This document discusses the differences between Generation Z (GenZ) and their grandparents in terms of technology usage, views on education, work styles, and marriage. GenZ grew up with easy access to the internet and social media, views education as a continuous process, prefers teamwork and technology, and tends to marry later in life. In contrast, their grandparents had limited technology exposure, viewed education traditionally, focused more on individual work, and often married at a younger age to start families. Ultimately, the essay argues each generation should respect the unique qualities of the other.

GenZ is a generation born in the digital age, where they have
easy to use the internet through technology devices. This makes
them different from previous generations, especially their grandparents’s generation. Thus, this essay will discuss more about the difference between GenZ and their grandparents.
First of all, GenZ can use popular social network platforms
such as Facebook or TikTok. It enables them to connect with others and express themselves freely. In contrast, their grandparents have limited exposure to technology and typically communicate through mail or face-to-face interactions.
Secondly, GenZ has a different view about education. They view
studying as a continuous process and they can learn in a variety of ways such as from online video, self-study, or can study in centers. On the other hand, their grandparents often learn in the traditional way, through teachers and textbooks, and they consider earning a living more important than studying.
Moreover, GenZ is also known for intelligence and dynamism.
They like to work in teams and use technology to be productive. However, their grandparents tend to focus on individual work and rely on conventional methods like in-person meetings or mail correspondence.
Lastly, when it comes to marriage, GenZ tends to gets married
late and prioritize their careers before starting a family. They also have a more open-minded perspective on marriage, including accepting same-sex unions. In contrast, their grandparents often married at a younger age and considered starting a family as a significant life goal.
In conclusion, the differences between GenZ and their
grandparents are inevitable. Instead of comparing or judging, it is important to respect the unique characteristics of each generation. By doing so, we can foster a harmonious society that values both tradition and progress.
