In September, I took on teaching three sections of ENG1100: Workshop in Essay Writing, a required course for first-year students at the University of Ottawa. Facing 200 students every week really keeps you on your toes, so I like to challenge them in return. Their first assignment was to write, in groups of five, an essay answering the question “What is the biggest challenge facing your generation?” An overwhelming number of students pointed to technology as the biggest challenge,specifically how cell phones run — and ruin — their lives via social isolation, distraction, cyberbullying, and eroding relationships. Some pointed to environmental issues, lack of respect from older generations, or mental health as the biggest challenges. Some looked to the wider world, pointing to “society’s new-found ignorance” and apathy regarding Indigenous issues, rights issues, the news cycle, politics, and “peaceful co-existence.” The following essay touches on many of these issues, and I would like to share it with you as an end-of-year message to all generations. — Ruth Bradley-St-Cyr, Senior Editor, CIPS
Living in the information age, we are often overwhelmed by the tragic content we find while trying to relax in front of our can be exhausting to discern which news is real, which is fake, and which is so terrible that it makes us numb to the outside world. Finding meaning and purpose in these articles is not our first response; it is much more convenient to post wishful thoughts and prayers rather than attempt to do anything to remedy the situation. Today with social media, our safety bubble, conversing about the world’s biggest issues has become not only a fad, but also a sedative to replace action. Many people convince themselves they have done their part by making a Facebook post, or retweeting something intolerant Donald Trump said, adding only a petty remark in the comment section.
