to explain from a student’s perspective, their opinions on how grades

“should” be determined thus ultimately showing how they feel they should be evaluated. I can

tell this source is credible because this is peer reviewed on the Sinclair database.

I will use this source as a part of my educational debate. I will use some specific data and

statistics from this article. I will also reference this quote “The same proportion of students

(66%) thought their course grade should reflect their “trying hard,” in a sample of students from

a large for-profit online academic institution” (Lemke 2)

This website talks about how parents can start helping their children become responsible,

creative, well rounded adults. This article also discusses how parents should approach the issue

of entitlement to ensure they are taking steps in the right direction.

The purpose of this website is to try and reach out to parents and help their children be

raised well. The website has a few pop-up ads when I clicked on it so that raises some concerns.

However, the information that is presented is still valid and credible. The website looks very

organized and well put together so that adds for some trust. I believe the intended audience for

this was parents because of the overall tone of this piece. The author is also very published. She

has over a dozen written pieces.

I will attempt to use this source because this source has very specific scenarios of how

parents can teach their kids how to take more responsibility for their lives. This quote I will use

certainly proves that “When they ask the next day, have real empathy for them and tell them “I

feel sad for you.  You did not follow the rules and put your clean clothes away, so now you have

lost it for the day.  I’m sorry that you made that choice.  I hope that tomorrow you can put it

away so that you can play it again!” (Mansfield)

This article focuses on the younger youth of America and how they’re suffering because of

the elderly and entitlement programs. This article talks about how people of all ages can have an
 Weaver 8

effect on the entitlement of our youth. Weather that’s directly, or indirectly. Some main points in

the article are the generation gap, phycological aspects of aging, social perception and

intergenerational relations.

The purpose of this article is to inform people about relative, important information

regarding the youth population. The intended audience if the youth of America. This article uses

examples of some slang words that the youth population would understand. I do think this piece

is credible because of the extensive data that is presented to us in this piece. The data looks to be

credible and reliable.

I will use this quote to prove that the youth is struggling because of some elderly programs.

“But much remains to be done. A recent nationwide poll conducted for AARP found only 43

percent of elders agreeing that government should spend more money on public elementary and

high schools” (Minkler).

This article looks at entitlement from a completely new perspective. This article looks at

entitlement as means for negotiation. This article argues how using entitlement to negotiate can

be a social trap. The main points of this article are negotiation, social functions, phycological

ligature and negotiation.

 Weaver 9

The purpose for this article is to persuade. The intended audience for this article seems to

be people who are educated in communications. The reason I think that is because the concept of

self-entitlement being used as negotiation is very advanced and something most people have a

hard time understanding. I know this source is credible because its written by two, highly

educated authors and cites multiple academic research findings in the article.

I will use this article as a different perspective on things. I have never heard of entitlement

being used as a form or concept of negotiation so I will look more into this when I write my

paper. This may be my wildcard source. I will use the quote “We develop and test the prediction

that phycological entitlement will serve as a double-edged sword in the negotiation context,

promoting negotiation attitudes that are individually advantageous, but at an ethical and

relational cost” (Neville and Fisk 555-556).

This specific source looks at entitlement from a relational, behavioral aspect. It discusses

the parent-child relationship and how that can lead to children becoming interdependent and

entitled. The key concepts of this article talk about interpersonal relations, attitudes toward

entitlement and parent-child relationship.

I think the audience intended for this was parents. This entire article is a study of long-term

effects of inadept parental influence for children. I feel like the author is trying to make a point

and reach out to parents. Because of this, I believe the intended audience for this piece are
 Weaver 10

parents. I believe this piece is credible and perfect for a research paper because of the

compilation of academic and scientific research statistics listed.

I will use this source to strengthen my argument when explaining the long-term effects of

entitlement. This has a lot of good data that I can use. I will use the quote “According to

Attachment Theory, warm and consistently available caregiving is central to

the development of secure attachment in early childhood and for ensuring

psychological wellbeing, whereas rejection and unavailable caregiving con-

tributes to the development of insecure attachment” (Shadach 782).
