We’ve always heard from our parents about those “good ol’ days,” and how we just don’t understand how it “used to be.” Beloit College, a small Wisconsin school of about 1,250 students, puts together a list called the “Mindset List,” which attempts to understand how today’s youth thinks.
It was originally intended to act as a guidebook for the obviously much older faculty to avoid cultural references that their students may not understand when it was first introduced in 1998. Since then, it has become an interesting look at the changing dynamics of today’s society.
