Guadalupe Perez – Gen Z

I read the article ” 6 things to know about Gen Z, politics and 2020″, The first specific thing that stood out to me from my reading was that most of what it was saying was pretty much true for the most part. The second thing would have to be how they graphed their results. The last thing that popped out for me was how the main topics of discussion were numbered and underlined, I do not really see that much often so that stuck out for me. I would say to a good extent these portraits align with majority of Gen Z because I read some sentences and was like “lol that’s me” but I can not speak for anyone else. I would add that Gen Z is not really encouraged to vote until just recently. They got right that we are may not vote because we are not really taught the process of voting and may not be confident with it. They missed on explaining certain reason why Gen Z is the way they are, for example, the voting is not because we do not want to it is because some of us do not know or are not encouraged to do so. I have a friend who won’t vote because he does not like either party and speaking to him about how important it is to vote is quite useless because he is very stubborn. I would add that, how some of us are very naïve to voting because we do not really know much of it. After reading this piece I am feeling pensive because, how many more of my friends are not going out to vote because they do not think it is important? Also I am thinking that older people that are not Gen z who are reading this article might make their own interpretation of how every gen z youngster feels, thinks, or acts.
