The Rise of Purpose-Driven Youth: How Gen Z is Redefining Activism and Identity

The Gen Z is rewriting the playbook on activism and self-identity, and redefining what it means to be socially conscious in a digital era. Gen Z, in contrast to other generations, smoothly intertwines personal values and a public response to them through technology and social media to promote various causes such as climate change and social justice. Their activism is intersectional, inclusive, and unapologetically bold, utilizing the collective voices they have, both online and offline, to create change quickly. Gen Zers are changing the meaning of identity by making it multidimensional, including gender fluidity, multicultural backgrounds, and novel ways of expressing their identities. They are not afraid to break the rules, name evil, and hold corporations and politicians accountable. Concentrating on the purpose instead of profits and authenticity over tradition, Gen Z is creating a legacy of citizenship based on empathy, action, and innovation, and it is proving that youth-driven movements can transform societies and lead to sustainable development in the future.
