<div> Reality first appeared in the late 1980s?in the sense not of real life but rather of the TV entertainment genre inaugurated by shows such as Cops and America?s Most Wanted; the daytime gabfests of Geraldo, Oprah, and Donahue; and the tabloid news of A Current Affair. In a bracing work of cultural criticism, Eric Harvey argues that reality TV emerged in dialog with another kind of entertainment that served as its foil while borrowing its techniques: gangsta rap. Or, as legendary performers Ice Cube and Ice-T called it, ?reality rap.? Reality rap and reality TV were components of a cultural revolution that redefined popular entertainment as a truth-telling medium. Reality entertainment borrowed journalistic tropes but was undiluted by the caveats and context that journalism demanded. While N.W.A.?s ?Fuck tha Police? countered Cops? vision of Black lives in America, the reality rappers who emerged in that group?s wake, such as Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac Shakur, embraced reality?s visceral tabloid sensationalism, using the media's obsession with Black criminality to collapse the distinction between image and truth. Reality TV and reality rap nurtured the world we live in now, where politics and basic facts don?t feel real until they have been translated into mass-mediated entertainment. </div>

"If you have employees from different generations working for you, give them all this book" ― Small Business Forum
The perfect book to create understanding an conversation between cross-generational business teams.
Set up as two books featuring two perspectives and bound in one interactive lesson, Millennials vs. Boomers promotes positive understanding between generations. Millennials seek to connect with the business leaders who first implemented the practices they are beginning to master. Meanwhile, Boomers want to integrate the perspective, scope, and business practices of the young workforce into what's already been established.
Now, more than ever, it's important to improve teamwork and build mutual respect between millennials and boomers. Frustration and a shortage of compassion quickly cause proper communication to fail, and without communication, the entire work structure breaks down.
