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.
The author indicates in Paragraph 2 that social media________.
选项
A、has become integrated into the daily life of Gen Z
B、is a platform for Gen Z to express their views
C、is a major factor in Justin Bieber’s rise to fame
D、has been used to reshape the workplace culture
答案
A
解析
本题是推断题。根据题干定位至第二段。该段第三四句提到“这一代人伴随着社交媒体长大,他们目睹了诸如贾斯汀.比伯等人从YouTube上的默默无闻到闻名全球。无论是从社交媒体如何塑造了Z一代,还是从Z一代将如何利用社交媒体重塑职场来说,社交媒体的重要性再怎么夸大都不为过”。此处突出了社交媒体对Z一代的重要性,即社交媒体“已融入Z一代的日常生活”。故答案选A。B项“是Z一代表达观点的平台”在第二段中并未提及,故排除;C项“是贾斯汀.比伯声名鹊起的主要因素’’中的Justin Bieber’s rise to fame信息正确,但并不能说是主要促成要素,属过度推断,故排除;D项“已被用来重塑职场文化”中的has been used与原文第二段第四句中的时态不一致,且将原文的work force偷换为workplace culture,故排除。
