Everyone sees the future in a different way; some see greater technological advancements while others might see a more peaceful humanity. This indecision leads to the ongoing debate over whether or not this generation, Millennials, has a role to play in America's future.

Each new generation has a role to play in the future of our country, as they fill the gaps of others who can no longer work or have passed away.

Having the opportunity to influence the entire world, it is our duty to take action, express our opinions and bring about change, because we are the future. Taking a back seat in this matter not only limits the possibilities available to us, but also those of all subsequent generations. Works Cited Brokaw, Tom. The Greatest Generation.
