Rüdiger Maas: Is our image of youth being manipulated?

The article discusses Rüdiger Maas, a generation researcher, who provides data suggesting that young people, particularly the Generation Z and the younger Alpha generation, prioritize enjoying their lives over traditional work ethic. According to Maas, these generations find it difficult to engage deeply with any single task for extended periods. The article also notes that young people feel they have little influence, making them more susceptible to radical solutions proposed by parties like the AfD.
