After reading Dr. Jean Twenge’s book, iGen, her argument convinced me that this would be the name to stick. But after several years, it hasn’t stuck. Gen Z is and appears to remain Gen Z (for better or worse). Michael Dimock explores the idea of labeling and identifying generations, and the formation of generations in his article Where Millennials end and Generation Z begins (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/17/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins/ ).

As a Millennial, I am constantly surprised at how quick many people are to assume that my generation is lazy, or expects participation trophies. Historically, my generation played a large role in many of the technological innovations we take advantage of today. Thinking about how your generation is viewed, what do you want others to recognize about your generation that gets missed?
