Contribution to Book
Millennials, heroes, and villains: The confluence of generational moral complexity
Heroes and Villains of the Millennial Generation
(2018)
Abstract
This chapter is about Millennial heroes and villains, with emphasis on the people
whom the Millennial generation believes to be heroes and the people whom
this generation believes to be villains. I first
define heroism and villainy, drawing from relevant theory and research in the
burgeoning field of heroism science. I will then describe what is known about
the Millennial generation and about how Millennials are believed to differ from
other generational groups. Next, I will describe social psychological theory and
research bearing on the distinctions among the various generations, from the
Silent Generation to the Post-Millennial Generation. Finally, I will provide an
overview of this book and the student authored chapters that comprise it.
