Generation Z And Millennials

Millennials range from 1980 to 1994 while Generation Z was born 1995 or after. Millennials are known as feeling entitled and lacking initiative while Generation Z is known for being global, social, and technological. Considering my personal experiences, I relate more to the Generation Z than the Millennials.

A Millennial is a person reaching adulthood around 2000. According to Simon Sinek in his interview with Tom Bilyeu when he answered the “infamous millennial question”, he describes Millennials predominantly as being entitled. Sinek claims that they are tough to manage, self-interested, unfocused, and lazy. He claims this is all due to parenting, technology, impatience, and the environment.

I am also guilty of having higher standards when it comes to advancements in technology than those of the Millennials. I was born into a generation overrun with technology and I, too, have high standards for technology. Generation Z is big on individuality and feeling like they do not need anyone around them.
