Not a day goes by without having to suffer the whining in woke language from a fringe of our young people.
Everything is “traumatic”, “violent”, “aggressive”. Nothing offends their “sensitivity” and calls into question “their mental health”.
For what
At home, the peak of pathetic whining was reached by these medical students from Laval University, invoking their fragile psychological balance in the face of the prospect of being obliged, during their externship, to go and treat people in the regions.
A constraint, a joke from a teacher, a harsh comment during the correction of a piece of work, a vigorous objection during a discussion, everything becomes an excuse for whining, for curling up in a ball in a corner, for asking custom accommodations.
From year to year, the number of students who get extra time to do their exams is increasing.
When they are on the labor market, nowhere in their diploma will it be said that they will have benefited, throughout their university course, from an immense advantage over their colleagues.
When they are protected by anonymity, these little rabbits so concerned about themselves can however be a lot less so about others.
“Psychopathic, physically and mentally ill [sic], he must return to his country, filthy race. »
“Incompetent, asshole. »
“Bro what the fuck, my dog explains better. »
Here are some anonymous comments addressed to lecturers at UQAR by students.
Surely there is a way to express your dissatisfaction in another way, right?
Renowned New York University psychologist Jonathan Haidt has long studied Generation Z born between 1997 and 2012.
We have never seen, he said in the wall street journal (December 30, 2022), such a “depressed, anxious and fragile” generation.
Two main causes, he says: social media and a culture that encourages victimization.
It was exactly in 2013, he explains, that depression rates began to skyrocket, especially among North American teenage girls.
What is happening at this time to explain this sudden surge?
In 2012, Facebook bought Instagram, which became a mass phenomenon.
It is the “beginning of the era of the selfie”, of the “likes”, of the comments “you are fat and ugly”.
Young people who were previously overprotected, raised in cotton wool, who have not been hardened by life, without antibodies to face real wickedness, are suddenly exposed to it.
Many crack. Many take refuge in conformism: think like everyone else, dress like everyone else, do like everyone else, “fit” absolutely.
Employees
Before, we learned socialization by playing hockey in the alley, spending the day at the mall.
Now they are alone in their room with their phones watching what the world thinks of them.
When they go out, they are convinced that the campus and society are full of bad guys.
And the whole social system flatters them in the sense of the hair. Talk to the bosses who have to manage these new employees.
It gives what we see.
