1.      A manifesto is a document that’s been complied to represent the philosophy of a particular person or group of people  with the same philosophy  this comprises of their views on the world,aims in their pursuit ,values , morals ,  what  they are for and what they are against.  


2.      Gen, Gen Z or Centennials: Born 1996 and later,Millennials or Gen Y: Born 1977 to 1995,Generation X: Born 1965 to 1976,Baby Boomers: Born 1946 to 1964,Traditionalists or Silent Generation: Born 1945 and before.             

3.      Generation Z is the most current generation which began in the  late 1990s and till the early 2000s . these people are the ones who are born into the age of advanced technology where technology has become a very important   part  of life in all aspects of life   

4.       People magazine, a magazine that is based on keeping the average individual up-to-date with the lives of Hollywood superstars that   gen Z follows  although its all good an well to keep up with these people but it give the opportunity for some of us to look up to the wrong people which negatively impacts our  upbringing         

5.      We chose to use the category of rap music in our youth today as a representation of our generation. We feel that the underpinning issues represented here are based on sex, drugs and alcohol. We feel this because often songs are being rapped with the main content being drugs and thugs in a sense. Rap songs are often based on the street life and encourages gangsterism in our opinion. The male rappers are constantly rapping about women and their past relationships or who they are currently interested in.  The attitudes that are represented in the new age rap music is an attitude of not caring about what anyone else thinks as well as influencing youth to be that way to, and whatever they feel they would like to despite if it means going against morals and values. A violent attitude also comes across because of the content of weapons which is rapped about too.

  1. Based on information collected from Facebook we can conclude that topics on social media that are quite popular in our generation include the equality of women across the world and the fight for women being seen as powerful. We also noticed the idea of being a free spirit and expressing very personal opinions when it comes to lifestyle, government and religion. We feel that mass media has impacted this as it travels really fast throughout the world. Social media is a huge influence on this generation as one’s opinion can be seen by many on a large amount of different platforms.

  1. If we had to assess the idea of a contemporary utopia it would be a world whereby everyone is accepting of one another despite gender, race, religion, financial status and positions of power. It seems that the strive for our generation today is that we all just want to be seen as equals because of the amount of greed and selfishness that emerges based on difference of opinion as well as who has more money or knowledge.
