IDEOLOGY
Millennial's Ideology
In order to understand this generation, we have to remember that 'Millennial' refers to those who were born between 1981-1996. They were the first generation that challenged the system. In their teen days, they demonstrated to be much more liberal than the generations before them. It was the first one to really accept and encourage people to be themselves. Furthermore, in their political thinking, they leaned more towards liberal ideologies. Millennials formed their personality without the influence of technology.
Generation-Z Ideology
This generation refers to those who were born between 1996-2010. It is mostly influenced by technology due to the development of it through those years. They have been exposed to technology when they were still creating their own personality and ideas. The media talks about this generation as 'the lost generation' and others refer to them as 'the most prepared'. Technology has created capable and un-capable people. Individuals have everything they need to know on the internet, so why should they think or even work in order to learn? This generation is also very open-minded, they usually accept everything that doesn't bother them, they accept you as you are, as long as you respect them.
INTERVIEW
Interview with Sociologist - Alejandro Navas García
How do you perceive "Millennials"?
"There are 2 minorities: Young people who managed to do everything that an adult used to do, they are culturally rich. In the other hand, we see young people that take life for granted, they don't work, they don't study and neither seek for working in the future. Society lies between these 2 groups".
