Fostering gratitude and thankfulness is more impactful than simply counting one’s blessings. According to a report on PositivePsychology.com, gratitude can rewire the brain, improve mental health, and enhance relationships. However, it’s important to be mindful of who or what we are grateful for, as toxic relationships can warp the positive effects of gratitude.
The current generation of emerging adults is poised to make significant changes in the world. Gen Z workers are already outnumbering baby boomers in the American labor force, with an increasing number of Gen Z CEOs. Additionally, the average age of European heads of government has been decreasing since the 1980s, indicating a shift in world leadership towards younger generations.
One area where emerging adults may bring positive change is in cultural wars. Young adults are already disillusioned by the current cultural war in America, and have historically played a role in diffusing such conflicts. As the majority of constituents engage in the political process, extreme groups lose influence, potentially leading to the end of cultural wars.
Another area where emerging adults may make a difference is in mental health awareness. Studies show that younger individuals are more likely to recognize mental health issues and seek help. With the increase in mental health campaigns and accessibility to treatment, the current generation of young adults may contribute to addressing the rising rates of mental health concerns in America.
In conclusion, there are reasons to be grateful for the predicted changes that the emerging generation of young adults may bring. Their leadership, involvement in political processes, and focus on mental health awareness could lead to positive shifts in society.
