Millennials in the New Millennium: 2000-2010
Manage episode 436592535 series 3565033
“You do not know what a day may bring forth” (Prov. 27:1). The 1990s ended with a soaring stock market and fear of a Y2K meltdown. But no one imagined the changes that the next decade would bring. The 1990s were a “time to gain” and the new millennium began with a “time to lose” (Ecc. 3:6) when the tech bubble burst. The emergency numbers 9/11 took on a whole new meaning when the Pentagon was attacked and the famous Twin Towers fell. Americans were vaguely familiar with the word “terrorism,” but after that fateful September day we grew painfully aware of it. The United States felt the wrath of an enemy with no regard for rules of conventional warfare. And while politicians and the media blamed the attack on radicals in the Islamic religion, those who took the time to look into the Quran and the life of Muhammed began to see that this religion is actually a militaristic movement masquerading under the protection of the First Amendment. This decade was full of surprises and it is packed with lessons.
