Gen Z

The first thing that stood out to me from my reading was that social media has become the new source of news for Gen Z.  The reason that stood out to me Is that it’s true and it seems so crazy because we used to watch this news channels to receive news but now we have all these new pages on Instagram or Snapchat and Twitter that allows us to keep up with the news. it’s become more convenient for us because it’s not something we have to watch at a certain time and with it being on social media we can see it whenever. the second thing that stood out to me was that 50% of the votes from gen Z will be going to Biden. I thought this was really cool to see because all I’ve been seeing around the news and social media is that there is a record-breaking number of people coming down to vote. that just makes me feel happy because I feel like people have realized that their vote matters and that Trump isn’t the best president and an order for him to not be re-elected they have to go in and vote. the very thing that stood out to me was that registered voters are more likely to support the police and the reason this going out to me was that I never really thought about it like that but thinking about it does make sense because the older people from what I’ve seen do support the police and the younger people from gen Z obviously protest against police brutality and think that they should be defunded so I thought that was really interesting. I think the way that they portrayed gen Z alliance with me and how I am is very similar. I’m an outspoken person and I do not stay quiet if I see something happening is wrong I’m also not one to stay quiet if I don’t like something that’s happening to me. I also don’t believe a lot of the things that my parents believed in which is a whole different generation for mine, I’m way more open-minded than my parents would ever be and I’m very open to new things and trying new things. one thing I’d like to add is that we are so brave for speaking up in fighting for what we believe in. it takes a lot of Courage for people especially the people that have parents with strong and different beliefs.
