The Millennial generation breaks with their parents and grandparents on a number of social issues. The October 2012 Millennial Values Survey shows majorities of 18-25 year-olds support gay marriage, the DREAM Act that would grant citizenship opportunities for illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children, and legalizing marijuana. In this video, Ryan Price, senior at Drake University; Zeenia Framroze, sophomore at Harvard College; Seth Warner, junior at Vassar College; and Emily Atkinson, junior at Smith College in Northampton, discuss the tolerance and passion of Millennials for social issues, and the shaping of viewpoints by empathy.
