What Is Generation Z?
‘Generation
Z’ is also addressed as ‘Gen Z’ in short and colloquially known as ‘zoomers’.
Gen Z spans from the late or mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years to the early
2010s as the ending birth years.
Generation
Z has been the first generation to get introduced to many things. It has been
the first generation who got to use the internet for the first time, to get
their social media accounts, to get connected to others in the most easier way
possible not just across the states but also across the world. This generation
is the first one to step into different technologies in depth and study them
thoroughly.
Not
just to internet and technologies but also the ones with more literacy rate,
better hygiene conditions, a generation who have faced a corona crisis, a high
level of unemployment, so many changes in the education system, a person becoming
twice a prime minister, have a lower rate of teenage pregnancies, higher rate
of pollution, start-ups of industrialization, and also gen z is greater than
the general population.
If
we go on a survey we would find half of our generation busy with their
graduations, jobs, schooling, choosing their career path and messed up in that.
As this generation has been the first ones to get introduced to these new
technologies, various kinds of career options, and advanced society with heavy
competition in every section of society.
Some Noticeable Differences
In
this generation, there are people with many kinds of mindsets. As people who
are born in the late or mid-1990s usually relate to their old era back to the 90s
and 80s and are not much enlightened about today’s technology and so. And there
come the people born in the early 2010s who are well-informed and educated
about technology and well-updated about today’s digital world.
This
generation is a mix of both old and new eras. A generation where you fan finds
fans of Amitabh Bachan and Kartik Aryan both. A generation where you can find
people believing in old-school love, arrange marriages, and people with
hookups, live-in, love marriages, and friends with benefits both.
People
of this generation are generally messed up in their thoughts deciding what kind
they belong to. Where they are interested in the poetries of Amitabh Bachan or
are interested in Kartik Aryan’s comedy. Whether they are interested in old-school
romance or are towards casual dating apps. Whether they want to live their
lives following the old era or they want to move on time and technology and
certain speed of this society and compete with this world.
If
we talk about some mental health after this generation, in a survey we have
found out that this generation is more stressed out, stressed about money,
stressed about their family and relationships, stressed about their career,
they are more unhappy and depressed about things and half of the population is
suffering through these mental issues and also many types of panic attacks and
anxiety issues, anger issues, trust issues, jealously among people, etc.
Though
this generation has brought so much augmentation towards industrialization and
development in technology and science but has lagged behind a very important
part of their lives and that is their culture. Compared to the previous
generation this generation may be looked updated and very much into their culture
in their online lifestyle but may not be as active in their culture in real
life as much they show in their social accounts. As it is said there is a huge
difference between showing something that they should do and what they are
doing.
So
as there are many augmentation, development and up gradation in people of this
generation there are many drawbacks also with this generation. People must take
care of their culture and give it importance as much as they are giving to the development
of technology and industrialization as it is a really big part of our society
and we should always preserve what our elders have given to us.
Millennials
were the ones before Gen Z and Generation Alpha are going to be the next
generation after Gen Z with better technology and other also with many other
circumstances than Gen Z.
Though
it’s human beings after all and we can’t predict human nature beforehand and
also not in a particular.
