Details about the post-90s generation.

Post-90s refers to a generation of China citizens born in 1990s, and sometimes refers to all China citizens born after 1990 (including 1990). The post-90s generation, like the post-80s generation, was born after China's reform and opening-up, but the difference is that the post-90s generation has already made remarkable achievements when it was born, which is also the era of rapid development of informatization in China. Therefore, the post-90s generation can be said to be the priority experiencer in the information age.

Due to the influence of China's family planning policy, the post-90s generation are generally only children, and most of them are minors. Due to the development and changes of the times, the ideas and concepts of the post-90s generation are very different from those of the older generation in China, and their values and behavior patterns are also different from those of their predecessors, which is one of the reasons why the post-90s generation has been questioned and criticized.

Although there is no lack of criticism of the post-90s generation, the social value of the post-90s generation is gradually recognized by many people. After 90, it first appeared in public view on a large scale because of the flood of brain-dead (Martian) on the Internet.

[Edit this paragraph] I. Social background

The living environment of the post-90s generation is much better than that of previous generations. They have never experienced historical and political turmoil or excessive economic fluctuations. Due to the influence of the family planning policy, most of the post-90s generation are only children except their parents, and their family values are relatively weak. In this growing environment, quite a few people are more withdrawn than previous generations. Today, information in China is developing rapidly. At the same time, due to "economic globalization", goods from all over the world have flooded into China, and exchanges between countries have become increasingly extensive. However, the post-90 s generation is relatively young, has a strong ability to accept new things, and is also very different from their predecessors in aesthetics and values.

Compared with the older generation of citizens in China, the personal qualities of the post-90s and post-80s generations have improved significantly. Its living habits, values and world outlook are in line with the international mainstream. In addition, due to the drastic changes in China's growing social structure, the post-90s and post-80s generations are more divided than previous generations, so their lifestyles and values are more diversified.

[Edit this paragraph] Second, times have changed

According to the information, in 1999, there were only over 4 million netizens in China, and by 2007, it had exceeded137 million. According to a survey conducted by China Youth Research Center, more than 70% of China children aged 7 to 15 have been online at least once. Today, more than half of urban children have Internet connection at home.

In education, a series of reforms since 1997 have made China's education system gradually break away from rote learning and move towards a western-style approach that pays attention to independent thinking. The learning style of the post-90s generation is also very different from that of the previous generation in China.

In terms of mental health, relevant data generally show that the mental health level of teenagers is declining in the past two or ten years: negative psychological characteristics, such as psychological problems, anxiety level and depression level, are gradually increasing or improving. For example, from 1992 to 2005, the anxiety score of teenagers increased by about 8%, and the hostile psychological score increased by nearly 8%; From 1989 to 2005, the depression score increased by about 7%. At the same time, some positive psychological characteristics, such as self-esteem, are gradually declining. From 1.997 to 2007, adolescents' self-esteem scores decreased by 1%. But so far, there is still no large-scale long-term follow-up study on the psychological changes of teenagers in China.

On the social front, a survey on the post-90s society shows that more than 60% of the respondents deny that they don't care about society. The most striking feature of the survey results is "full of personality and creativity", but lack of understanding of others, and the "post-90 s" generation is also full of confidence.

intelligence

Due to the relative increase of knowledge and experience, the relative development of cognitive ability and thinking ability, their understanding of the external world is constantly extensive and in-depth, especially the discovery of new self, which makes their psychological activities begin to point to their own internal world and the relationship between the internal world and the external world. At this time, they gradually appear psychological atresia. This kind of atresia makes them no longer confide in others easily, and they have higher requirements in communication and stricter selection conditions. At this time, it is difficult for them to find "soul mates" and "mutual understanding", which can resonate psychologically, so they often find it difficult to be understood, resulting in different degrees of loneliness. However, due to the requirements of socialization, they strongly want to communicate with others, to get their understanding, and to open their psychological doors to people who can understand themselves. But because it is difficult to find such intimate friends, they often feel bored.

education

Due to the changes of the times and the economic transformation of the country, the parents of the "post-90 s" have encountered a completely different system reform from the lifestyle they were used to since childhood. The "iron rice bowl" they followed for many years was broken. They need to re-choose their careers and struggle on their own. Many people are involved in the tide of going out to sea, and the great pressure makes them spend most of their time at work.

At the same time, the post-90s parents are eager to pass on the competitive pressure they feel to their children. They think that education in schools is not enough to cope with the real world. Under the policy of educational industrialization, schools are under great pressure, and all kinds of training have mushroomed, so the children born after 1990s have received a lot of professional training in family education and educational guidance books since childhood. Premature competitive pressure makes the post-90s generation generally smart, versatile and have a wide range of hobbies.

Children's parents

Parents are confused in the process of educating their children, and now they have become their children's "wallets"; Accuse children of being selfish and self-centered. With the enrichment of material life, children's self-control ability is getting worse and worse. Academic performance is worrying, and there are great problems in communication with children. On the other hand, under the pressure of great competition, children have lost a lot of happiness that they should have, which is also called juvenile problem, which makes them feel wronged. It is difficult for both sides to find a balance.

[Edit this paragraph] 4. assess

"The symbol of a generation is fashion: but the content of history is not just clothes and jargon. People of an era either bear the burden of change belonging to their era or die in the wilderness under its pressure. " -harold rosen Fort "Death of the Desert"

The new generation of each era seems to have received special attention, because they are all marked with a distinctive brand that marks this era. For the new generation, it seems that people come to praise or belittle, or worry or like or praise. But who didn't make mistakes when he was young? People have given different attributes in different times. The words we can remember are the lost generation, the angry youth and the beat generation in the past, and the new and new human beings now. But in any case, everyone is a link in the long river of history, but history has given different missions to each era.

The post-90s generation will one day become the master of China. The same is the only child, but the generation after 90 is very different from that after 70 and 80. About the post-90s generation, some began to pay attention to their group, and some may not have noticed that they have begun to show their unique behaviors.

Xie Youshun, a literary critic, once pointed out that these children born in the 1990s are generally precocious because of the influence of social changes, although they are still in the stage of being cared for and educated. From the beginning, they are willing to become the darling of the consumer society and the era of science and technology.

In any case, the problems exposed by the "post-90 s" are by no means caused by themselves, which is also a huge test for the communication and guidance between society and parents.
