2 / 2 ptsQuestion 1

Your Answer:

State your position on the product/tool/service/app that embodies the spirit of Generation Z in one or two sentences. This will serve as your thesis. (For example, "Because of its mission to use the support of large groups, where everyone contributes in small ways to bring creative projects to reality, Kickstarter is the perfect service to embody the Millennial spirit.")

The determination of what population constitutes the millennial generation has been a controversial matter with the most agreed upon feature being that this is a generation who reached adulthood in the 21 century (Dimock, 2019). Because YouTube allows for visual learning and acquisition of information, allows for collaboration in communications and collective entertainment and is resourceful with regard to creating environmental awareness, it embodies the spirit of the millennial generation.
