Why Baby Boomers, Millennials & GenerationX Don’t Exist | Clive Colledge | TEDxBristol

Описание: What do Michelle Obama and Nigel Farage have in common? The answer - very little. Despite this they are both labelled as “GenerationX”.

Clive Colledge invites you to forget anything the media or advertising tells you about the generation you belong to. In this timely and candid TEDx talk Clive demonstrates that labeling individuals into generational stereotypes of Millennials, GenerationX, Baby Boomers and Seniors is not only based on false data but leads to unhelpful and damaging divisions in society.

His talk proposes a fresh and exciting approach that encourages connection across generations to create innovative problem solving in society - connections based on values and interests - not age. After all, “We were born to connect. We were not born to stereotype”.

This talk is from TEDxBristol 2017: Dare To Disrupt. In a world of constant change and uncertainty, these are the ‘positive disruptors’ ripping up the rule book to challenge received wisdom, demand better, and transform seemingly insurmountable problems into break-through possibilities and new beginnings.

From making a big splash on single-use plastics, to a global campaign to end unwanted hair-touching, or a revolutionary approach to combining robotics with human creativity, we hope you’ll enjoy and feel inspired by these talks.
