Our Legendary Legacy

Our Legendary Legacy Generation Z is leaving the biggest and most unique legacy this world has seen thus far. When viewing our generation from an outsider’s perspective it could be understood how others, not a part of our generation can see a lot of negatives. We have set a new tone for the generations to come, from the way we talk to the way we dress. One of the biggest problems for our generation today is violence. It’s all over the news, “Mass Shooting”, this does not live up to Generation Z’s potential. Unfortunately, violence is a big part of the legacy our generation is leaving behind for future generations; fortunately there is still time to leave a more positive legacy.
