IPS Officer Explores Gen-Z Activism, Adapting to Digital Protests

Gen-Z, today's young adults, are changing how people protest, using smartphones and social media to organize quickly.

They value being genuine and fast-paced over traditional methods.

This new kind of protest can bring about big changes but also be vulnerable to being taken over by those who want to cause trouble.

Older generations help support Gen-Z, while younger generations amplify their message.

Protests now spread rapidly online and in real life, happening at the same time.

Authorities need to learn how to manage these new types of protests, making sure to separate peaceful protesters from those causing violence.

These protests are able to influence government action.
