The document summarizes a presentation given by Ann DeMarle, Associate Dean of the Emergent Media Center at Champlain College. The Emergent Media Center works with around 80-100 students per year on projects to solve "wicked problems", which are problems that seem to have no clear solutions. Some of the projects discussed include educational apps, an emergency response simulator, and a game to help children with cystic fibrosis build breathing techniques. The largest project discussed is Breakaway, an online soccer game developed for the United Nations to address violence against women and girls. The game aims to change attitudes and behaviors through interactive narrative and skill-building gameplay.
Gen Z, those born after 1995, are very different from Millennials in important ways. They grew up during economic turmoil and are more entrepreneurial and financially conscious as a result. They are comfortable with diversity, having grown up in multiracial families with less traditional gender roles. Gen Z are digital natives who are always connected via multiple screens and social media, though they have short attention spans. They communicate visually through images and symbols rather than text. Gen Z are globally aware and concerned about environmental issues.
This document provides an overview of Generation X, those born between 1966-1981. It discusses how Gen X grew up during a time of societal upheaval and lacked clear role models. As they came of age, Gen X developed an anti-authoritarian identity and ethos. Though often overlooked between the larger Baby Boomer and Millennial generations, Gen X has come to wield influence through leadership positions and pioneering new industries. The document examines Gen X's financial situation, career paths, cultural impact, and relationship to technology as they approach age 50.
The document announces the launch of gender studies at the University of the West Indies. It discusses how the program will examine social and cultural issues surrounding gender, and help address problems related to masculinity in society. It aims to better understand challenges facing men and boys, and develop ways to encourage more pro-social behaviors through education and socialization.

The future will be defined by a generation that promises to learn from the lessons of the past to create a world unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
Growing up in the shadow of global meltdowns and watching their Millennial siblings flail, Generation Z have resolved to do things differently. In an instant everything world, these kids are present in today, but curate their experiences for tomorrow. But, what will Gen Z be in 2025?
In Gen Z 2025, we unpack the present to unveil a future defined by the next greatest generation’s evolving worlds of work, education and digital, and the dissolving boundaries between social and cultural norms. Exposed to the breakneck speed of culture, Gen Z will transform our very understanding of generations to come.
- Millennials have grown up with social media being an integral part of their lives and spend more time on social networks than email. They use social media to connect with others, be entertained, get news and information, and network.
- The Great Recession has negatively impacted Millennials' job and economic prospects more than other generations. Median incomes and pensions have decreased while poverty and unemployment have increased among young people.
- While the recession may increase Millennials' self-sufficiency and job security priorities, experts believe this generation remains optimistic and civic-minded, focusing on how to make the world a better place through their work. The recession is a challenge but not one that will embitter them
Gen Z is a large, diverse generation that is about to enter the workforce and influence markets. They grew up during economic uncertainty but are entrepreneurial and want to make an impact. As digital natives who are highly connected globally, they are concerned about social and environmental issues. To engage Gen Z, companies need to communicate authentically through images and allow for independence, creativity, and advancement opportunities.

This document provides an overview of Generation Z, those born between 1996-2009. It discusses that Gen Z has been shaped by events like school shootings, climate change, terrorism and economic crises. They are more cautious and pragmatic than previous generations but also inspired to change the world. Gen Z thinks and works differently than other generations. While this may seem frightening, if businesses properly engage Gen Z and utilize their skills, they can prove exceptionally powerful. The document then discusses various characteristics of Gen Z, such as being financially conscious, global-minded, lacking work experience but being very tech savvy. It emphasizes that businesses must understand Gen Z to attract them as both potential employees and influencers.
Millennials, born between 1982 and 2001, are the most diverse generation yet. They are digital natives who are connected 24/7 through technology and social media. While praised and protected by helicopter parents, Millennials are also high achieving yet taking longer to graduate and begin careers. They are optimistic about the future, embrace multiculturalism, and see friendship as based on interests rather than race.
The newsletter discusses several topics:
1) A survey of American teens' views on the 2008 presidential election and economy.
2) Opportunities for youth programs and grants including film festivals, scholarships, and entrepreneurship awards.
3) Updates on Youth Venture activities around the globe and in local communities promoting youth leadership and social change.
This document discusses Generation Z and provides information from several sources on their characteristics and behaviors. It begins by noting that Generation Z, born in the late 1990s to present, will make up 20% of the US population by 2020. Several key facts are presented about Gen Z: 70% expect to have multiple careers, 60% plan to enroll in some form of college, and 75% believe alternative education is valid. The document examines research from books and reports on how Gen Z navigates social media, learns best through doing/creating, and is pragmatic and entrepreneurial in their career outlook. Educators are encouraged to better understand Gen Z to help them develop skills for a technology-driven world and focus amid constant connectivity.
This document summarizes a presentation about Generation Z or post-millennials. It discusses their defining characteristics such as being cynical, private, entrepreneurial, and technology-reliant. Generation Z is more ethnically diverse than previous generations and embraces differences in gender and sexuality. They are digital natives who are constantly connected via mobile devices and social media. While they are making healthier choices than previous generations in some areas, they also face increased risks of obesity, poverty, and mental health issues. The presentation concludes by offering suggestions for ministry with Generation Z, such as using multiple platforms to engage their short attention spans, treating them as unique individuals, and accompanying them.

This Framework responds to the demands of country leaders, partners, and
youth organizations worldwide, for the Bank to generate new ‘evidence-based’ knowledge for the benefit of children
and youth—especially in the areas of economic and social benefits, costs, and the impact of investment—and to shape
subsequent policy responses across the development spectrum. Through wide consultation at country, regional and
global levels, the Framework also reflects the broad priorities identified by young people from every continent.
The Framework reflects years of operational experience by the World Bank and its partners in helping improve the
lives of young people through the more traditional means of Education, Health, Social Protection, and overall poverty
reduction. This accumulated body of evidence allows us to know what works, and how best to scale up these interventions.
However, it also highlights our gaps in knowledge and resources, and where we need a more integrated and
cross-sectoral approach to develop policies and interventions that can make a difference in tackling the development
issues facing children and youth today that have, thus far, proven hardest to solve.
This document provides an overview of key characteristics of Generation Z based on research from various sources. Some of the main points made are:
- Generation Z is more global, multicultural and racially diverse than previous generations. They are also more open-minded about issues like gender and sexuality.
- They are self-directed learners who embrace technology and see it as a tool for learning new skills and pursuing their interests and passions. Many are interested in entrepreneurship.
- Socially, they are more private than Millennials and prefer to curate their online image carefully. They favor newer social platforms and apps that emphasize entertainment over sharing personal details.
- Financially, they have grown up during economic uncertainty

Some key differences highlighted include technology use, views on work-life balance, and loyalty to employers. The presentation aims to help managers understand generational diversity and adapt their leadership styles accordingly.
Meet Generation Z: Forget Everything You Learned About Millennialssparks & honey
Marketers have been focused on Gen Y (a.k.a. Millennials) for more than a decade. In fact, Millennials are the most researched generation in history!
But Gen Z (born 1995 to present) is different from the Millennial generation. In many ways, Gen Zers are the opposites or extreme versions of Millennials and marketers need to adjust to them.
We are just beginning to understand Gen Z and its impact on the future, but this report explores what we know and foresee.
If businesses are still focused on mastering communication with the Millennials, they will fast fall behind. Because Generation Z is already forming brand preferences, spending their allowances, and becoming entrepreneurs.

Millennials or Centennials? Following The Needs of The Silver GenerationKim Bingham
The document discusses trends related to the aging population and the growing silver generation demographic globally. Some key points:
1) Populations around the world are aging rapidly as life expectancies increase and birth rates decline. The number of people aged 55+ is growing significantly faster than other groups in most countries.
2) Seniors represent a large consumer segment with spending power, though they are often overlooked by companies focused on younger demographics. Their needs and preferences differ from younger groups.
3) To successfully target seniors, companies need to understand the diversity within the senior population and have strategies tailored for different segments - those who are independent, vulnerable, or reliant on family.
4) Case studies show how

- Gen Z spends over two-thirds of their day connected online and consume an average of 68 videos per day, preferring Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat as platforms.

This document contains the notes from a motivational speech given by Dr. Leahcim Semaj. The speech discusses the importance of helping boys and young men develop into self-sufficient adults by providing them with education, job training, and opportunities for meaningful work. It notes that without these supports, many boys are at risk of dropping out of school, becoming unemployed or underemployed, and engaging in criminal activities later in life due to lack of alternatives. The speech argues for more investment in education, job training programs, and social welfare programs to help boys reach their potential and contribute positively to society.

Creating a culture of prevention and recoveryDennis Embry
Texas is the land of professed public bootstraps, and very private suffering. There is not a family in Texas that has not been touched by the rising prevalence of mental, emotional, behavioral and related physical illnesses. In fact there is not a family in America that has not been so touched, based on the elegant epidemiological monitoring in the US.
So in the land of big hats, why cannot Texas take the lead in a very big idea that will save billions of dollars, improve health, increase the global economic competitiveness of the US, and improve our national security? All that sounds, well, frankly very patriotic and American. What is the really big idea?
First, virtually every mental, emotional, and behavioral disorder (including addictions) is preventable. How solid is that statement? Stamp on the ground ten times as hard as you can. Did you feel it? Well that is how solid the science is. You don’t hear it on your TV; you don’t hear that science in your newspaper or Time magazine; you don’t hear it from your health care provider; and people are not learning this at university. And absolutely nobody is lobbying the Texas Legislature or Governor about this science and possibility. I’ll wager you might not believe me, even though I am a pretty dang good scientist. So if you don’t believe me that the science exists, you can go to www.pubmed.gov and look every study or fact I site. After my talk, you will jabbering away at just about anybody who will listen.
Second, recovery from mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders—including very serious ones like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder—can go into remission. This remission and recovery is not dependent on medications. Now that is not a fact that you will hear on TV, or hear from the pharmaceutical detail people in your doctor’s office. Now I read almost everything I can on these problems, and I missed hearing about this science—until recently. That shows you how buried it is. At my plenary, you will hear about the practical science of recovery.
Third, there are ways to pay for all this using something called, “Social Impact Bonds.” So instead of Texas selling bonds for building another prison, bonds can be sold preventing or reducing the problems in the first place. Now there’s an idea. And, yes other countries are doing this.
The really big idea—a Texas big idea? Well, Texas could be the first place in America to do all this. That would change America, and all our futures.
