Senior Thesis Title: 
Intergenerational Relationships and their Importance in America 

Senior Thesis Statement: 
In order to maintain a maturing and developing mindset Americans must be intentional about intergenerational relationships as they are the foundation for stability and growth in America today. 

Brief Description of Senior Thesis: 
Are all generations worthy of honor in a maturing and developing America? Yes! In order to maintain a maturing and developing mindset Americans must be intentional about intergenerational relationships as they are the foundation for stability and growth in America today. Despite characteristics that differentiate each generation, the common goal connecting each generation has been to maintain stability in progress. Intergenerational relationships also help a balance between our own lives and the lives of others. It is easy to always think that what you do is the best but it is beneficial for both parties to listen to others. Keeping an open mind is important as to not sound arrogant, condescending, or disinterested. Finally, if flourishing is the main goal for everyone, no matter the time period they were born into, there must be a willingness to learn from each other.
