I think it's hard to gauge from a location perspective and economic development cycles. The spoiled brat and lazy generation is a cyclical affair depending on the values of the generation instilled, and the generation that instilled values on the parents. I think it is said that it takes two generations and every third generation is wasteful.

I've never even heard of generation alpha. These terms seem unhelpful to me. It seems to ignore much of the familial and societial conditioning. But I do think you have a point in terms of rethinking the comparitive difficulties that todays younger generations face and have faced.

"You Just Hate Old People!" Yeah... I Mean, Basically.

Ok, narrative flip.

We keep waiting for the 4th turning, but what if the 4th turning already *turned*?  

What if the Baby Boomers and the hippies were the "weak men" that brough about crisis, which the Millennials and Gen Z are now living through?  What if Gen Alpha is the strong generation that rebuilds society on a stronger foundation??
