When a glimpse and search the apparent cognition of
the thinking of the “Z” generation, it is clear that the emphasis is on
polarization. If, on the one hand, there is a charm to changing the world, on
the other, pessimism and disappointment abound.
The pathbreaking of the world, empowered by
information technology with all its innovation tools, triggered a spate of
“plugged generation” a species of virtual religion in this generation. Where
there is no space and time imposing limits. Everyone seeks the truth for each
other, they run together, but interests are diffuse, they produce a kind of
liquid, deformed reality, in the words of the sociologist, Zygmunt Bauman, in
his book “Liquid Modernity”.
Roughly speaking, we cite as an example wall street
executives, tycoons of large transnational corporations, digital new rich, we
do not intend to reason here whether they are wolves or lambs. The fact is that
they dedicate themselves body and soul to work and make a fortune. Later, in
retirement, they go into philanthropy or politics. It is not uncommon to also
find prominent executives of the financial system, cooperating with the
economic team of governments, in a cognitive process coming from large
financial conglomerates, such as JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan
Stanley, and other big players.
If we compare Aristotle's teachings, we have this;
individuals were educated in the best ethical and moral principles, in addition
to scientific knowledge, to be good and qualified citizens, capable of
performing beautiful deeds. These actions, over time, would benefit the
community. Therefore, the more individuals that stood out, the more the
community participated in such resulting activities.
In summary, will the pragmatism of this generation,
and devoted think tank based on a new economic and social order, sponsored by
the UN, WEF, and great world leaders, in order to create a disruption in some
principles already conquered and ingrained in society over time, which
certainly need an “upgrade”, it is true, but which should not be greedily
supplanted. In doing so, wouldn't we be facing a kind of virtual nihilism,
denying what has already been settled out? Is this the right way to build a new
fair world?
In this way, let us strive to make everything work
out, as it is an unusual journey towards a new and unknown world. In Greek
mythology, the person responsible for carrying out this meta-crossing was
Charonte (the waterman)* who charged a coin for this service. In this new
post-modern era, who will be responsible for this crossing, and have you
already reserved your coin for this unwonted ride??
*In Greek mythology, Charon (Greek:
Χάρων, transl.: Chárōn) is the ferryman of Hades, who carries the souls of the
newly dead over the waters of the River Styx and Acheron, which divided the
world of the living from the world of the dead. A coin, was the price to pay
you for the ride
