Duh. Who else will shape it? The ones who are about to pass on? The babies who barely know anything about life? I think you're asking the wrong question here. The question is, 'How will the millennials shape the future?'
And of course they have the 'ability'---depending on how you define 'ability'. That ability isn't some superpower only choice individuals have. Ability is how they are going to change, if not influence the world.
I could go on, ranting, but it would be a waste of time. This is just the main idea.

So millennials are those people that is born between 1980 to 2000. Isinlang ako mga 1986 so I'm part of millennial generation. My view in history and politics is different for generation x just like any other millennials. I think we cared more on technology. So the question if we can shape the future, Of course we can because our mindset is on technology, invention, innovation, etc. If I'm the president I'll spend billions of dollars on research on the new materials. Build a defense system out of Nano Technology and create new weapons that no other country has, etc, etc. That's our mindset as millennials, so do you think we cannot shape the future? Watch out maybe in this generation we can build something out of ordinary.

millennials? Ewan ko lang kung na-aalala pa ba nila si tandang sora e puro sikat na mga tao lang lagi nasa isip nila(puro foreign naman) . I dont think they can shape the future, hmm. it can be, "with" the help of the older age. bawas bawasan lang siguro ang social media. baka madala nila ang ugali ng dayuhang kita na ang kaluluwa. PEACE !

I am hoping that there will come a time that I can say "Yes, millennials have the ability to shape country." But at the moment, no. Most of them are gullible enough to just believe everything they see on the internet. Parang lahat ng makita, tutoo. Copy and paste is the name of the game. Walang research. Ang hirap diyan, mas marami ang pekeng sites ngayon na gustong baguhin ang history. A number of them voted for Duterte and Marcos without knowing what they are capable of. Ask them why and they will enumerate a handful of stupid stories. Alam ko, nakikiuso lang. Yan ang millenials. Magbasa kayo, huwag facebook ng facebook! At ang basahin niyo e yung may kabuluhan, hindi kathang isip ng mga gustong magbago ng history! Wake up before it's too late. Sa inyo nakasalalay ang sunod na henerasyon. Maawa kayo sa mga magiging anak niyo!

People learn and develop from what they see and experience. Some of the people belonging to this generation could be "spoiled brats", but not all millennials in general. And even if they are, where do they learn it from? Older generations. Personality and perceptions are never instinctive. Maybe if the current people managing the country could set a better example, these millennials they complain about could learn.

Yes and at the same time, no. I am a person born and raised on this current generation. But, I don't care about social media and I have been given good education. I've been living my life off of reading literature and I do in fact, care for the country and what is going on in it. Most of these goddamn comments all speak the same thing: "Millennials are uneducated bastards and are all fame whores!" I know a lot of people like me. We care about what we have and the world we live in. The educated millennials can knock some sense into the unfortunate others and make them care about what's really going on in society. But if impossible, just know that there are back-ups and that the whole Philippines is not contaminated by juvenile delinquents.

Andaming nagagalit pag tinatawag na millenials eh totoo naman na 2000's ang kinalakihan. Sa kahit anong kaparaanan, sa ikagaganda o ikasasama ng isang bayan, ang kabataan ay may parte sa pagporma ng hinaharap. So yes yan `matic

Yes, sino na lang ba ang matitira kapag nawala na ang mga tao galing sa generation X? diba ang mga millenials? We're different at di nyo kami masisisi kung nasanay na kami sa mga social media na yan because yan ang henerasyon namin the generation of technology at hindi nyo maalis yan sa amin. Bakit nga ba may kakayahan ang mga millenials na bigyang hugis ang hinaharap? simple lang dahil sila ang hinaharap o kami ang hinaharap we are the future at sa amin nakasalalay ang hinaharap.

Granting that you didn't operationalize what 'shaping the future' means, the answer is always YES. Millenials WILL shape the future. Whether that 'shaping' is positive or not is another question.

millenials will shape our future if given the right amenities to hone their craft. even as a millenial, given the situation today, millenials can't change the future do to the attitudes we portray in social media. if we portray our netizen selves in the real world, how much more will we deal with issues in the real world. if properly solved through education and more solutions (that can be suggested by millenials) , we can shape and or improve the millenials to be the ones to shape our future.

"Do you think millennials have the ability to shape our future?" This probably was the same question our forefathers had for the generation who are currently molding the shape. Whether or not our forefathers trusted the ability of the succeeding generation shaping their future, it is only relevant to those who outlived their own generation. Whatever the shape of the future will be, the next generation will mold it on the basis of their ideas, and those ideas will be based on what are instilled in their minds by their predecessors, regardless.

Filipino youth, I want to be more hopeful for them. But my experience in higher education (as a foreigner), even in universities like De La Salle Taft, has taught me otherwise. Academic institutions don't give their students the tools to learn, or even be motivated, about shaping the future. They train their students to get corporate jobs, not to be individuals who can enact their free will on the world in positive ways. THIS is the reason for the "millennial" attitude of entitlement and discontent, that they've been trained to sell their cookie-cut skills to the highest bidders for high salaries, comfortable hours, vacation days, etc. They are not trained to be independent, nor free-willed. In some ways, I sense that much of the Filipino youth feels powerless because of the skewed academic/educational ideals here.
mindme - 8 years ago
Yes and No. Why? No, because some of them were just playing around and forget their role as a millennial or whatever you call it. And yes, because there still people knew the importance of life and now, starting to make their way for their so-called-future.

I am a millennial. Based on what I see on my facebook feed, there is not. But on the right education, like I have, I think we can. I am surrounded by intelligent individuals, and I think that is important to improve the society. Influence. I hope that people can be influenced by the right people like i did. I am grateful to all the people who taught me to be socially aware.

No! With our media illiterate youth? I don't think so. Dapat talaga gawing subject iyang Media Information Literacy sa school para mabawas-bawasan yung mga taong exposed sa social media (mostly mga kabataan) na mag disseminate ng unreliable news or sources, o magspread ng kung ano mang scandal, o mag post ng kahit anong di nakakatulong, o kahit yung simpleng post na nakakasira na ng tao at di alam ang pwedeng maging consequence, etc.

These millennials have no sense of nationalism. All they want is to get noticed in social media. Probably most of them are yellowtards or hepakids. They grew up listening / learning about fabricated and isolated stories of the martial law era. But, if their parents were law abiding citizens, they could be dutertards.
