And in a very different context.""...this is just one of the hundreds, if not thousands, of examples of a Gen Zer saying, 'I don't trust leaders to make decisions that are in my best interest. I don't trust the system. I'm going to just go ahead and start doing things that I think are going to make a difference because that's the only power and agency that I have.'""I'm going to be curious to track that over this election, and certainly the next couple of years to see if their notion of creating change involves basically playing within the existing systems, as well as working around them. I think that there they has a multi-tiered approach.""The most frequent role they play is The Doer. A lot of 'I want somebody to tell me what to do, give me direction, and then I'll go do it. I don't really want to be in charge of other people. I don't really want to be in charge of the process.'"Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeSparks and HoneyPew Research Center - Generation ZThe Science of Happiness
