Jean M. Twenge Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Urodzeni po 1995 roku, przedstawiciele iGen dorastali w świecie zdominowanym przez technologię, nie pamiętając czasów sprzed internetu. To pokolenie, które dojrzewa wolniej, jest bardziej znerwicowane, ale również bardziej tolerancyjne i bezpieczne niż wcześniejsze generacje. Młodzi ludzie unikają dorosłych pokus, takich jak alkohol czy seks, a także odpowiedzialności związanej z dorosłością. Cechuje ich ostrożność i otwartość, co może być zaskakujące. Aby skutecznie nawiązywać z nimi kontakty – jako rodzice, pedagodzy czy pracodawcy – konieczne jest zrozumienie ich zachowań. Media społecznościowe i esemesowanie zastępują tradycyjne formy komunikacji, co prowadzi do wzrostu lęku, depresji i samotności wśród młodzieży. Dr Jean Twenge, korzystając z badań i wywiadów z ponad 11 milionami osób, ukazuje unikalne cechy tego pokolenia, w tym ich podejście do religii, seksualności i polityki. Dominacja smartfonów wpływa na każdą sferę życia nastolatków, a ich doświadczenia są podobne niezależnie od statusu społecznego. Zrozumienie iGenu jest kluczowe, ponieważ ich przyszłość kształtuje kierunek, w jakim podąża świat.

A groundbreaking, revelatory portrait of the six generations that currently live in the United States and how they connect, conflict, and compete with one another-from the acclaimed author of Generation Me and iGen.

La tesi di Jean M. Twenge è semplice ma rivoluzionaria: i ragazzi non sono più quelli di un tempo. Sono nati negli anni zero del Duemila, sono cresciuti costantemente connessi, immersi negli smartphone (iPhone in particolare) e nei social network. La rete ha preso il sopravvento sui rapporti faccia a faccia e i giovani di oggi sono più aperti e più attenti delle precedenti generazioni, ma anche più ansiosi e infelici. E sono immaturi, infantili: non bevono, usano meno droghe e fanno meno sesso, ma sono anche meno pronti ad affrontare la vita reale, al punto di essere sull'orlo della peggior crisi esistenziale di sempre.

They were born after 1995. They grew up with cell phones, had an Instagram page before they started high school, and do not remember a time before the Internet. They are iGen. In the book that has sparked conversations around the world, Dr. Jean Twenge offers a revelatory portrait of a new generation growing up more slowly and more anxious -- but also more socially tolerant and safe -- then any generation in history. Through her deep analysis of data drawn from more than 11 million respondents over multiple decades, Dr. Twenge identifies iGen's surprising attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics, as well as unprecedented levels of anxiety and loneliness. As this new group of young people grows into adulthood, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand them. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation -- and the world. - Back cover
