How this generation turns vulnerability into strength

- By JHON STEVEN C. ESPENIDO

One scroll through Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and other social media platforms reveals an empowered generation known as Generation Z, or Gen Z. The Oxford English Dictionary defines Gen Z as "the group of people who were born between the late 1990s and the early 2010s," following the Millennials.

We know Gen Zs for a multitude of reasons, but first things first—no generation is perfect, right?

It is an indisputable fact that Gen Zs have grown up immersed in modern technology, smartphones, and the internet. This digital upbringing not only brings convenience but also allows for vicarious indulgence in the vast array of events the contemporary world has to offer.

In today’s technological era, Gen Zs find comfort and a platform in the digital sphere, rich with information and opportunities. This generation possesses more than just a dependency on screens; it is also informed by the right knowledge at the right time.
