The Socio-Cultural Study of Veterans Re-Entering Civilian Society Donald R. Balis Sociology 290-831 at Joliet Junior College November 30, 2012 Abstract The purpose of this case study was to bring awareness to the daily struggles that veterans face upon their return and integration back into civilian society once their tour is over.

This article clearly tends to make the reader consider non-traditional explanations of Millennials attitudes. Koc initially provides the reader with universally accepted knowledge of the Millennial Generation job seekers, namely, their being brought up with parents who provided both financial and emotional support to ensure their success and high self-esteems, no matter the toll on the parent. He states that these parents are often referred to as helicopter parents “hovering adults that insist on reviewing, the young adult’s workplace contracts… before allowing their offspring to enter onto their career paths” (Koc, 2008, p. 15). This assessment is debunked with his examples of two former presidents who either had a controlling parent or could be considered a controlling parent, which is a sure indication that Millennials does not hold a monopoly on helicopter parenting. Next Koc looks to expose the urban legend of Millennials’ work-life balance attitudes in which he states, it “is inevitably translated to mean that today’s graduates are not as career driven as were graduates in the past” (2008, p. 15).
