So we have been working on our introduction script and it has been through a few different iterations but I do not think it has finished evolving quite yet. Shreya and I met today and we were able to discuss our visions for the introductory speech that will set up the context for the rest of the excerpt. Below is the rough draft I wrote and Shreya edited.
Generation Z or those born between 1997-2012 are the most multicultural generation the world has ever seen. This is largely due to the massive amount of globalization that has occurred during the second industrial revolution (tech revolution) as well as increased connectedness that allowed for far more intercultural connections.
The land of immigrants, America, has seen the rise of different communities like Chinese-American, Indian-American and Mexican-American. Migration has been around for thousands of years, it is what made the world what it is today.
But what makes the present so special is the duality of gen z, being raised in two distinct cultures, pockets of this generation are attempting to preserve their family culture while living in another one.
I am iffy about this introduction because I think it is unfinished which is correct. I think a really important detail to include is how cultures that arrived before more recent ones are more mainstream and have an easier time maintaining culture. Like Italian culture is celebrated through widespread consumption of pizza and lasagna. It is a work in progress.
