The end of the alphabet : how gen Z can save America / by Brown, Isabel(Podcaster),author.(CARDINAL)888752; Rubin, Dave,1976-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)833817;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 202-216).Foreword: Dave Rubin -- Introduction -- Doomed or chosen? -- The upside down -- Punk rock patriots -- Beyond the echo chamber -- Breaking the system -- The great divide -- Giving a voice to Generation Z -- Beyond life as we know it."Today in America, we live in "the upside down." Lies have become truth while truth and those seeking it are silenced and vilified. Our nation desperately needs a generation to rise up and fight for the future and those who will come after us-and that generation is Gen Z. Gen Z has the power to change the world. As the largest emerging demographic in American history, Gen Z is at the center of a cultural shift, one that will define the direction of our country for generations to come. Intellectually curious, culturally courageous, and unafraid to push societal boundaries, Gen Z is ready to embrace leadership as the most educated generation in history. These young and often underestimated Americans are here to fight for a better future-and we won't wait for permission to lead. Rising content creator Isabel Brown is smart, driven, and passionate-a strong champion for truth in America. She fervently believes that Gen Z has the power, the potential, and the opportunity to define the cultural direction of America. The End of the Alphabet is a rallying cry for Gen Z to embrace traditional values in a new-age way and step up to make our voices heard. Although taking an active role in culture and politics is nothing new for young people, today's youth face overwhelming push back from older demographics. Looked down on by those who came before us as too young, too naive, and too unique to impact our society, Gen Z'ers are instead told to sit down and shut up until they have earned enough "life experience" to lead. This view of Gen Z is crippling and deeply ignorant of the cultural shifts we have and will experience in the coming decades as Gen Z begins to step into positions of power and leadership. So, who is Gen Z? What does the future of our nation-and conservatism-look like with Gen Z at the helm? Read this book to find out"--
