> how the different generations process authority and media messaging
The big difference is that the current generation gets it's information from Instagram/..., from peers, not authority, thus at the same time they can be skeptical of authority while totally believing whatever circulates on Instagram (for example the recent fake fact how "Amazon, the lungs of the planet, are burning", the fake fact being that Amazon generates 20% of the world oxygen)
- goatlover 7y agoAlso the fake fact that the Amazon rain forest was being burned down instead of an increased fraction of the forest was being burned this year to clear for more farmland over decline in the percentage in recent years. Which is an issue, because it's best if as much of the Amazon is preserved as possible, but not the apocalyptic one of the entire rainforest going up in smoke.
