ISizukulwane C

Mnu. Somlomo, kule minyaka embalwa edlule sizwe okuningi ngokungafani nokwehlukana phakathi kwezizukulwane - ukuthi zifunani, ziluthola kanjani ulwazi lwazo, nokuthi zihamba kanjani nokuthi kungani zihamba. IGen Z ithatha imininingwane ngokushesha nangokubukeka, futhi iyashesha ukwethembeka ezindaweni, imikhiqizo noma imibono. Iminyaka Eyinkulungwane ', Mnu. USomlomo, isifiso sokuhlangenwe nakho ngezinto siye sabumba futhi sakhulisa umnotho wokwabelana. Abasebenza kanzima uGen Xers bagxila emndenini futhi badinga ukuphumula nokuphumula. Futhi phezu kwesimo esidumazayo se- "Okay Boomer", i-Baby Boomers, Mnu. USomlomo, iphindwe kabili ekwabelaneni ngefa lokuhamba namalungu omndeni futhi bazimisele kakhulu ukutshala imali ekulandeleleni amagugu, ukufika kulezo "zindawo zebhakede", nokucwilisa ngokwabo ekuhlangenwe nakho kohambo.

Kepha, Mnu. Somlomo, njengoba sifinyelela esigabeni sokululama ngokuphelele kohlobo lwe-COVID-19 emasontweni nasezinyangeni ezizayo noma ngonyaka, sonke sizobe sesinokuhlangenwe nakho okwabiwe komhlaba wonke okwenzeka ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane. Manje sonke siyingxenye yeSizukulwane C - isizukulwane sangemva kwe-COVID. I-GEN-C izochazwa ngokushintsha komqondo emqondweni okuzoshintsha indlela esibuka ngayo futhi senze ngayo izinto eziningi. Futhi kulokho okuba ngumnotho wethu "omusha ojwayelekile" i-GEN-C izovela emakhaya ethu. Ukuqhela emuva kwezenhlalo, sizobuyela emahhovisi nasezindaweni zokusebenza, futhi ekugcineni sibuyele ezweni elizofaka phakathi ukubona abangani nomndeni, mhlawumbe imibuthano emincane, ukucabanga kabusha ngemicimbi yamasiko nezemidlalo, futhi ekugcineni ukuya ekuhambeni kwe-GEN-C, Mnu. Somlomo.

Futhi lokho kubuyela ekuhambeni kubalulekile emnothweni womhlaba, Mnu. Somlomo. Emhlabeni jikelele, ezokuvakasha kanye nezokuvakasha zibalwa ngamaphesenti ayi-11 e-GDP yomhlaba futhi zidala imisebenzi engaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-320 zabasebenzi abakhonza izihambi eziyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.4 minyaka yonke. Lezi zinombolo azilusho lonke udaba. Ziyingxenye nje yomnotho womhlaba ohlangene lapho ukuhamba nezokuvakasha kungumgogodla wokuphila - imikhakha eyahlukahlukene kusuka kwezobuchwepheshe, ukwakhiwa kwezivakashi, ezezimali, nezolimo konke kuncike ekuhambeni nasezokuvakasha.

Mnu. Somlomo, kusenemibuzo eminingi engaphenduleki. Yini leyo ejwayelekile entsha? Sizosuka nini enkingeni siye ekululameni? Icebo lokuphuma ngemuva kwe-COVID lithatha hlobo luni? Yini okudingeka siyenze ngaphambi kokuba i-GEN-C iphinde ihambe? Yibuphi ubuchwepheshe, idatha kanye nezivumelwano ezizodingeka kithina njengama-GEN-Cs ukusenza sizizwe siphephile futhi?

Kepha yize sisesimweni sokuhlukaniswa kwezenhlalo Mnu. USomlomo, imininingwane yokuqala ikhombisa ukuthi isifiso sokuhamba sisekhona. Njengabantu, sifisa okuhlangenwe nakho okusha nenjabulo yokuhamba. Ukuhamba kunezela kakhulu kwisigqi nasekunotheni kwezimpilo zethu. Ngakho-ke, njenge-GEN-C sidinga indlela eya phambili.

Akungatshazwa ukuthi ezokuvakasha ziphakathi kwemikhakha ethinteke kakhulu yile nkinga, kepha futhi isenhliziyweni yokululama. Iminotho enamandla kakhulu izobe ibangela ukuvuseleleka, kanti ezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha zizoba yinsakavukela — kanye nenjini yokuqasha kuyo yonke imikhakha. Mnu. Somlomo, okubalulekile emhlabeni wonke ukuthi sisebenzisane emikhakheni yonke, ezifundeni zonke, ukwenza uhlaka olungasiza ukuxazulula inselelo yomhlaba jikelele yokuthi ungaqala kanjani kabusha umnotho wezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha.

Mnu. USomlomo, iJamaica inombono oyingqayizivele mayelana nokuqina — amandla okululama ngokushesha ezimeni ezinzima. Njengesizwe esiyisiqhingi, bekufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi sicabange ngokuqina. Isiqhingi siyindida ngokuthi ngezindlela eziningi sengozini kakhulu kunamanye amazwe — bheka ukuzamazama komhlaba okwadala umonakalo omkhulu eHaiti, ukubhujiswa kwePuerto Rico yiSiphepho uMaria - kodwa ngezindlela eziningi ukuba yisiqhingi kunikeza amandla kanye nekhono lokwenza ngobukhali.

Ngonyaka odlule, Mnu.
