“…Millennial generations are frequently referred to as capitalists who are highly committed to performing business by any means to serve the interests of stakeholders of suppliers, employees and customers. As the first generation living totally immersed in digital technology (Kilian, Hennigs & Langner, 2012;Kraft & Wang, 2010;Sago, 2010Taylor, 2012, providing the identities of cultural and social attitudes, millennial generations are also highly sensitive to community development of both local and global sphere (Nelson, 2015;Yadin, 2012), which in turn have more focus on communality than individuality (Pendergast, 2010). The millennial generation is characterised as informative and expressive in creative ideas and personal values to align the expectations between the owners and employees.…”

Abstract-This paper describes an experimental study that was performed among undergraduate students in their third year out of four required for their Software Engineering degree. The study's main purpose that stems from Maslow's motivational theory (self-actualization), was to explore possible motivational increase through self-grades comparisons. For that reason, a small Excel tool was provided with relative performance comparison graphs. Each student could enter his or her ID number and receive a two graphs figure. One graph represents the average class grades for all assignments and the second graph represents his or her assignments' grades. All assignments were individualized and personalized, so every student got a different set of assignments. The study revealed that the mechanism employed had a positive effect by increasing the average grades. The students' reflection supported these findings as some students expressed their views regarding the importance of their relative performance. The paper concludes with a discussion on the results and future follow-up directions.Index Terms-Enhancing students' motivation, personal and individual assignments, students' learning accountability. I. INTRODUCTIONThis paper describes an experimental study aimed at increasing the motivation of students learning towards their Software Engineering degree. 56 students in their third year (out of 4 years required for completing the degree) participated in the study that was conducted as part of the Methods in Software Engineering course. The course's grading scheme is based on 4 home assignments and an exam. All assignments were uniquely individualized due to the lecturer previous good experience with this tactic. Personal and individual assignments [1] imply that each student receives a different assignment so sharing or "borrowing" the solution or parts of the solution is impossible.

This study however, moved forward one additional step trying to increase the students' motivation even further.

This tool provided objective feedback the served the students in evaluating their personal performance in comparison to their peers. The experiment revealed that the comparative method had a positive effect on the learning habits which was manifested in the students' grades.

Whistleblowing cases that shook intelligence community in the last decade have something in common. Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning, and Reality Winner are all members of a single generation - Millennials. We challenge the viewpoint that depicts this generation as a potential "insider threat." Millennials do have certain psychological traits and attitudes that can be related to tendencies towards whistleblowing, but these findings still do not approve the rhetoric that creates distrust towards the generation. This paper proposes a shift from the cultural to the socio-psychological level of analysis, with respect to both cultural and individual characteristics of whistleblowers, but puts more emphasis on the social dimension. In comprehending recent cases of leaking classified information, it is not enough to reduce explanation to some individual personality traits or hide behind an abstraction, such as the concept of generation. To shed more light on the issue, we introduce the concept of the imagined community, such as the open source community, promoting free Internet and transparency of information and knowledge. Therefore, mental membership in an imagined community might be more decisive for blowing the whistle than the global set of values related to the whole generation of Millennials.
