My Observations on Gen Z
I am a millennial guy, and during my college days, I thought the next generation would be much more liberal in terms of women's sexuality and ethnicity. I still find that people are becoming more orthodox in terms of ethnicity. Those who claim to be liberal are nothing but wannabe Western people to some extent.
Gen Z are also religious and less influenced by communism than millennials, but they also pretend to be atheists with naive knowledge of spirituality, like that of communists.
Women are still objectified, and virginity is still a big deal.
And those women who claim to be feminists are often just angry at society, venting their frustration without a profound understanding of Eastern culture or a genuine intention to modernize traditional values while preserving their essence.
This generation also reminds me of "Manapurush Ko Sangat" by Bhairav Aryal, where a man boasts endlessly about the USA. The same mindset still exists today—believing that everything in Nepal is worthless.
One good thing is that they are less influenced by traditional parties, but they fail to understand the real meaning of democracy, stability, geopolitics, and have low historical knowledge. Furthermore, their craze for the new political power is nothing but a continuation of what has been going on in this country for years—the usual displacement of power without sorting out the real issues.
In the workplace, they are less patient and a bit pretentious about being well-informed on every matter. One prime reason is their accessibility to foreign countries after high school and their involvement in social media, which was not as common in those days as it is nowadays.
Nevertheless just saw a report that Nepalese Genz are the most optimistic in the world regarding their . I hope that becomes a reality not just a false hope like in the past.
