Concept Creep - How Millennials Became So Sensitive To Harm
Finally, after I have experienced years of confusion and personal loss, PROFESSOR NICK HASLAM has provided valid explanations for the different meanings and interpretion of terms between millenials and the generations before them i.e. Abuse/neglect; Bullying; Trauma; Mental Disorder; Addiction; and Prejudice.
Haslam has written "powerful" academic papers that explain where this division comes from; why it is being socially engineered; and the damage it is causing. He has provided precise ammunition to counter the illogical and confounding reasoning that has created a generation of overly sensitive individuals identifying as victims.
Ammunition is a strong word, but warranted, because cancel culture is the weapon deployed to completely immobilize anyone wanting to discuss or debate with individuals and groups that claim their subjective reasoning is right and cannot be challenged.
If we don't stop this soon it will become a permanent disability within society as millenials carry it forward.
This 2016 article by Conor Friedersdorf briefly explains Haslam's "Concept Creep". But there are more to be found. I am still reading and absorbing Haslam's academic papers and will eventually return to this thread to help generate awareness. I just couldn't wait any longer to start providing links as I think a few members will be interested in digging into this research because it is proof needed for discussions they may be trying to have outside the forum.
