I always see mixed opinions about them. Some say they're hard workers who will save their country while others will say the opposite and say that they're lazy, entitled, and will be the death of their countries. Your opinion?
I don't feel any type of way, except for the fact that TikTok has really fucked with a big portion of the zoomers' attention spans and they will probably struggle academically because of it. I find it a bit concerning but I'm okay with them as a generation, they weren't the ones who developed the app after all.
They're reacting to the world 'unfiltered' by the 'before times'. A lot of people have got a 'favourite' era that they settle into and sort of stay there, but Gen Z have only got 'now'. If we old'uns understood everything else necessary to make it in the world as a responsible, successful adult, then the perspective of Gen Z would still represent a missing puzzle piece. There's a sort of purity about it. The things they're angry about and their perspectives are like a litmus test for the world's present-day issues and culture. Their preferences are a product of what today's world has to offer - not yesterday's. When cultural change is happening so fast, I think it's really important to be watching them and taking notes, if we're to understand the world as it is.
The Gen Z'ers I know are frequently hard working and quite intelligent. There's obviously going to be stupid people in every generation but I think it's silly to say that this particular generation is the worst. People who say that this generation is weak are ones who have not properly looked at history. Especially those who say men of this time are weak - stupidest thing a person can say. Social constructs change all the time, and they're changing faster with the Internet. One should expect a change of roles concerning gender, not be against it.
