Where do young people come down on questions of faith, values, and public life? How do they relate their values to public policy issues including education, economic inequality, and the environment? These questions, critically important for the 2012 election, are at the center of a campus conversation being organized by the Berkley Center and Georgetown University. This blog features an ongoing conversation about these issues between students selected as Millennial Values Fellows through a national competition. You can read and comment on their blogs here.

Millennial Generation Divided on Race and Gender Discrimination
September 3, 2012
The Millennial Values Survey found conflicting results when it comes to Millennials' views on race and discrimination. Although the majority (61%) of Millennials support the central components of the DREAM Act, they are divided on whether the government has paid too much attention to the problems of blacks and other minorities in the past few decades (49% disagree, 46% agree). In addition, half of young Millennials agree that discrimination against whites has become as big a problem today as discrimination against blacks (48%). Millennials are divided on the issue of gender discrimination as well. A solid majority of Millennials agree that women have fewer opportunities for good jobs than men (56%), but just as many believe that there are no longer any barriers to how far a woman can advance in the workplace. In this video blog, filmed during a lunch event at the Millennial Values Symposium in April, Millennial Values Fellows discuss the significance of the survey results and what they might suggest about Millennial attitudes toward government policies like affirmative action.
