Aamina Mohammed-Gen Z

One of the biggest things that stood out from the readings is that Gen Z is very diverse. According to “On the Cusp of Adulthood and Facing an Uncertain Future: What We Know About Gen Z So Far,” shows statistics over time and how in the new generation, there’s less white people than they had in millennial. We have more Hispanics and Asians than before. “Generation Z represents the leading edge of the country’s changing racial and ethnic makeup. A bare majority (52%) are non-Hispanic white – significantly smaller than the share of Millennials who were non-Hispanic white in 2002 (61%)” This is a significant change. It’s only Gen Z that were able to be more diverse than any other Generations. The second thing that stood out the most is that we are politically active. We have to deal with Silents and Baby Boomer’s consequence of destroying the earth by consuming things. It is due to human actives that there’s a significant change in the climate. We are also Pro Protest, fighting for fundamental human rights. “With the widespread uprising against police brutality, Gen Z is more supportive of protests and protesters, while registered voters are more likely to support the police” (6 Things know about Gen Z politics, and 2020). Even though most of the Gen z are not able to vote, our beliefs differentiate from people who can vote, which becomes a significant disadvantage to us because we cannot vote. But during the 2020 election, More teenagers voted than back in the 2016 election, which shows we are doing whatever we can to get justice for what we believe in. One of the big things that make Gen Z get involved and stay active is social media, these platforms are beneficial to spread information and messages across, and they are a big part of Gen Z’s lives.

As part of Gen Z, I am very active when it comes to politics. It’s essential to keep up with what’s happening to people around us. Getting involved and trying to make changes is one of my biggest goals in life. Something that America is lacking is human rights. We are more woke and less conservative. I believe our generation can make a significant change and go on the correct path instead of ruin lives like the previous generations. The Texts that I read are very much accurate because it’s how we precisely feel. We are leaning more toward the right things. If you’re a Gen Z and support trump, you’re an embarrassment.
