The Good and the Bad: What can the future media provide to the next generation?
Tumblr media
An American Singer-Songwriter, Jim Morrison once said “The power of media, controls the minds” 
The concept of media has evolved throughout the years. Human progress continues to increase and considering everyone's being innovative in which society has adopted in such a way. Media has evolved in ways that improve people’s daily lives. It has made communication much easier and faster. Media simply becomes a powerful tool that is used by individuals. In the present years, people always depend on media and human rationale. View it in a way that humans tend to think and develop ways on how to discharge tasks and workload and basically make the daily activities easy. According to Baumeister and Leary (1995), the “belongingness hypothesis” states that people have a basic psychological need to feel closely connected to others and that caring, affectionate bonds from close relationships are a major part of human behaviour. In line with this development, people regardless of their professions can now interact with one another and are no longer disconnected. As the media and communication devices also evolved and became pervasive, so did the information. Along with that, firstly, let us take a look at the negative impacts of media on the future generation. As virtual communication is widely accepted today, people are less likely to talk or meet each other in person and because of the comfort and internet offers, people tend to stay and work from home as it also maximized most individuals nowadays for leisure and entertainment purposes and due to that physical activity is reduced resulting in health issues such as obesity and heart disease. Another factor to consider is that the media brings not only improvement but also a threat to security. Your personal data and file must always be kept secure and safe but due to the media, anyone can now easily access it with just one click. Various forms of viruses and malware are released almost every day and attackers or hackers are silently gathering your information to use it to blackmail people. On the contrary, the media has its positive effects as well. It improved the access to education in which it implements educational enhancement such as distance learning, online tutorial, and interactive media. Furthermore, it gives an opportunity to people to act on injustices as it brings social issues to life that remain unknown to people.
Tumblr media
As today, we gen z were active to any social media so it’s obvious that it’ll be more intense to the next-gen or the future by being able to communicate instantly not only with friends in their local area but also those all over the world, online teens can boost friendships and strengthen the lines of communication. They can even make new friends from diverse countries and cultures, increasing their cultural awareness. Google will be able to search all of the social media's material, including individual postings. Social media networks will grow increasingly popular for shopping. As wearable technology grows more common, creating and sharing media will become easier. Businesses will become more skilled at adopting this strategy. The use of social media on a worldwide platform is fast increasing. According to Nielsen, roughly four out of every five active Internet users now use social media sites or blogs. Furthermore, in a snapshot of ten major global economies, social networks and blogs reach more than three-quarters of Internet users. The future of digital media will evolve as new tools emerge, consumers make new demands, and the quality and accessibility of the technologies improve. The rise of mobile video, VR or virtual reality, AR or augmented reality, and the more refined use of data analytics will all influence the future of digital media. Social media will affect future generations tremendously. There will be no end to the innovation of social media, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing if we learn to use social media responsibly. Social media has a big impact on people nowadays and for obvious reasons, and I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon. People in the future are most likely still going to be looking at their phones scrolling on all their favorite social media platforms as if their phones are surgically attached to their hands. The more time spent on social media the more positive and negative things can lead to cyberbullying, social anxiety, depression, and exposure to content that is not age-appropriate, and some advantages also.
Tumblr media
The evolution of technology has served as an extended hand in our lives from time to time. As this evolves, the efficacy of service also rises. Since this evolution will create a noticeable development in making itself for its future appearance as media, it will provide more possible performance that can be done online, and provide more platforms that will serve and give space for the needs of the next generation. For example, the outbreak of coronavirus in the year 2020 has let the world be summoned for the global Pandemic. This outbreak has brought impact to different fields; education, society, politics, and economy, which has announced for different implementations such as, online learning to continue the education of every learner, online meeting/work for office workers, online shop for business entrepreneurs, social media apps for online payment, connection with relatives and friends. Since the outbreak of this infectious virus made us live under strict quarantines, the media has saved our lives. These scenarios under pandemic have made us engage on online platforms and have allowed the media to show what it can provide. These happenings will let us look forward to how far the media can provide us service in the future. Thus, the power of media shouldn’t be discriminated against because as this evolves, more benefits will be given to the users which is a good way. However, as almost everything can be done online soon, it will also have a downside which may affect our health. If our education and work soon will continue to happen online, a number of people will have eye problems due to facing gadgets for long hours, productivity will be reduced, making them lack energy, and the performance of a person will be affected as they will be dependent on technology. Health issues will arise. As everything can be visible then on media, a lot of people may experience being stressed mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Therefore, in looking forward to what the future Media will provide for the next generation, it is best to monitor and set a limit to refrain from all the downsides of things that we think are an advantage.
Tumblr media
Communication has changed exponentially over the years, and technology has played a significant role in this situation. The power of social media is undeniably incredible. Social media has greatly aided the community and almost every individual. The media in this age aided not only the working class but also the students. During the worldwide pandemic, the media substantially aided the people, not only in terms of disseminating information and news via the internet, but also in assisting people to develop online enterprises that enabled entrepreneurs to provide money for their daily necessities. It has also assisted students in continuing their education despite being unable to attend school. The media assisted in educating young people during the epidemic, and finally, the young generation, or gen Z, became more aware of sociological and political issues in our country, allowing them to become more media literate individuals. As it has evolved, the power that it has attained has benefited the people time and again, but despite these positive aspects, there is still what we call the dark side of media. Despite the fact that social media has aided a large number of people, this does not mean that it has not harmed others.Abusers, such as those who publish malicious comments, photographs, and videos to fellow citizens, have thrived on social media. And it is because of these negative aspects that people suffer from mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. Screen time has also increased, which might lead to eye problems. As a result, the future of social media for the next generation is that it will continue to evolve as it has in the past, and its powers and scope will expand. The media for the next generation will have a lot of noteworthy material that will aid future generations in terms of education as well as the dissemination of knowledge and propaganda that helps the people and its community. As previously stated, the media has a dark side, and this aspect of social media will evolve in the future, affecting the psychological well-being of future generations. Technology will soon become more accessible and advanced, which may strengthen its protection and security against the negative side or aspect of media via online.

Copy Right and Intellectual Property: How do I protect it as a Young Individual?
Tumblr media
Jim Oberweis, a former member of the Illinois State Senate representing the 25th district, stated, “ I am a strong believer that intellectual property rights need to be protected”.
The power of the mind is magnificent since it is one of the most powerful and helpful abilities that every human being possesses. The brain is the determining factor in who and what you are, as well as the key to success. Many things can be created by combining the power of the mind with an individual's imaginative state. Creativity is defined as the ability to conceive the possibility of an idea becoming a reality. Creativity is determined by your skills, competencies, and abilities. The creations of the mind such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names, and images used in commerce are called Intellectual Property. (World Intellectual Property Organization) In general, intellectual property refers to any work made by the human intellect. Intellectual property rights are granted in order to protect against any type of copyright infringement. Authors of artistic and literary works have the right to preserve their work under copyright law for a minimum of 50 years after the death of the author. The copyright law's objective is to reward the work of those who invented these inventions, as well as to encourage individuals to create new, unique works that benefit not only themselves, but also community members who are interested in their line of work. As young people, we are constantly reminded and encouraged to avoid any act of copyright infringement in order to improve our ability to create intellectual works, particularly literary works in academic settings such as essays and poems. Copyright infringement is common, especially since intellectual works are widely disseminated over the internet in which a lot of individuals can access, see, and read.
Nowadays, young individuals mostly engage in the field of research, we search to back up our arguments in debates, for our research project, tasks and do’s, that has something to do with our school, or to educate someone. As we search to support our arguments, almost all the articles from reliable sources are protected by copyright law to prevent the work from being stolen. In order for us to protect this, and prevent ourselves not to go against the law, giving proper credits and putting this on our reference would help the article, source, or work to be protected.
How do I give proper copyright credit?
- Citing sources is one of the ways to give credit to the author and their work. This is to give credit to the original work of an author, promote scholarly writing, and will probably help that target audience in identifying the source. There are many style guides in citing sources, but APA and MLA Format is the most followed in giving credits. This can be done by giving credits in the form of, In-Text Citation and Reference Citation.
According to MVOrganizing, There is also another way in giving copyright credit, you can do this by:
1. First, to look for the author and copyright information
2. Write the title of the author’s work
3. Put “Copyright” or a copyright symbol beside the title
4. And write the year the work was copyrighted.
(© 2021 MVOrganizing. All rights reserved.)
These ways of giving copyright credit would protect the work of an author. However, living in a world where several youths don’t have any access to develop their knowledge in giving proper credits is also a saddening truth. If copy-pasting continues to rise for those who lack knowledge on how to give credits, and if stealing someone’s work is still present, then they also stole the hard work of the author in making his/her work. They stole the recognition of the author and miss the opportunity to develop and showcase their ability to make their own work.
Tumblr media
The Copyright Law defines a copyright work as a "production in which thoughts or sentiments are expressed in a creative way and which falls within the literary, scientific, artistic or musical domain". Copyrights have as its aim the development of culture and the protection of copyright works such as music, paintings, novels, films and computer programs. So for that, in IP or what you called Intellectual Property it categorized representation of intangible things such as copyrights, patents, trademarks, unique concepts, and ideas. According to the rule of Intellectual Property, these intangible services should receive same legal protection just as the tangible property. In brief, it refers to the mere ownership of one’s ideas. Also to protect this kind of issue as a young individual, you’ll have to do proper research to ensure that your idea is solely and uniquely yours. For having 100% surety in this regard, conduct trademark, and patent searches and find out if somebody else is already safeguarding them or you must record the progress made at regular intervals. Everything from the conception of your idea, the number of meetings conducted, when they were conducted, to the names of persons who were a part of those events, needs to be maintained. If you maintain an accurate copy of these events, this will work as a sound evidence giving you the ownership of your product or idea. Copy right and intellectual property covers any original ideas, designs, discoveries, inventions and creative work produced by an individual or group. It wasn't actually a big deal to protect IP in the past base on the source and the majority of the professional. However, with information more accessible and easier to distribute today due to technology, safeguarding your creations and works from infringers, copycats, and thieves has become vital to any business.
Tumblr media
Copyright infringement has been one of the highest and common crimes that most people do, especially when you are in the Showbiz, Fashion, and Art Industry. However, this crime must be put to stop and it should be done now.
Over the years, The issue about intellectual property has gotten serious and worse. We have noticed that a bunch of people are copying someone’s idea and no matter how you explain that what they’ve committed is immoral there are still existing people out there who keep on insisting that they haven’t done anything wrong. But let us answer this question, “How do I protect my Copyright and Intellectual property as a Young Individual?” There are actually a lot of ways to protect your intellectual property but based on my experience, the best thing I do is to keep my work private, show it if necessary, and lastly know your rights. The scary thing when you post your works online is that people can easily save your work and claim it as their own work. Technology is now the foundation to any society in the world, the files, video, books, pictures, etc should be protected however some countries that have fallen behind to the development of technology and intellectual property can steal digital products easily and produce and sell it on their own at a cheaper price. And if this scenario happens on a large scale basis, it will affect the efforts of the people behind that digital product and most especially the economic development of the country. As a Young Individual, we should be open or be knowledgeable on protecting our intellectual property, because it's ours. Why would you allow someone to give and receive credits from the people, knowing that it is you who poured your blood, sweat, and tears to finish that masterpiece. People should stop copying and getting someone’s idea and focus on thinking of their own.

Unfolding the Bitter Truth: The Dark Side of Media and Technology
Tumblr media
Nicola Formichetti, a fashion director and editor once said that “The dark side of media is that, within seconds, anything can be blown out of proportion and taken out of the concept. And it’s very difficult not to get swept up in it all.”
We live in a century where many of us are engaged in media and technology and we will be remembered for the fast-paced technology development. Over the years, we have learned and witnessed that technology advancement today took place in our life. It created a huge impact on our quality of life, in a way that it made things easier and simple. However, it has its adverse effects. Research has mostly concentrated on the "bright side" of media and technology, aiming to understand and support in leveraging the multiple possibilities afforded by its usage. As the main channel of communication for a world is an inseparable duo of media and technology, it also has its dark side. The current worldwide misinformation and surrounding "information glut" (Postman, 1995). These days, people are more open to this discussion yet they rarely understand the real effect of the dark side of the media. For instance, the media's portrayal of the perfect body has resulted in body shaming, which then leads to an increase in eating disorder problems in society and an increase in the amount of cosmetic operations that are unusually interfering in an attempt to achieve a flawless appearance through the use of illusory filters. But despite doing all these physical changes, people still have something to say. The idea that others approve of us in some way, feels good. For a reason that we all need positive encouragement, but unfortunately, that’s not the thing all the time. There are people out there who are just not happy about anything that others do with their lives, that’s why they always criticize them. But on top of that, we just have to always keep in mind that we cannot please everyone. You just have to do your own thing and leave the negativity behind.
Tumblr media
As we focus to look at the bright side of media, we often say that its existence has leveled up base on the usage and advantage of today’s media. However, not to generalize all contents posted on media, some of them are filtered out making it look believable. Indeed, not all that we see on media are true, and other people get blinded by the fake lifestyles of others and false information. The Media and Technology nowadays have made our lives easier. We get to inspired by others, appreciate what’s good in our eyes, are easy to receive information, and check on other resources. Although, the media hid its darkness. Talking about disseminating news and information, the media or even the news industry can be controlled by wealthy people making media sometimes get biased by just being paid. As a result, some news showed on media are flawed. There will always be something hidden behind on news just to cover up the evilness of one person behind the issue, or to make someone evil in the eyes of citizens. Media can have its favoritism to maintain the image and reputation of its industry. These kinds of issues have brought doubt throughout the economy. Not only do the media in the news industry and station cover their flaws and faults, but social media hid its gloomy side too. There’s nowhere you’re safe in media.
Tumblr media
When it comes to media it is not all about fun and entertaining, but It is becoming increasingly clear that social media carries significant threats to individuals, communities, businesses, and even society as a whole. Cyberbullying, addictive use, trolling, online witch hunts, fake news, and privacy violation are all examples of the "evil side" of social media. Even nowadays multiple studies have found a strong link between heavy social media and an increased risk for depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm, and even suicidal thoughts. Social media may promote negative experiences such as feelings of weakness in your life or looks. The negative energy released by social media's false beliefs and demands is what makes people unhappy. The dangers of social media and unrealistic viewpoints are important since they affect the majority of society today. If you already watched the movie “hush”, the girl who used the dating app may interrupt your privacy in ways you have never experienced before. Children are becoming a target for sexual predators and hackers as a result of their oversharing on social media. It also leads to cyberbullying, which has a huge impact on everyone. As a result, social media sharing, particularly by minors, must be closely supervised at all times. Even in games, it is designed to be addicting, social media is harmful. Also, it is usually referred to as toxic since platforms spread information and encourage people to engage with false news rather than fact-checked real news.
The Darkside of media these days made cyberbullies have used this to their advantage by threatening people anonymously by calling them names or by sometimes by telling them not to show up themselves or to die or kill themselves. We've all heard of bullies and bullying, but cyberbullying refers to bullies who exist in the digital world and bully others using technology. Devices such as laptops, computers, and gadgets like cell phones, tablets, and pads can all benefit from the technology. Communication options such as social messaging applications and websites, chats, and text messages were also included. Cyberbullies pursue young kids online on various social media platforms, bullying them with inappropriate language, sexually explicit photographs, and videos, racist statements, and a variety of other approaches. Experts are concerned that the social media and text messaging that has become so common in teenage life are increasing anxiety and reducing self-esteem. According to the findings of the study, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all contributed to higher levels of depression, anxiety, negative body image, and loneliness.
Tumblr media
This generation of media might be defined as a tough moment to become a media and technical literal individual as our society advances. Because the scope of things that can be shared online has been expanded as a result of the advancement of internet-based media, the likelihood of fraud, false information, unlawful content, criminality, and other similar incidents has skyrocketed. For ages, the importance of news media in human society has been recognized. The media provides people with news and information that assists them in making educated decisions, establishing democratic controls overpowering, and rooting out corruption and mismanagement of public resources. People in this generation, in particular, have the ability to express themselves through social media platforms. The development of Internet access and mobile phones has brought the media's promise to the doorsteps of communities all over the world. We now have luxuries and conveniences that were unimaginable just a generation ago thanks to digital technology. It is safe to say that media-based technology has a lot of positive aspects, or what we might call the "bright side." As previously stated, while social media undoubtedly brings many benefits to its users' lives, its complexity implies that there may be more going on than appears on the surface. A growing body of research indicates that there are numerous potential "dark sides" to be aware of. The first step in addressing the dark side of social media is raising awareness. It is critical to be aware of the things that must be taken seriously when using social media.
It is necessary to be aware of and critical of the contents on social media in order to notice and support yourself when confronted with the dark side of social media. The solution isn't to completely avoid all forms of mass media or to embrace every aspect of it wholeheartedly. Rather, it must be thoroughly examined and evaluated.

“Delivering News in the Present Age”
Every information we get widens our knowledge. News plays a big important role in our lives as this raises awareness of what is happening in our surroundings and allows us to cope with what it is trying to convey. The evolution of technology and machines has help people from ages deliver and receive information from distant places. The type of news producers and givers, from newspapers, typewriters, printing express, and up to television, radios, internet, has widely disseminated numerous kinds of news. Even basic daily activities such as chatting, and meeting, can deliver news with the use of basic senses. The delivery of news can be done in many ways, thus, this present world of ours made it easier.
In this modern era, technology is widely used as it serves its purpose to make things easier and faster. The improvement of technology made it more accessible for the users to do their tasks and thus, it has received more appreciation and attention. As the availability of the Internet and Signal is more convenient nowadays, and as it accompanies the modern technologies, this helps to deliver and disseminate news to distant places. With the technology we have in this modern age, it has changed and improved how we communicate, learn, and stay informed about news and new issues, as well as how we express our opinions and sentiments. Regardless of changes in the method of making news or the business of journalism, the news quality that the media will share will not change. Although there are some factors to consider when looking for credible news on the internet, knowing and being media literate will help you find a reliable source. While having so much information at our fingertips is wonderful, it's important to double-check sources and not take headlines at face value. It is up to us to be the new media fact-checkers, using social media as our new news managers.
Tumblr media
In this day and age, social media has surpassed traditional news sources as the primary source of information. People have access to all of the information and news they require at the touch of a button, and the majority of people get their news information online, specifically through social media. As a result of easy access to new information on issues and events, people, particularly the younger generation, have become more politically conscious and active in human rights discussions. The Internet has enabled the formal and informal publication of news stories via mainstream media outlets, blogs, and other self-published news stories.
The modern age requires modern methods of delivering news information to the public, and as a result, technology has changed the way news is produced, delivered, and consumed all over the world. From being distributed through hard copy materials to changes in readership and access, digital platforms make journalism more vibrant while also making it more vulnerable. The Social Media Revolution altered traditional journalism's methods, and as a result, social media has become the most popular source of news information in the modern era.
Tumblr media
The Modern Era
Since Social Media has become the number 1 media and communication tool of people nowadays, the amount of false information that is spreading in social media right now is alarming. These Facebook pages and websites that imitate those legitimate websites or page has to stop. The people behind this false information and fake pages compete for attention with sensational headlines and ridiculous storylines that tend to catch the attention of readers without fact-checking or opening the article and knowing if this news circulating around is true. In fact, it is frustrating that false information is truly more likely to spread than the truth.
Tumblr media
News happens every minute, to the point that we can’t keep up about what to feel with this news. The sudden change of emotion we feel when we saw a piece of sad news after reading happy news. Having so much information at our fingertips is great, but we always have to keep in mind that checking sources and not be easily convinced by the headlines as truth is the best thing to do. With social media as our new way of being informed and delivered with information, it is our responsibility to fact check; it is the bare minimum we can do.
The Modern Era of delivering news is scary, considering that anyone can destroy your reputation by just posting something online that is not even true. News spreads like a wildfire. In any minute or second, the whole nation can know what a person did without fact-checking it. Social media has become part of our lives that it’s scaring some of us, due to the fact that these media tools can be used on various platforms, and mainly for bullying. Sharing memes, using the picture of someone without their consent, and just basically making fun of them and they tend to go beyond the belt and sometimes invalidate someone’s feelings. To say shortly, social media can help or damage someone’s personal life, career, and health.
Tumblr media
To sum up everything that has been stated, social media comes in a number of different forms than the old media. Mapping social media networks can help people better recognize ways people join groups and arrange themselves online. This present age has a lot of advantages as this age evolved way better than other ages, this made everything easier and possible with the availability and access of today. The present tool, social media, is a great way to stay alert and cope with new information as a daily messenger. However, aside from the advantages of social media as the present tool in delivering news, it can also bring a negative impact to the users. We can’t force others to stop producing false information that eventually led people to be tricked, but we can stay attentive. Therefore, it would be better if we’ll stick to registered and sources to prevent the spreading of false information. We have what we evolved today, we should maintain how to use social media as the right tool to deliver news, thus, it will make it more appealing to trust and encourage more to use it as a messenger.

“Media Evolution and the Changing World”
The world has already and continuously disseminating information about a certain topic from one place to another, using the existence and the availability of technology nowadays. The evolution of media has helped to acknowledge people from ages and up to the present, and thus, traditional media is still widely used in this modern world. Medias revolve around us as it makes us convey and receive information less than in a minute. In fact, we do it easier today. Not just that, this also allows people to let you experience things that were restricted the past few years. In this modern world, technology has to keep everything up to the next level, making it easier and faster to work with less effort. Thus, aside from the advanced technology that we have today, the traditional way of media has never been forgotten and still plays a big important role in our present, bringing benefits to everyone’s lives.
Tumblr media
The media widened the people's minds to think beyond their personal views. These media, specifically the internet-based website are embedded in the day-to-day lives of the people. Not just that, this also allows people to let you experience things that were restricted the past few years.
The old media is a more traditional style of communication through television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and books, while new media is interactive and user-generated. People usually used to write letters to communicate with people who lived far away and it normally takes several months for them to receive it. Things in the world are continually being upgraded as time passes, and one of these is the evolution of media. Empirically, new media makes everything easier for us, including the use of accessible media, yet it causes the majority of people to depend on it. There's nothing wrong with simplicity but the problem is the existence when individuals become overly reliant on it because people's behavior in the new media has led to the majority of them engaging in malevolent behavior and lies. Some of those posts may contain offensive images many of the users have become more cautious of one other's viewpoints and that made the traditional media feel better to communicate with people.
Tumblr media
The Internet has clearly impacted our lives to the point that it has changed a lot of things, like the way we interact with our family, friends, and others. Now, this makes everything convenient and accessible that it closed the gap between poor, middle, and high class. Let's not forget that evolution also impacted all levels of education by providing unbounded possibilities for learning. People can now use the web to make and share knowledge and develop new ways of teaching and learning that captivate and stimulate students’ imagination at any time, anywhere, using any devices. By connecting and empowering students and educators, we are able to speed up the economic processes and enhance the well-being of society throughout the world. The media evolution is changing the world, specifically our society.
The evolution of media doesn’t only help people to easily connect with each other but also helps the people to be updated and aware of the societal issues that are happening in the world. Social media is helping us to better respond to disasters, for this greatly influences the ability of the people to help individuals who are affected by natural catastrophes such as typhoons and earthquakes. With the help of these media platforms from people across the world are able to know the occurrence of political issues from other countries. Social media has become the gateway for society to change for it gives people an opportunity to recognize issues and become fully aware and responsible. Morever, this given platforms is helping us to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges, from human rights violations to climate change.
Tumblr media
We witnessed from the past generation how people are having a hard time talking about certain issues and due to the fact that they were forced to silent their mouths because if not a big consequence is waiting ahead of them. Whereas in this time and with the helpthese media tools, this allow people on understanding things more. Letting their minds grasp a piece of information. They are turning every platforms they can get into an educational platform that they were deprived of. Equally important to this statement is the the idea that this will help the future better and hopefully use this in a way that will not just benefit only themselves but also the people around them. We should always work together to make a worldwide learning society that will all help us in our coming future.
To sum up everything that has been stated, as the Media keeps evolving and revolves around us, this is to remind us to stay attentive and be aware of what is happening today. This is for us to hear and raise our voices as a response to the information we received, and to take actions that the world needs.

“On Becoming a Medium: Gen-Z Individuals as Modern Communicators”
Generation Z: The Generation that never sleeps.
The term “Gen- Z” refers to those people who are born between 1995 and 2012. They are the first generation who grown up with a smartphone, their life basically evolves on the internet; one of their basic needs. Wherever they go, they spend half of their day, scrolling through different social media platforms. According to Steenbergen, “Generation Z is the generation of instant gratification. They no longer have any patience. They are looking for an instant response to their question or complaints. All information should be available immediately.” Indeed, it is true. They prefer someone, to be frank, and straight to the point about what they were saying.
As this Generation witnessed the evolution of technology, their lives started to revolve around the advantages. Since then, it has helped the minds of the people as this develop their ability of processing information brought by the Media, which later allows them to respond expressively, and create an enhanced communication. This Generation is abundant in ideas and is mentally flexible as they saw how the changes in society made an impact on our modern world. As a result, this made Generation Z is more enhanced in communication as they speak with power and grew to become world changers.
The Generation-Z communication preference is different from the past ages. They are more inclined to communicate through online platforms like messenger, Instagram, Discord, Twitter, etc., as they prefer it to be convenient and they can reply to messages or emails when they feel like it. They also don’t have to worry about answering questions they are not comfortable with and be conscious of their body language and appearance.
Tumblr media
Generation Z is more racially and ethnically mixed than prior generations, and it embodies the nation's evolving racial and ethnic makeup. Gen Z is more likely too focused on advance like open to new ideas and new ways of doing things, some are quite well about what they want and are willing to work hard to achieve it suchlike teamwork oriented. They likely prefer to work independently and be evaluated on their personal merits rather than the merits of their team. Some of them think that generation z's competitive character is rooted in a strong need for recognition for their accomplishments, like they place a premium on clear goals and professional development.

Furthermore, this generation is believed a sensitive group of people, especially when it comes to social and political issues. They commit and comment to every article they see and that they don’t want to be silenced unless justice is prevailing and all the morally upright will be vindicated. They want their opinions and voice to be heard. People under this generation are politically aggressive; they are willing to fight for every right that a people were deprived of which is believed to result in the positive development of the society.
As Generation Z has the privileged of modern technology, they have been able to grasp faraway cultures, issues, and news quicker than any of the generations before them. As that being the case the members who are part of Generation Z tend to be more open-minded, liberal-leaning, and actively engaged in advocating for the fair and equal treatment of others. Generation Z has a very different opinion about gender norms than the older generation undoubtedly, this generation is far more open-minded and accepting when it comes to issues of gender and sexuality. They have a conviction that society should be more accepting of individuals who don’t define themselves in traditional norms for they believe gender binary is outdated. Mental Health is one of the issues that gen z’s are advocating. Even though this group is more open in talking about mental health issues the members of generation z are considered as the “loneliest generation”. For they are the first generation to be completely raised with the Internet and smartphones, these individuals are also more aware of societal issues which also can be a stressor that affects their mental health. But with the power of media within their fingertips, this generation has been able to widely spread awareness to the world. This generation has a great desire to have their opinions heard by the general public, and they have effectively touched some of the most sensitive issues that were never spoken by the previous generations.
