Our Generation: Generation Z

synopsis

Generation Z was born between 1996 and 2012. They are growing up in a world of fundamental change and crisis. The global financial crisis, climate crisis, geopolitical crises, terrorism, and the proximity of war are all bringing about a paradigm shift, and Generation Z is keenly aware of this and wants to change the world for the better. They are more sensitive, but they also feel a stronger sense of responsibility for the future world. They live online and quickly accept and absorb new knowledge. They take a critical view of the old order and do not consider its immutability to be dogma. This brings them into sharp conflict with their parents' and grandparents' generation. The older generation cannot always accept their world, which has changed much more rapidly than in previous decades, leading to greater conflict. Some older people mockingly call young people snowflakes, and young people respond by labeling them boomers.
