Survey: General ZERS wants safety above all. Will they exchange freedom for it?

Oh, when the children feel that they do not notice their mortality rate, they are easy for young people. Anyway, that was the case. But this has changed if a new research is believed. GENZ's youth is a mother and female chicken rather than a violent male chicken.

In fact, a new “Tsuinup Shot” survey reveals that the safety of these young people is “priority # 1”.

This discovery may please the nervous Nelly Mamas coast to the coast, but it may be a cause of worries. The famous proverb from Benjamin Franklin indicates the reason. “People who give up essential freedom to buy a little temporary safety,” they say, “there is no freedom or safety.”

Franklin warned that human instinct was to sacrifice freedom for safety, especially when he was in danger. So, when the fascinating Demagogu promises a bubble lap utopia, does ZZ (born between 1997 and 2012) zap our freedom?

Tape story

The above -mentioned research was conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles, and her colleagues, Dr. T. Wools. The result of the UCLA press has been combined.

“Safety” was a survey of the United States from the age of 1,644 to 24, the top goal of Generation Z. “Accept” and “good condition.” GEN Z's greatest goals may be the result of a crisis compound interest, such as reporting school shooting, increasing threats, financial uncertainty, and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. The survey results are in accordance with other recent studies, indicating that generated Z has prioritized mental and physical health.

In addition to the order of kindness, there are other good and probably surprising news from the research. For example, Dr. UHLS wrote in a previous focus group research with Los Angeles Tweens that most of them want to be “famous.” However, this priority was the second (13th) among the recent US cross -sectional groups.

In connection with this, “popular” was only 12th in the target list. And although the younger generation has a reputation for being a golden, “being rich” is ninth.

On the other hand, “It looks like my family and sticks to tradition” ranked 11th. This is deplorable -especially most families today are not so traditional.

This study was not surprising and discovered sexual gaps. Safety was the most priority overall, but boys were delayed that they had fun and kind, and ranked third. The girl first ranked in front of kindness, self -acceptance, and kindness to enjoy.

Generation 180?

UHLS wrote in conversation today, focusing that these discoveries seemed to be a severe departure from a carefree young stereotype.

The previous generation may be obvious, but today's youth is the era of complex crisis, such as school gunshots, worsening climate crisis, economic uncertainty, and prolonged trauma of the world pandemic. It is growing. Our research did not identify the specific cause of adolescent fear, but the constant exposure to the crisis amplified by social media plays an important role in promoting the spread of spread. There is a possibility.

Despite the data that many aspects of life are safer than the previous generation, young people do not feel it. Their recognition of danger has been further formed by the recent fire -like events that have devastated Los Angeles …

Social media and “constant exposure to crisis” (propaganda) points are good points. I remember hearing a warning about the ice age when I was an elementary school child in the mid -1970s (along with the story of “Killer Honeybee”). This was scary, but I came back and forth. But if the warning is merciless and the social media has been strengthened, we can imagine how chronically we are. That's the same in the story of today's “climate change”. But there is more.

Lack of viewpoint

The observation created by UHLS, the founder and CEO of the UCLA Scholars & StoryTellers Center, is useful here. Despite living in the safest era in human history, the children observed that they just felt it. They have “danger awareness”. Of course, perception and reality can be very different. question:

Is this “awareness” related to how poor today's history? After all, if your historical perspective begins with the time you notice the world, what do you guess?

What happened in your era is “the worst thing that has happened so far.”

For example, COVID might seem like the most terrifying pandemic until he realized that he had killed a quarter of a quarter of medieval Europe. Many people thought it was the end of the world.

Footing at school may make your life abnormally dangerous. (In fact, average young people are more likely to die due to car accidents and OWN death.) In fact, everything was different in all history. People often lived in the reality that field bars could attack their town and kill their families at any time. They dealt with the knowledge that if the crops did not rain and the crops did not grow, they would die.

Expensive health care may seem a problem. In other words, for almost every history, no one had even one who calls “healthcare”. I once read that the average life expectancy of ancient Greece -probably the most advanced civilization of that era was 35.

And “financial uncertainty” may look cosmic unfair. “You can afford to buy your own house!” (26 years old). However, most people had no “finances” for most history. Poverty crushing was the standard.

God's deficit

In fact, safety is an illusion. We live in danger by living. The poor soul who died in the Air Force accident at Reagan National Airport was like you and me. They worked on their business and were engaged in something that intended to be a peaceful activity. And next time maybe you or me. So how do you exile the fear?

faith.

Sadly, one of the 14 priority items of General ZERS was to “create God's will.” Oh, I know, that would not have been different from the old generation. Our age is a secular era. But religion is important. Because when we believe that we have all this life, we can be very afraid of losing it. The religion brings the ultimate perspective:

This life is just a pilgrimage, preparation, and for infinite and better things.

It would be interesting to do research like UHLS with a religious religious believer who is really respected. We may notice that they are not so scary, but also prioritize safety. Their soul is safe.
