问答题 《复合题被拆开情况》 Each generation has its own set of values and characteristics. But one thing common to all generations is that they are suffering from stress. In a recent poll by the American Psychological Association (APA), all age groups now report higher levels of stress than in the past. Baby Boomers (those born roughly between 1946 and 1964, and who are now moving into their retirement years) said that they are stressed about money and health issues. Gen Xers (bom roughly between 1965 and 1980) are concerned about work, money, and job stability. However, Millennials (born roughly between 1981 and 2004) are turning out to be the most stressed-out of all generations. Poll results indicate that stress levels for these younger respondents are significantly above average. So what’ s worrying the Millennials? Millennials are the first generation to grow up with computers in the home and the classroom. Due to the rise of modem technology and social media, they are constantly bombarded with information. Over time, this information overload can become too much to handle and can result in chronic stress, which can cause serious physical, psychological, and emotional problems. Another contributing factor, according to author Michael D. Hais, is that many Millennials have lived sheltered lives due to overprotective parents. These young adults lack problem-solving skills and may struggle with fear of failure once they leave home. To make matters worse, the 2008 recession occurred when many Millennials were graduating from school or college. The resulting economic slowdown reduced the number of available jobs for graduates. Sure enough, in the APA poll, Millennials said that work, money, relationships, family responsibilities, and the economy are the main stressors in their lives.
