The peculiarity of thinking and perception of the surrounding reality of different generations is determined by the system of coordinates in which the individual was formed.

 

Thus, the generation X developed under the conditions of the total political regime of the USSR, whose moral and ethical norms, as much as possible, simplified the objective reality and presented it in its own ideologically painted dichotomy: good / bad, the hero / traitor, the proletariat / bourgeoisie, the worker / paramoy etc.

 

The Y-generation, formed during the collapse of the totalitarian system, showed its inner need for freedom and other options for understanding reality within the framework of a given dichotomy. This generation clearly demonstrates its ability to adapt to the rapidly changing world, which was formed by the need to "survive" in the period of chaos and the collapse of all systems (political, socio-economic, legal, and moral).

 

Generation Z is unique in that, unlike previous generations, where the information vacuum (generation X) and the beginning of informational chaos (generation Y) were observed, there was an excess of information in the period, but more or less systematized by the development of information technology. The knowledge of the world around the screens of monitors and mobile phones, in turn, provoked a fragmentary perception of the surrounding reality, the lack of the need for fundamental knowledge and the predominance in the generation Z, the so-called "clip" thinking.
