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

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?

  • Knowing how society operates, they'll probably raise the Age of Consent to 30; yet still allow Little Girls to dress, and act, like Ladies of the Night.

  • Freedom of Expression and Belief:
    • The way people dress is often a way of expressing their identity, culture, religion, or personal beliefs.
    • International human rights law protects freedom of expression and the right to manifest one's religion or beliefs.
    • This includes the freedom to choose what to wear, or not wear, without coercion. 
  • There are, of course, cultural norms in specific countries which must be respected.

    When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
