Gen Z

[Nix]

I can't help feeling as I read some of these posts about this Gen or that Gen how entitled and narrow the experiences are. You mean people of your age, your class, your social status, sharing your social media. Are your cohorts in Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Azerbaijan, Tibet, India so very like you? Same values?

Living in South Africa, I can agree very much about the differences between the same generations in different countries, even in middle to high class, we differ immensely from what I know about American or European everyday life, vocabulary, actions, and arguably the most important, values.

There's cultural differences ofcourse. But I do think that regardless of where you are you want to be able to be just you.

As a member of Gen Z (I'm 16) I don't think our generation is better (or worse) than other generations. While I don't necessarily share the political opinion of the majority of people here, I have to admit that Gen Z are more socially conscious and interested in politics than the earlier generations in general, and that's a good thing. However, Gen Z are often accused for being addicted to phones, which is true sometimes (for example I sit about 6-7 hours per day next to some kind of screen and I think it's too much).
As for ZooChat, it's great to have so many teenage zoo enthusiasts here. I hope that we aren't too annoying and most of us are mature enough to be regarded as knowledgeable users of this site by older members

Well said!
