1st Gen Z Article Discussion

group 6 we chose mental health

Group 1.

Our group chose a quote from Bryan Driscoll. He stated, "crisis for these generations isn't about buying a sports car or questioning life choices--- it's about mere survival." This resonates with our group the most because of the inflation crisis with housing, goods, and services. On top of the lack of job opportunities.

Group 6 we said samita Malik because it it talks about financial stress and the fact that gen z thinks that we are not being heard

Group 1.

Our group would say that Integrity Resource Management fails to recognize the bigger problems that Gen Z faces. Many people in our generation are considerably close with others, and mainly the only way most people in our generation are able to get jobs is because of those connections

group 6 we think that the majority of the stress comes from finances " since the average cost of living has risen 28.3% in the last decade"

Finances

"In the survey, 30 Percent of Gen Z said financial issues were their primary source of stress."

""Because of lack of housing affordability, student loans, and higher prices on many other goods and services, Gen Z and millennials are feeling [left] behind."" This can cause a lot of stress and make it difficult to achieve many other goals, or even the ones they've fallen behind on.

The article mainly focuses on financial health, instead of mental health which is not spoken about here in the article.

Possible wars, gun violence, drugs, fake job crisis.

"The mid life crisis for these generations isn't about buying a sports car or questioning life choices- it's about mere survival." -Discroll. We chose this quote because it's all our generation grew up with, high prices and trying to get somewhere.

Samita Malik, because the amount of bad advice on social media, along with the lack of control we have over our own finances is really focused on within the qoute.

Capitalism, we have the internet and online shopping. We are told to spend our money as soon as we get it by different websites like; the TikTok shop, Amazon, shien, ect....

"...lack of housing affordability, student loans, and higher prices on many other goods and services..." The price for a mortgage payment of a 4 bed house is the same as rent for a 2 bed.

The main cause of stress for Gen Z is financial problems. "since the average cost of living grew by 28.3 percent in the last decade."
