题目内容:
Born in 1995 or later, a lot of Gen Z-ers are entering into adulthood and will soon join the workforce. Having grown up with the Internet, they are said to be “tech-savvy” and mad about social media.
They live in a more tolerant ear when gay marriage is being legalized in more and more societies. But they’ve also witnessed the rise of global terrorism.
Most people will agree that the single biggest difference between Gen Z and other generations is how connected they are. This is a group of people who were hooked up to social media as soon as they were born. Social media have changed the way Gen Z-ers interact with each other and how they get and process information. “We are the first true digital natives,” Hannah Payne, an 18-year-old UCLA student and lifestyle blogger, was quoted by The New York Times as saying. “I can almost at the same instant create a document, edit it, post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone, all fro the user-friendly interface of my iPhone.”
“Gen Z takes in information instantaneously,” she added, “and loses interest just as fast.”
Gen Z-ers may have a shorter attention span than a goldfish, but they are conscientious(认真尽责的)and civic-minded(有公德心的). They are entered their adulthood, accompanied by the economic downturn and global terrorism and they have their eyes open from the very beginning.
The Guardian also notes that young people in the UK are becoming more active in politics. According to a British Election Study that is cited by the newspaper, an estimated 58 percent of 18-to-24-year-old voted in the 2015 general election in the UK, a significant jump from the 38 percent turnout among the same age group in 2005.
Voting is just one way of making one’s voice heard. The European Commission has found that “young people regard voting as one option among many, and they show their political engagement in many different, issue-specific ways that can potentially influence policies more directly”.
