Introduction
For the last fifty years of history of the world, globalization has been high on the list of socio-political, economic and cultural spheres. There is a continuous increase in independent economies around the globe and that fused into one unified whole. International trade is a normal phenomenon that people forget it was not always the case. Currently, the future of any generation is in the hands of their students and their early career practitioners. The Millennial generation of chiropractors exemplify attributes that are matchlessly evolving to the landscapes of the contemporary century.
The forces of globalization have shaped the Millennial with communication exchange, economic integration, and cultural diffusions. As a consequence, they operate in environments that are both vertically and horizontally integrated across cultural and national boundaries. Millennial is a generation raised with a global mindset with the ability to meet the contemporary demands of the globalized world. Moreover, through social media, they leverage complex social networks with shared ideas and identities. This significant feature of the globalized world affords Millennial an unprecedented level of exposure that permits them towards innovative solution towards longstanding issues. These social networks would improve they are standardize messaging for the development of a coordinated professional response.
Globalization along with technological advancement demands different ways of attitude towards diversity, communication, idealism about the future and professional engagements. In this regard, Millennial has a clear vision in the contemporary globalized world and are preparing to actualize that notion. They have unique values and strengths will ensure a vibrant growth in the coming decades.
The concept of a generation has been explained as an individual within a specific age by virtue of global or national events and social events, represent values, common experiences and a sense of identity ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Sy041Fvf","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Roberts DH, Newman LR, & Schwartzstein RM, n.d.)","plainCitation":"(Roberts DH, Newman LR, & Schwartzstein RM, n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":46,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/HRK7Z9MQ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/HRK7Z9MQ"],"itemData":{"id":46,"type":"webpage","title":"Twelve tips for facilitating Millennials' learning. - PubMed - NCBI","URL":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22288944","author":[{"family":"Roberts DH","given":""},{"family":"Newman LR","given":""},{"family":"Schwartzstein RM","given":""}],"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",4,18]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Roberts DH, Newman LR, & Schwartzstein RM, n.d.). The global individual and cross-cultural differences surely do exist within generations and the contemporary generational typecasting is usual that would possibly useful for predicting challenges and opportunities.
The Millennial generation who born during the last five decades are referred to as ‘Traditional Generation' and that embody sub-generations like ‘Greatest Generations' or ‘Silent Generation'. The Millennial generation would possibly enter into the workforce at the dawn of the new millennium. They had bookended the twentieth century and are the largest generation in the US workforce. In the next decade, they will make up 75 percent of the contemporary workforce and are ambitious as their concept of success is different than that of the older generation. Moreover, they prefer vertical security in an organization and are socially connected.
The Effects of Globalization
There are three factors that would possibly effect Millennial in the contemporary globalized world: the world free of racism, barriers based on religion, gender, culture and nationality, and the ability to play and work anywhere around the world. Globalization is instrumental to the establishment of a world that millennial want and the majority of them view themselves as ‘global citizens' rather than citizens of a particular state. Moreover, they are of the view that through collaboration it would be possible to acquire a better future based on globalization. They want their countries for collaboration rather than competition, such as ‘competitive collaboration'. In addition, through collaboration, they can move to any part of the world that empowers them. A study says that more than two-thirds of millennial are sound financially as they work and live in other parts of the world ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"wBj0fnfZ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Umoh, 2017)","plainCitation":"(Umoh, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":50,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/UEASTC2C"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/UEASTC2C"],"itemData":{"id":50,"type":"webpage","title":"Millennials say these 3 things will have a big impact on their success","abstract":"As millennials begin to infiltrate the workplace, they are already shaping what it means to attain success.","URL":"https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/07/millennials-say-these-3-things-will-have-a-big-impact-on-their-success.html","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Umoh","given":"Ruth"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017",12,7]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",4,18]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Umoh, 2017). Living and working in other countries would surely create opportunities for education and better jobs that are in fact a key aspect of the personal freedom and economic growth of the countries where they reside.
Millennial, however, they believe that globalization would possibly fit the aspirations. While companies such as the tech space are becoming progressively global and offer different programs that entice millennial. The best millennial employees are sent to the developing countries that help in developing leadership, improve problem-solving skills and eventually strengthens their loyalties towards the companies. Millennial is caring about the contemporary socio-political and economic issues regardless of their ethnic and cultural belongings and it is because they work as a global team.
Intergenerational Leadership
Globalization has been reshaping the cross-cultural intergenerational leadership both vertically and horizontally. Millennial, in this regard, are facing the dizzying pace of globalization as it comprises of three vital levels such as socio-cultural, political and economic ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Arzkn1Up","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Perruci, 2011)","plainCitation":"(Perruci, 2011)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":48,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/8BETIKDQ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/8BETIKDQ"],"itemData":{"id":48,"type":"article-journal","title":"Millennials and globalization","container-title":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"5","source":"ResearchGate","abstract":"There is much discussion about the way Millennials are shaping organizations in the 21st century.

While the important level and also the source of integration is the economic level. The flow of trade and capital are getting concerns about globalization with a continuous increase. While the emerging economies of the world are becoming the source of exports.
In the case of society and culture, globalization has been building bridges across the local, regional and international boundaries. While such cross-cultural exchanges have brought opportunities for growth and learning. At the same time, it has brought challenges, the cross-cultural exchanges have produced differences and social conflicts. This is, in fact, the absolute truth that the millennial has been facing due to the globalization and have tempted to acquire their own national interests. For example, the rise of nationalism has made matters worse and pushing it into deeper chaos.
There have been desperate efforts for bringing order with a new perspective on the part of global leadership. In this regard, the millennial has been asked to take a leadership role. For that, there have been different leadership programs in colleges and universities to counter such interest-based narratives. But unfortunately, these leadership programs lack-cross cultural elements in their curriculum. Moreover, globalization has been forcing them to face the cross-cultural aspects of the leadership by breaking down the national barriers. There are two perspectives on whether globalization has increased or decreased nationalism. However, the increasing international interconnectedness did not indicate a complete rejection of national communities and political units ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"7k6OysPU","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Rosenboim, 2017)","plainCitation":"(Rosenboim, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":52,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/7ZEJE86Q"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/7ZEJE86Q"],"itemData":{"id":52,"type":"article-magazine","title":"Globalism and Nationalism","source":"www.foreignaffairs.com","abstract":"The idea that globalism is fundamentally at odds with national sovereignty is false.","URL":"https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2017-07-10/globalism-and-nationalism","ISSN":"0015-7120","language":"en-US","author":[{"family":"Rosenboim","given":"Or"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017",7,19]]},"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",4,18]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Rosenboim, 2017).

Moreover, this generation has a unique style of cultural influence and that are important medical educators in all aspects of their teaching, along with student assessment, curriculum design, and interaction between teachers and students. They conclude that an increasing awareness regarding the current learners will be able to establish interaction with millennial.

Jay Straker opines that the past two decades have witnessed a great flow in the studies of social practice and youth within a specific group and country in Africa and around the world ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"4zlAsy6y","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Straker, 2007)","plainCitation":"(Straker, 2007)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":45,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/6ACX3H99"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/6ACX3H99"],"itemData":{"id":45,"type":"article-journal","title":"Youth, Globalisation, and Millennial Reflection in a Guinean Forest Town","container-title":"The Journal of Modern African Studies","page":"299-319","volume":"45","issue":"2","source":"JSTOR","archive":"JSTOR","abstract":"[The last two decades have witnessed a surge in studies of youth culture and social practice.

Youths in large cities and young combatants involved in insurgency or counter-insurgency have shared centre stage in studies of youthful Africa. This article argues for broadening the research agenda of African youth studies, calling for increased attention to the interpretive work performed by provincial youths as they try to understand and hopefully alter the future prospects of their communities in the new century. It shows how ideas about the meanings of globalisation and 'the millennium', intertwined with experiences of a recent refugee 'crisis', are shaping Guinean youths' socio-political reflections and yearnings.

Though stating that they want to be enlightened in academia, some qualitative comments from millennials indicate the opposite, namely that they want to be prepared but also to be kept naïve as to what business really entails. This is expected to help keep motivation levels high, as motivation is seen to be the key element to success in life. Millennials expect also to be led authentically and to be treated as valued human beings. This is in contrast to the current autocratic leadership profile found predominantly in Portuguese organizations, at the time of writing. This study had a sample of one hundred and eleven millennial students who answered a survey on attitudes towards leadership and their desired approach to higher education. Three interviews with seasoned executives were also performed, to establish a contrast and see other perspectives.\nWith this research, we conclude that we may be in the presence of a hard working millennial generation, contrary to previous research findings which has indicated that they are lazy. Finally, information technology (IT) is a precious partner in class, in particular Padlet.com, Moodle, and online News Forums, as well as the challenge to create original videos about course content. Future research should focus on how technology has made society more transparent with employees wanting more democratic leaders in times when hierarchies are seen to hinder rather than aid productivity levels.","DOI":"10.1016/j.tele.2017.10.007","journalAbbreviation":"Telematics and Informatics","author":[{"family":"Au-Yong Oliveira","given":"Manuel"},{"family":"Gonçalves","given":"Ramiro"},{"family":"Martins","given":"José"},{"family":"Branco","given":"Frederico"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017",10,1]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Au-Yong Oliveira, Gonçalves, Martins, & Branco, 2017) alves in their survey conducted on millennial students’ attitude towards higher education and leadership.

Mehdi Nejatbakhsh, by observing the rapid increase in globalization in current decades has resulted in a cosmopolitan view particularly among the new generation ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"SvJQCFkS","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Nejatbakhsh, 2014)","plainCitation":"(Nejatbakhsh, 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":59,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/PSPEL3N5"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/PlleVRGT/items/PSPEL3N5"],"itemData":{"id":59,"type":"article-journal","title":"Globalization, Cosmopolitanism, and the New Generations: Growing Up with Global Ties","container-title":"Theses and Dissertations","URL":"https://dc.uwm.edu/etd/509","title-short":"Globalization, Cosmopolitanism, and the New Generations","author":[{"family":"Nejatbakhsh","given":"Mehdi"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014",5,1]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Nejatbakhsh, 2014). For a generational change, they have become the agents by using the World Values Survey (WVS) apart from interviews and blog analysis. His study has analyzed whether the new generation is becoming more cosmopolitan or not. He concluded that the new generation is, in fact, becoming more cosmopolitan. While there exist qualitative differences between the older and newer generation. The new generation is found more reflexive compared to the older generation who is more objective. However, today there are various kinds of cosmopolitanism. For social research, the study has tried to treasure a global methodology.
