Study: Rising Gen Z Acceptance of Political Violence

Study: Rising Gen Z Acceptance of Political Violence

Some young people in the US, called Gen Z, are starting to think violence is okay to make political changes.

A recent study shows 20% of Gen Z think violence is justified in some cases, which is double the rate of older people.

Things like feeling unhappy with money and politics, plus what they see online, are contributing to this.

Young people are also supporting actions that involve political violence.

This is concerning because it goes against the idea of solving problems peacefully, like with discussions.

It’s important for everyone to agree on how to make changes in a country.
