What matters to Generation Z? What does life hold for Generation Alpha? - Misc and chat

mrs.snooks

So.

We had a discussion last night in our house: my husband, myself and my 16 year old daughter.

It was on the back of one of the discussions on here about cultural norms.

It struck me that I didn't really know how life was viewed by folk: Generation Z from 1995 to 2009

You know I thought I knew. I thought it would be Climate Change, WW3. That sort of thing. But I wonder if that is infact just what is important to me. Being in my 50s, I am moulded by my youth experiences and how life has changed around me: feminism, 1980s poverty, Gen X culture. Thinking that we were going to change the world for the better. My parents grew up during the 60s. My grandparents through the War - and we didn't need a number to know which one we were talking about. 

I misquoted There is no such thing as society

It was a long discussion. And I wanted to put it out there. What matters to Generation Z? What does life hold for Generation Alpha?

My daughter's answer, was totally unexpected. She said financial security (I paraphrase). I know that she is only n=1, but I wonder what you think the answer to this question is?

  • I'm part of Gen Z and the thing that worries me is people and they're lack of care and compassion for societies most vulnerable issues. I honestly don't blame the government I blame the people of this country and around the world who are the ones that allow the government to screw us over whilst claiming they don't agree with it yet they do nothing to stop it and even fuel it by continuing to vote for them!! (Cough ahem! 'labour party'). I rest my case! At least I didn't vote for a party that wants to take money from disabled people. My conscience is clear!
