Over the past two centuries, different generations were born and given different names. Each
generation comes with its characteristics, which are largely influenced by the historical,
economic, and social conditions of the country they live in. However, in many countries the
following three generations have common characteristics.
Generation X refers to the generation born between 1965 and 1980. When Gen Xers grew up,
they experienced many social changes and developments in history. As a result, they are always
ready for changes and prepared to work through changes. Gen Xers are also known as critical
thinkers because they achieved higher levels of education than previous generations.
Generation Y, also known as Millennials, refers to those born between the early 1980s and
late 1990s. They are curious and ready to accept changes. If there is a faster, better way of
doing something, Millennials want to try it out. They also value teamwork. When working in a
team, Millennials welcome different points of view and ideas from others.
Generation Z includes people born between the late 1990s and early 2010s, a time of great
technological developments and changes. That is why Gen Zers are also called digital natives.
They grew up online and never knew the world before digital and social media. They are very
creative and able to experiment with platforms to suit their needs. Many Gen Zers are also
interested in starting their own businesses and companies. They saw so many people lose their
jobs, so they think it is safer to be your own boss than relying on someone else to hire you.
Soon a new generation, labelled Gen Alpha, will be on the scene. Let's wait and see if we will notice the generation gap. Act 5: Discussion
