Dan Miller is a 19-year-old business student in London. He’s also the CEO of a social media company that aims to reach five million young Brits by 2022. "Our mission is to be the next Linkedln, but for students," he says. Miller is an example of the youngest generation of innovators that will define how we work in years to come.
It’s hard to give a definitive age range for Generation Z (also called "iGen"), as descriptions vary among experts. But roughly, the oldest members of this group are around 22, which means some are starting to leave school, to apply for jobs and make money. This generation grew up with social media, watching people like Justin Bieber go from YouTube obscurity to global fame. The importance of social media—both in how it’s shaped Gen Z and how Gen Z will use it to reshape the workforce—can’t be overstated.
"This is a generation that has actively had entrepreneurial opportunities growing up — in many ways, if you’ve grown up managing your personal brand on Instagram, you’re much better wired to think of yourself as an individual brand instead of a cog in an organizational machine," says Arun Sundararajan, a business professor at New York University.
Miller echoes this sentiment: "I think social media is a big influence—everything strikes us as, ’we can start our own company. ’" It’s not hard to see where he’s coming from: on YouTube alone, young people have launched their own business of reviewing makeup, unboxing new trainers or getting strangers to watch them play video games.
For a generation where flexible work and the gig economy have always been career options, making money from a large online following is one of many "micro-entrepreneurial" ventures that has replaced the traditional career path. "This will be the first generation that actively embraces the micro-entrepreneurial jobs as their primary way of earning a living, rather than stable, full-time employment," says Sundararajan. "The one word is ’entrepreneurial’ — that’s the critical differentiator.
But labelling Gen Z as "entrepreneurial" is a common mistake, says Jean Twenge. She is a psychology professor at San Diego State University and author of iGen , a book about the post-Millennial generation. "Absolutely, they’re driven," Twenge says. "In some cases, it’s driven by fear, or ambition. They’re just not driven to take risk.
Her book cites research from the University of Michigan: in 2015. over 55% of American high school students in their final year reported they were "willing to work overtime"—the highest that figure’s been since 1993. And in 2016, only 37% of university students said that "becoming successful in a business of my own" was important, compared to 50% of people the same age in 1984.
This is the mindset of a generation that grew up during the Great Recession; "Millennials grew up in economic prosperity and thought everything [in life and in the workforce] would be easy," says Twenge. "iGen doesn’t have that illusion.
Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
选项
A、How Is Social Media Influencing Gen Z?
B、What Are the Defining Traits of Gen Z?
C、How Is Gen Z Redefining Work?
D、What Makes Gen Z Entrepreneurial?
答案
C
解析
本题是主旨题。通读全文,文中首段举了丹.米勒创业的事例,末句指出他是最年轻一代创新者的代表,这些人将定义我们未来几年的工作方式;第二段引出Z一代,指出他们将利用社交媒体重塑职场;第三至五段阐述了阿伦.桑达拉拉扬的观点,指出Z一代主动把微创业而非稳定的全职工作作为主要的谋生方式;第六至八段介绍了珍.特文格的观点,指出Z一代可能不愿冒险。可知,本文探讨的是Z一代对工作方式的重新定义。故答案选 C。A项“社交媒体如何影响着Z一代”主要在第二和四段提及,过于片面,故排除;文中虽提及Z一代积极创业或不爱冒险等特征,但只是通过特征来论述主题,故排除B项“Z一代的特征有哪些”;D项“什么导致了Z一代具有创业精神”中的“Entrepreneurial”在文中虽有提及,但并未展开分析,故排除。
