Generation Z is a bright example of the people who emerged in times of great globalization and postmodernism. Unlike their ancestors, they are familiar with smartphones long before gaining the ability to walk. What is more, it often happens that a toddler has not even learned to speak, but knows perfectly well how to turn on the computer and start a favourite game. So, generation Z is the children of the Internet and modern technology. Due to this, they did not have a typical childhood «in the yards», and therefore are not team players, they should be taught this.

This generation is characterized by the absolute absence of a clearly defined life position. Unlike all their predecessors (попередники), Zs are not motivated by money or any career advancement. Moreover, they are not at all independent and constantly need someone to tell them what they should do. However, they are sufficiently ambitious and cannot be forced into anything. After all, they will never do what they do not want. Even from a young age, they need to listen to their thoughts. They love to learn, quickly remember new things. Large amount of information do not present any difficulties for them.

The vast majority of knowledge they get comes from online resources. Because they do not see the point in school or university, they do not get the basic knowledge and skills. Everything they learn online is extremely situational. Despite this, Zs are remarkable for their incredible multitasking and creativity. They are keen on finding solutions to difficult situations and solving complex problems.

Quite negative features are also in their nature. They are often hysteric, striving for everything to be as they say. They have a pronounced arrogance, selfishness and narcissism if to take only the selfie culture and YouTube vlogging. Though they are empathetic, trying to be carrying to people they even do not know.

Generation Z is travellers. They do not need comfort, work or money. They strive for everything new and unknown. Therefore, they will not care where to spend the night, where to go to even if hitchhiking, and the sense of danger is completely absent. The main thing is the emotions that they will be able to experience.

Quite often, generation Z opposes bad habits, and they are also vegetarians. They usually keep to healthy eating, visit sports centres and act in an eco-friendly manner. They believe in world peace and at the same time strive to solve environmental and social problems by avoiding conflicts.
