Yesterday, I delivered an online lecture on "Understanding Gen Zalpha (Z+A)" to about 40 faculty advisors at Kyungil University.
Honestly, I was a little nervous before the lecture.
These professors meet students every day, so talking to them about generations felt daunting.
But once we got started, the response built up quietly.
"Why don’t students these days add their professors as KakaoTalk friends?" Once we unpacked frustrations like this through the lens of generational codes, many reacted with, "Ah, so that’s why!"
Student behavior patterns the professors had long wondered about were explained through generational traits, and their understanding seemed to broaden.
In the end, generational differences are not a question of right or wrong, but of being different.
They are simply the natural differences between generations raised in different environments.
The side that reaches out first ends up with the better relationship.
Thank you to the Kyungil University professors for giving us your time.
