For many years Beloit College has made a mindset list that reflects to the age of college freshman with historical events. Beloit's list contains of changes in the lives of how they get the time of day to how they see a person of american history.
The first statment on the list was the one that really got me to me, I thought that I was the only person in my class or even in the whole world that couldnt write any more then my name in cursive. Some others on the list that I thought were very accurate would consist of, the nation has never approved of the job Congress is doing, it seems to me that when ever there is national news on they are always complaining about something that congress is doing or how a senator is acting out of hand. Another that I thought was very accurate was email is just too slow, and they seldom if ever use snail mail, email to me is just a big pain to deal with even though it can be very useful at times.
There are a few statments on the list that I find inaccurate, like having hundreds of cable channels but nothing to watch has always been routine, I disagree with this because I have never had cable tv and I have talked to many people that said they have never had cable tv either.
The Beloit College has put together a real good list of statments that tells how college freshman view the world. The mindset list put to geather a group of accurate and some that I would consider not so accurate statements.
