Our Generation

Our Generation is a compelling book on social philosophy and the human condition. It is an observation of how society has been formed through a conflict of logical thought and emotional projection. Using examples from the past, the modern day and the future to detail the opposition we all have within our minds and the profound consequences through lack of self-awareness. Our Generation looks in to detail to the profound topics of every day life and undresses the psychology behind what all humans hold dear. Religion, sexuality, social media, feminism, the natural world, war and technology are all subject to critical discussion within these pages and the psychology behind them are all peered in to.

Here is a complete blueprint for managing and leading the millennial generation. As we continue to take over the workforce, leaders should begin to understand what makes millennials tick and why we are so different than any other generation to come before and after. Why are millennials called lazy or entitled? What motivated millennials? How has social media transformed our way of thinking? Millennial Influence covers all of the questions and more while offering the reader some history and actionable strategies to enable them to understand better and guide millennials. For millennials looking to increase their influence, there is information on how millennial can better communicate, relate, and interact with other generations to increase work productivity. Millennial Influence is an excellent book for a light Sunday or lunch break read. "As the first book in this series, my focus was on providing insight that both millennials and other generations could use, today," says D'Vaughn Bell. He explains how his motivation for the book stems from "not spending a minute in college" and his thirst for entrepreneurship. "Entrepreneurship grants us more failures than any job ever will. This ideology is why entrepreneurs make for better business coaches and consultants. I want my book to inspire anyone looking to start a business or exceed on the corporate ladder. I may not have the experience of working directly 'for' but have worked directly 'with' many companies of all sizes." Aside from being the first generation of digital influencers, millennials are tech-savvy, constructive feedback thirsty little machines. Once business leaders and managers can grasp this concept, they can craft dominating workforces of a success-driven generation. There's a common misconception that millennials are lazy. "We're not lazy, we're just more aware of what is possible and aren't settling for social security, pension, 401K, a wide, dog, and a white picket fence." Grab your digital copy of Millennial Influence and leverage a proven way to manage, lead, and work with the different generations in the workplace.

Teach about what matters. Our job is to excite students and adult learners about the world, to help them see the role that they can play in making society more equal and more just, to express their ideas powerfully, to see that social and historical materialism studies is about real people’s lives and about their relationship to each other and to nature to be enlightened. No matter how long the night, the day is sure to come. Transformation is only valid if it is carried out with the people, not for them…Liberation is like a childbirth, and a painful one. The person who emerges is a new person, no longer oppressor or oppressed, but a person in the process of achieving freedom… is only the oppressed who, by freeing themselves, can free their oppressors. The age of nations is past. The task before us now. If we would not perish, it is to shake off our ancient prejudices and to build the earth. You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you. But if you yourself don’t know it, all of that doesn’t even matter. To achieve a new and better order of society, the oppressed working class need not allow their oppressors to represent them in parliament. To decide which member of the ruling class is to repress and crush the people through parliament is the real essence of to realize the dictatorship character in the parliament. Dictatorship is a rule based directly upon force and unrestricted by any laws. The role of the oppressed societies need to be organized for the necessity of revolution to defeat dictatorship’s ideology as it can never be solved by reformation according the revolutionary theory. What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality. Most people are not achieving their dreams because they are living in their fears. Achievement is the product of conscious decisions and action that can challenge the tragedy of life. Action, clarity. dare create the achievement of the required goal.

Held on June 22, 1938, in Yankee Stadium, the second Louis-Schmeling fight sparked excitement around the globe. For all its length--the fight lasted but two minutes--it remains one of the most memorable events in boxing history and, indeed, one of the most significant sporting events ever. In this superb account, Lewis A. Erenberg offers a vivid portrait of Joe Louis, Max Schmeling, their individual careers, and their two epic fights, shedding light on what these fighters represented to their nations, and why their second bout took on such international importance. Erenberg shows how in the first fight Schmeling shocked everyone with a dramatic twelfth-round knockout of Louis, becoming a German national hero and a (unwilling) symbol of Aryan superiority. In fact, the second fight was seen around the world in symbolic terms--as a match between Nazism and American democracy. Erenberg discusses how Louis' dramatic first-round victory was a devastating blow to Hitler, who turned on Schmeling and, during the war, had the boxer (then serving as a paratrooper) sent on a series of dangerous missions. Louis, meanwhile, went from being a hero of his race--"Our Joe"--to the first black champion embraced by all Americans, black and white, an important step forward in United States race relations. Erenberg also describes how, after the war, the two boxers became symbols of German-American reconciliation. With Schmeling as a Coca Cola executive, and Louis down on his luck, the former foes became friends, and when Louis died, Schmeling helped pay for his funeral. Here then is a stirring and insightful account of one of the great moments in boxing history, a confrontation that provided global theater on an epic scale.
