20 most interesting facts about International Youth Day
The current generation is called Generation Z. These are people who, from childhood, almost intuitively know how to navigate the Internet and use various gadgets. Doctors say that such adolescents cannot concentrate on one subject for a long time. The average time they are able to concentrate is about 8 seconds.
- It is impossible to form stable preferences in them, because trends on the Internet change so quickly that there is no long-term fashion and cannot be.
- This also applies to their musical preferences. It used to be that rockers competed with those who listened to pop music, and underground lovers stood out in a special caste. Now generation Z listens to everything, because when there is such a choice - why limit yourself?
- Finally, psychologists say that the generational conflict is getting smoother. The fact is that parents try to build partnerships with their children, therefore, in general, their psychological background can be called successful.
- Moreover, adults are now able to recognize the fact that children can surpass them in something and teach them something new.
- Psychologists have repeatedly conducted experiments where they studied the addictions of young people. It turned out that most of all they do not want to be alone, so gadgets for them are an extremely necessary element of communication.
- Modern schoolchildren have stopped throwing notes during the lesson. To do this, they now have phones and instant messengers.
- Many schools that adhere to old traditions forbid the use of telephones. However, studies have shown that in fact, they do not interfere very much, because teenagers still prefer to study, and they will surf the Internet during recess.
- On Youth and Students Day, many will not be able to say whose fans they are. This previous generation gathered in circles and organizations that could travel around cities for years to find their favorite artists. Now the currents are changing so quickly that such phenomena do not arise.
- However, it would be wrong to say that fashion has completely disappeared. Nowadays teenagers and students are carried away by tattoos, piercings and hippie clothes. Agree that this style will probably last forever.
- Television is dying. Various programs are watched only by the older generation, but young people have gone to computers and online broadcasting, social networks and channels such as Youtube are flourishing.
- If until recently Britney Spears and Justin Bieber were idols of youth, now they have long passed into the category of old people, and modern teenagers have heard little about them.
- Do you know which social network is the most popular now? Many will recklessly say that this is Vkontakte or Facebook. In fact, schoolchildren and students go there a couple of times a day, but they look at Instagram regularly.
- Those who study Instagram say that protruding lips and sausage legs have long been out of trend. Now the most popular shots are light nudity. This is not surprising, because sex, sleep and food are our instincts.
- For middle-aged people, some events seem bright and happened very recently. But modern adolescents, for example, not only do not remember the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, but may not know anything about it at all.
- Generation Z don't see themselves as rebels. Instead of overtly resisting parents and teachers, they will choose quieter forms of resistance. For them, oddly enough, inner peace is a very important factor that they try to maintain.
- At the same time, young people now take a balanced approach to marriage and the birth of children. The main thing is that they are in no hurry and postpone such actions for 25-28 years.
- This is due to the fact that their main goal in life is to be happy. And they try to achieve this both in their careers and in the family.Moreover, happiness will not be measured by success at work or status. They are guided by the fact that life should be interesting, varied and filled with travel. Social norms practically do not prevail over them.
- These principles also determine the choice of their work. These are not the people who are ready to work hard for years for a happy old age. They value the free time and pleasure they get from their activities.
- Nobody wants to force themselves with a tyrant boss. It is much easier for them, like no one else, to leave the hateful position.
- Today's youth does not seek to solve global problems and build peace in the world. For them, their own harmony is also important for those who enter the inner circle.
- However, the mind is back in vogue. Therefore, they pay great attention to their education. Among other things, they are not opposed to doing their studies in their free time.
