Anupa Gulab – Gen Z

While reading the four articles, I learned a lot of new things about our generation, Gen Z. There are a few things that stood out to me from the articles, for example, “Generation Z represents the leading edge of the country’s changing racial and ethnic makeup.” (Kim Parker and Ruth Igielnik). Although I knew this already, the percentage make up is what shocked me. Even with a much smaller Hispanic, Black, Asian, and other racial make up this generation holds the spot for more racially and ethnically diverse. Another thing that stood out to me is that 38% of Gen Z are liberals and 18% are conservatives, however, for those registered to vote, only 30% of those are liberals and 35% are conservative. Lastly, a lot of Gen Z motives to vote is the fact that they feel like they do not have a choice, this is their only option for a better life in this country. According to the four articles, my self and my peers can definitely relate to the rest of our generation. I also agree with the general messages of those interviewed in the article by Kate Bubacz. I expected much less registered voters to be conservatives in this generation, so that left me pretty shocked. However, I still have a lot of faith in our generation knowing the majority are fighting for what is right.
