Generation Z, typically defined as those born after 1997, has become a matter of fascinating and important debate. Does Gen Z really lack social skills, as many seem to believe? Or are they just navigating a new digital landscape? Did you know that research suggests that Gen Z uses eye contact far less in social settings compared to previous generations? Did you know research also shows they have fewer close friends and have romantic relationships later in life? Is this primarily a Western trend or does it also apply in China? Is this a sign of diminished interpersonal skills or is it something else? How has the rise of smartphones and social media as factors contributed to this shift? _x000D_ _x000D_ In fact, Gen Z spends more time communicating through screens, leading to concerns about how this affects their ability to handle face-to-face interactions and build meaningful relationships._x000D_ _x000D_ Let's talk deeply about the perception of social skills of Generation Z in this discussion hosted by Reed.
