My Generation Can be Mean

My Generation Can be Mean

Sarayah Copeland, Staff Reporter

The best thing about being born in this generation is probably the fact that we have so many more opportunities than other generations. I think that my generation is very opinionated and creative. I’ve seen people do and create great things for themselves. there are so many opportunities out there to pursue your dreams. Nowadays people can earn good living and live the lifestyle that they choose by making content or apps. Yet we [my generation] are very opinionated, and we are more apt to voice it. This is can also be a negative thing about my generation. People take advantage of the freedoms that we have to express ourselves, but this is why we can be so negative. Many people use social media and the other apps we have built to be rude, offensive and mean; especially on issues of racism, xenophobia and homophobia. My generation has made it much more easy to spread hate.
