I was out for dinner last night and noticed something interesting. GenYs are cultured.
Now being one of this generation myself and sitting in an up market Sushi restaurant I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised; I mean if I am out sipping green tea and using chopsticks then why wouldn’t others my age be doing the same?
What did surprise me; the topics of conversation going on around the sushi train. Out of around 30 people sitting in the restaurant around 70% were from the Y Generation and of that 70%, around 50% were lost deep in intellectual conversations about the upcoming election, the new show out at the theatre (not the cinema; yes I did say theatre) and I think one couple was even discussing social entrepreneurship!
I like to think of myself as somewhat cultured but even I was talking about trivial topics which is perhaps why the dinner discussions of others caught me off guard.
Generation Y is continuing to surprise the world. The selfish generation is not so selfish anymore. We are starting to really care about what’s happening in the world and are slowly but surely opening our eyes to the greater things in life (like the theatre) and allowing ourselves to indulge a little in the finer things.
With this new found ‘upper class’ attitude who knows what we will be capable of.
