BABY BOOMERS AND GEN Z

• Although, things have changed in our generation, there is still many people
that dislike the idea of change and how fast it happens. Change is absolute
which means both for baby boomers and Generation Z were affected.
• In baby boomers' generation it was considered dangerous if you went against
gender norms by extreme measure. If one were to disagree with the change
of gender norms and take on an activist role it often led to criminal
repercussions. In some cases, led to physical harm to one or both parties
involved. Emotionally or physically abuse were, in one way or another, an
absolute. Baby boomers and generation z have been instrumental in this
generations outlook on current gender norms. Our generation is further ahead
because of the groundwork done by previous generations.
