the fragility of the last generation

 

The internet has turned our existence upside down. It is one of the greatest inventions, which is improving the way we live, but it will lead us to the abyss if we do not pay attention to a new phenomenon that has appeared the last decades. Not only the world wide web is responsible for this danger, but there are also many contributing factors which aggravate this threat. I don't intend to talk about the benefits and the drawbacks of the internet, but I am aiming to talk deeply about the phenomenon I previously mentioned.

A story that happened in America brings the picture closer to mind. A girl returned home, crying to her mother,  telling her that she was bullied at school. The mother was astonished. She thought that a dangerous thing menaced her daughter. She didn't hesitate to ask her what happened precisely and there was a shock. ٍShe said to her mother that her friends went out without telling her. This story leads us to use new terms that indicate the fragility of the last generations. the psychologists named our generation the Z-generation or the generation of snowflakes which means that youngs can easily be broken down as a result of the psychological nature and the easy life we are raised on.

A generation we cannot depend on them to assume their responsibilities. They can be easily smashed even by a small bad word told to them.

No one can get up and say that he is ill with fragility or not, because the fragility is a product of the soft life in which we live.

This fact can only be observed obviously in the rich classes while it can not be noticed in the poor classes who experience a tough life full of unfortunate situations and they used to live in hardships. Yes, we can say that they don't suffer from fragility, while they are suffering from other psychological issues like psychological oppression as a result of social injustice.

This  fact poses a danger to the rich classes  where we can find the problem of pain catastrophizing widespreaded among them. Pain catastrophizing is one of the fragility symptoms. Many students are complaining a lot from the academic pressure and make it the fundamental problem in their lives. Too much complaining and giving such problems more than what they need indicates how much fragility this generation suffer from. They refuse to assume many easy tasks pretending that they are unbearable. They prefer sitting at their desks for endless hours playing games rather than assuming any kind of responsibility. Whereas assuming any kind of responsibilty –whether hard ar soft ones – builds the human beings and forge them strongly. The real problem is not that they don’t have to play or entertain themselves, but it is a question of relying on themselves in order to take turn and build the society from which they are taking endless profits. I am thinking about the future of such fragile generation who is depending on  fast fragile food, on games, on meaningless web  applications and finally on empty minds.

Another spread issue, youngesters may face is the non-patience. They don’t care if they lose a friend in a blink of an eye. Whenever a single touch is raised, they don’t hesitate to break down any relation by blocking him or her. The relationships have no-value among young people. This is the result of the psychological fragility and the priceless love. They are unable to analyse problems and deal with them objectively. If they enjoyed strong clear thoughts, they would take time to think many times before ending any valuable relation.

Psychologists believe that undergoing physical hardships and assuming concrete responsibilities construct the body and the mind. They say that parents should take away their kids far away from the so-called default farms  like  the famous computer game the happy farm and throw them in real farms growing plants and picking fruit. This fruit is the reflection of the non-fragile human young mind.
