Is this generation weak?

Not really. This generation is different than previous one. That's all. Challenges today are different, so you can't really compare which one is stronger, anyway.

 

Strong/weak is not the way to frame it. A lack of perspective maybe, though not just in terms of the natural amount that comes with youth but technologically mediated communication influencing their thought process, and the state of the world and how it impacts them can understandably make one kind of depressed. BTW I'm in my 40s.

 

Yep. I think someone posted a saying on here that I remember:
Hard times create strong men
Strong men create good times
Good times create weak men
Weak men create hard times.
Right now, speaking generally we are in pretty good times, our lives are fairly easy, we don't have too many physical challenges.
Also, the liberal democratic ideology benefits from destroying traditional manhood and the family institute. So we are having a flood of soyboys who have been taught that being a man is something disgraceful, to use a strong word.

 

Generations are just groups of people alive within a certain period.

Heaps of people my age are weak and pathetic especially when they need to back up or stand up for their ideas. But if a Boomer grew up in this time period, I’m sure they would be also.

Likewise, I’m sure Millennials and GenZ’ers would be legendary if they were forced to fig

It’s mostly about the social, political, economical and technological environment.

 

Apparently it's the pampered generation.

 

the most poisoned one for sure . Talking 'bout brainwashing, manipulation, toxic nutrition . Matrix is stronger than ever .

 

Ok boomer

 

They are more engaged with their phones than with the people around them. There's no eye contact, and they lack social skills due to growing up in a virtual reality where everyone says and does whatever they want without consequences. They are not so much weak as they are products of their environment and as said before, pampered. There's a lot of waste going on due to parents trying to keep their kids happy. I see it all the time, especially with food being thrown away and lack of disciplinary control. Sadly it's a mostly American epidemic too.

 

What do you mean when you say that people are being taught that being a man is shameful? Also, what do you consider as being a man? Can you provide examples of that and how traditional manhood and families are being destroyed?

 

Feminist agenda attempts to tear down traditional masculinity. That's the political climate in America, at least. "Shameful" may not be the right word but I couldn't think of another at the moment that I wrote that post. "Toxic" would be better.

In this situation I would say someone who is strong enough (both mentally and physically) to defend and provide for his family. There is a lot more as well, of course.

Yes. Liberal democratic ideology detests the concept of traditional family because it is seen as a haven from politics.

Examples include gay adoption, trans kids, and other things that throw the family institution out of joint. Kids are increasingly raised and taught by government school systems and daycare.
Kids that generally have the best success in life have been shown to have a strong father, as well as a mother. There is a reason men and women produce kids, not two men or two women.

 

I second that statement.

 

They can`t be weak cause of evolutions

 

When people hide themselves in Social media to avoid real life
Hide in porn and their sexuality trying to find love
Always love being the leader and not the follower
Spend more time on social media and video games then actual prayers
Reject social values and ethics to be influenced by the media.
Pretend to know life while living on complete ignorance
When your value is measured on how many followers you have on social media.

of course, we are weak.

 

The lack of fathers is the problem black community is facing man.

 

Wait till the boomers and gen x run out of social security (translation: other people’s money) and then we’ll see who’s weak.

 

(talking only about Western Europe/America, I'm sure there is a lot of variation elsewhere)

Young people today aren't weak, they are poor. People under 35 own less, earn less and spend less than their richer relatives and colleagues. It has lead to a generation of young adults who haven't had the opportunity to grow up - they are forced to live at home in order to save up to buy a house or because their employment situation is so shaky, which prevents them forming relationships and starting their own household and family like their parents did by that age (even after a few years of independence too).

old people are unable to see that the world they took for granted has change, so they blame millennials' attitude on computers, identity politics, twitter, cell phones - everything they don't understand. There's nothing wrong with young people that a decent job and 50k a year wouldn't solve. But so few have that opportunity nowadays.

 

In my surrounding majority young people and teenagers are weak,they just looking at phones and don't know in which direction their life's go.Instead of taking responsibility they give an excuse.Instead of dealing with problems they try to avoid that instead of facing to them and solve them.Instead of losing life and losing control it would be nice to avoid drinking/porn/smoking/unnecessary conflicts,they just need to remember they are alive and to follow their own purpose.Nothing against teenagers and young people,i m 19 years old and in my surround this is true.

 

Every generation has weak and strong people it is not just to the newest generation.If everyone is strong then no one is .Every generation will face challenges but times are different for each generation.

 

I wholeheartedly agree, i think we as people are more impatient, more pleasure seeking, without a doubt. It's a very conservative life, always preparing for a future that isn't actually physical yet. It's programmes like this and practises like meditation that can really help bring the few that are lost back to earth. I think by weak we lack the determination of previous generations, it's funny how being anti social is now seen as cool and edgy as well. A lot of people my age just aren't acting the way id expect. No one really gives any eye contact and i think as a whole it feels awkward or just socially wrong to talk to a stranger. Idk what to really do about any of it though. Just gotta change for ourselves to what suits us i guess.
