Editorial: It is the popular assumption that millennials are less altruistic than the generation that came before them. Company reports of top-down volunteer programs and suggested donations through work are less likely to be performed by millennials and more likely to be performed by the generation that preceded them. Millennials who are on board with company donation programs are rare.
The argument fails to acknowledge corporate altruism, which is a responsibility that a corporation has to the environment and the impact it has on society, is a flaw in the argument. Corporate responsibility is just as important as individual responsibility, especially when it has so large an effect on the world.
