They are born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s, the millennial generation is 80 million strong. Over the next two decades, millennials have the potential to become the largest spending generation in history, according to the white paper Five Luxe Trends for 2015 by Pam Danziger of Unity Marketing. They not only surpassed Baby Boomers as the United States’ largest living generation, they have also caught up to the Boomers when it comes to their ability to vote for, and influence, the American electorate. Education and health care remained the first- and second-highest social issues of interest for Millennials, but employment/wages edged out the economy as the thirdhighest issue of interest. According to Pew Research, 43% of Millennials identify as “non-white.” This
Change Marks the Passing of a Year The four seasons vary significantly in characteristics, and can prompt changes in the world around them. The passing of a year can bring a marked change in the weather and the surrounding environment. The four seasons — winter, spring, summer, autumn — can vary significantly in characteristics, and can prompt changes in the world around them. Let’s take an overview of these four separate periods. Attributes of the seasons may vary by location, but there are still broad definitions that cross most of the boundaries. In the spring, seeds take root and vegetation begins to grow. The weather is warmer, and often wetter.
diversity is a hallmark of their generation, which is why they crave it in the workplace. But unlike older generations, who view hiring minorities as a company’s moral and legal obligation—as a matter of equal opportunity—Millennials see it as an essential element in fostering corporate innovation and creative problem-solving there is even greater shifts to occur as millennials continue to age. “Millennials view diversity as the blending of different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives within a team, which is known as cognitive diversity,” explains Lydia Dishman for Fast Company. This emphasis on diversity as an asset, rather than a requirement, makes Millennials 71% more likely to focus on teamwork in the office. Millennials will be the generation that will unite and take on the task of running the United States together.
Animals wake or return from warmer climates, often with newborns. Melting snow from the previous season, along with increased rainfall, can cause flooding along waterways, in some cases. In the summer, temperatures may increase to their hottest of the year. If they spike too high, heat waves or droughts may cause trouble for people, animals, and plants. For example, in the summer of 2003, the high temperatures claimed more than 30,000 lives. In the autumn, or fall, temperatures cool again. Plants may begin to grow dormant. Animals might prepare themselves for the upcoming cold weather, storing food or traveling to warmer regions. Various cultures have celebrated bountiful harvests with annual festivals. Thanksgiving is a good example. Winter often brings a chill. Some areas may experience snow or ice, while others see only cold rain. Animals find ways to warm themselves, and may have changed their appearance to adapt. “In a similar way to the Autumnal theme, winter festivals celebrate the return of
the light during a time of deepest physical darkness,” The timing and characteristics of the seasons depends upon the location on Earth. Regions near the equator experience fairly constant temperatures throughout the year, with balmy winters barely discernible from warm summers. This is because it gets fairly constant light from the sun, due to its position on the outer curve of the Earth. For areas to the north and south, the seasons can change more significantly. People closer to the poles might experience icier, more frigid winters, while those closer to the equator might suffer hotter summers. Other factors can also affect the weather and temperature over the seasons; some areas experience dry summers as temperatures spike, while others might call summer their “wet season.” A wet season is when the average precipitation of an area is 2.4 inches (60 millimeters) or more, according to the British Broadcasting Company (BBC). Mountainous regions might experience more snowfall than plains within the same latitude, while oceanfront property could see an increase in violent tropical storms as the weather shifts.
