Generation Z

What We Bring to the World  

“Deep under our feet the Earth holds its molten breath, while the bones of countless generations watch us and wait.”

—Isaac Marion

        Time betters the shortcomings of the past. As a race, the only goals we can strive for are the ones we dream, not the ones we cannot fathom. As humans, our occupations have primarily been the same, movement, food, socialization, but with time these tasks have, for the most part, become more comfortable. Time has given us the liberty to advance these occupations' insight into making life simple. Generation after generation have been tasked with the mission of progressing this need for simplicity, that we so desperately desire. In so doing, humanity has coined eras with respective characteristics relating to the role they played in this mission. Though this generation has not accomplished much in comparison to others, it does not speak for what we have offered. This generation plagued with the fad of social media tends to focus on the more trivial things in life. Though often perceived as a negative trait, it can also be perceived in a positive light. The fact that our generation finds the need to share even the mundane, everyday moments in their lives shows a sense of appreciation, appreciation for life in general. Done in excess can prove to be addictive. Even though we find ourselves infested with, taken from the perspective of older generations can show that no part of life is unimportant, from thoughts, ideas, personal moments, no matter how small. Our aspiration to not care what others think is also rooted in social media, and that taken in moderation pushes the message to be yourself. This generation has proven to be one of expression and doing so unapologetically. Even as we still have decades of information to learn and grow, we also have a lesson or two to teach the world.
