I totally agree with you on that BidKid. I have two millennial daughters who completely understand responsibility, independence, and have great work ethics. Never did anything special to make them that way other than take an interest in what they were up to and never pushed them to be perfect or get over involved in after school activities. While they still had a very different upbringing than I did, they turned out fine. I'm hoping that my 9 year old turns out the same way.
I teach some courses to younger adults starting in their career and they are there because they want to be. I see a lot of hope in the future generations. They tend to be more collaborative, more likely to be socially responsible, and actually have a good awareness of the world around them.
Then there is my future son-in-law. I won't go there .... 
Point is everyone is different and I'll leave it at that.
