Social media created a generation of of 'weakened kids' threatening American culture and capitalism, NYU business school professor says in WSJ op-ed
on the"national crisis" of Gen Z, written by Tunku Varadarajan and based on an interview with social psychologist and New York University's Stern School of Business professor Jonathan Haidt. Varadarajan is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and at New York University Law School's Classical Liberal Institute.
Varadarajan writes that Haidt's 2018 book"The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure" covers victim culture in detail, and that social media is the focus of two additional books that Haidt is currently working on. "You're not creative, you're not future-thinking, you're focused on threats in the present," he said, adding that those qualities could threaten America's culture of innovation.
"This is something I hear from a lot of managers, that it's very difficult to supervise their Gen-Z employees, that it's very difficult to give them feedback," Haidt said. Notably, millennials' entrance into thegenerational differences would lead to communication challenges.
