PARAGRAPH (5-8 SENTENCES)!
Stein uses the data and reason to criticize millennials’ sense of
entitlement. In the second paragraph of his article, he discusses how
millennials use themselves as their own moral compass in situations. Through
the use of logos, Stein asserts that “…they’re so convinced of their own
greatness that the National Study of Youth and Religion found the guiding
morality of 60% of millennials in any situation is that they’ll just be able to
feel what’s right…” The national study’s results confirm Stein’s bias toward
the millennials as it proves his claim of their overt narcissism and seems to
poke fun at their obvious sense of entitlement. Later in the article on line 63,
Stein continues his claim by referencing English teacher’s David Mccullough,
Jr.’s graduation address to a high school class. In this address, Mccullough
stresses that millennials are not special and should expect to be given nothing
without hard work. Logic presented in McCullough’s argument conveys the
need to present realistic outcomes for the entitled millennial. Stein’s ability to
use the logos appeal reiterates that narcissistic millennials reflect a lack of
work ethic to achieve their desired goals.
