The teaser for Bob's presentation reads as follows:
Generations X and Y are facing some interesting times. The Great Recession, a changing socioeconomic structure, America's growing fiscal crises, and the development of new global superpowers all bring with them great uncertainty. There's a chance that our generation may be the first in America to not have a better standard of living than the previous generation. How do we make sure that our world is in a better shape than it was when the Baby Boomers handed it over to us? There's only one way... good citizenship. We must take an active role in community affairs and be attentive to the concept of self-government.
