Product Description
Product Description
For Generation Y, born after 1982, Margaret Thatcher is a piece of social history, relationships happen over the Internet and music marks their territory. How does this generation think about the world? What does their spirituality look like? And what implications does this have for the Church? "Making Sense of Generation Y" addresses the urgent need for the Church to reconnect with young people in today's society, and to communicate with them in a way they can understand. Through researching the relationship young people aged 16-25 have to the popular arts (soaps, film, music, clubbing, advertising and culturally iconic images), the authors explore the implications of their worldview for youth work and youth ministry as well as the wider church.

Know your Youth,

This review is from: Making Sense of Generation Y: The World View of 15- to 25-year-olds (Explorations) (Paperback)
It was very well written and cogently argued. I think the choice of influences was a fraction limiting in identifying their mini-narrative world view. However, if you want a window into some general trends arising from their behaviour, this is a more than useful starting point.
