Reflections on Gen Z: A chapter review

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This book review examines the first chapter, "In No Hurry, growing up Slowly" of the book "i-Gen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy, and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood" written by the author Jean M. Twenge in 2017. The chapter compares I Gen teens with teens of older generations and provides pertinent examples of the differences noted among generations, mainly in going out, acting like adults, driving, having jobs, using drugs, and being watched by parents. While the chapter illustrates how the invention of the iPhone altered teens' behaviors, it lacks an in-depth exploration of internal factors influencing i-Geners. Readers should also remember that these comparisons apply only to the American context. This chapter review highlights the chapter's contribution to understanding I Gen and provides reflections on the universality of the label "I Gen".
