10 Things Gen Z is Doing Differently Than Previous Generations

Generation Z is now entering adulthood and attempting to impress their worldview on others. Here are ten things they are focusing on that are much different than previous generations. 

1. Mental Health

In past generations, it was considered taboo for someone to seek mental help. That person would hesitate to seek help in order not to get judged as weak, but this is not the case anymore as Gen Z are full advocates of mental health help-seeking and would not concede taking mental health lightly.

2. Respecting Boundaries

Back in the day, multitudes were so eager to nag into others' personal lives that they would cross the line of self-space and make them feel uncomfortable, and if they complained, they would contemplate it rude. It's a different story now, as you cannot cross the limit and have to respect every individual's boundaries. 

3. Digital Activism

Protests and riots were only regarded as influential by big authorities, and Social media was not so good at it before. At present, with the help of digital gurus of this age, no one can underestimate the power of social media activism as big authorities get highly pressurized by social media audiences, and Gen Z interact and engage in every step.

4. Mutual Respect

Gone are the days when respect was only a treasure for the dominant one with power, and now the respect and consent of each party is a big deal and, if violated, would lead to terrible consequences because Gen Z has voiced against such unacceptable things and made it clear and concise that no one owes you anything to make them feel less important or less respected.

5. Go Over Board With Grind

Zoomers and the Boomers have distinctive opinions on goals, work, and life. The older generation views people as hardworking and praises them greatly if they do 9-5 or more with no time for personal life and sleepless nights. On the other hand, Gen Z is highly against it and pushes the work-life balance narrative in every industry as they prioritize health. 

6. New Career Pathways

In the traditional sense, if someone was opting for doctor, lawyer, or other standard career pathways, they were regarded as the most respectable and successful person, and there was no room for other professions; gen z is changing the mindset of people that there are other fields that a person can work in and become highly successful alongside being passionate and professional. 

7. Significance of Sunscreen

Gen Z promotes good mental and physical health and greatly emphasizes skin health. Gen Z suggests using SPF in every skin product to protect the skin from the sun's harmful radiation. Some people indicate that this is too much, but the reality of global warming is in front of everyone. It's a choice to make to save your life.

8. Saving Planet

Numerous people from earlier generations scrutinized the centennials as spoiled and lazy, but that's not the case. Gen Z knows how to use knowledge correctly and is the big voice for climate change that's happening rapidly, taking part in campaigns that would help the earth in any way possible, whether by making recycling a norm or educating other people about it. 

9. Fact Check First

In the era of the digital world, multiple new news on sensitive topics surface around with no evidence, and people believe them without thinking twice; the new digital experts are against it and would fact-check everything and even provide evidence so no doubts are left before communicating or posting something. 

10. Technology Updates

Back then, people preferred a steady life with little change. They prefer to keep their lifestyle the same according to their era, but Gen Z sets the standard. They are up to date with any new technology updates and do their best to remain in touch with the newest lifestyle, but don't rush things up as it could lead to distress.
