How can we train the next generation to realize that just because you're unique doesn't make you special or worthy of acknowledgement for your uniqueness?

"Uniqueness" is a completely arbitrary metric so this question is fairly meaningless.

We don't really need to because generation Z is already fed up with this shit and is turning out to be the most conservative generation of all time.

Nice to see that the future at least holds SOMETHING worth looking forward to.

Back on topic. Most young people need a punch in the face, by an adult. More than any generation ever. And not as discipline. More of a wake up call about living a life.

If you have Netflix. Look up Chris D'Elia Man on Fire. Has a good ten minutes about people thinking they are special. Basically you think you are all that because that is all you know. Like we all think we are the star of the movie.

We don't. We are all different and unique, it's the arrogance and petty victimization attitude that's the true problem and human beings have been that way ever since Unga the Caveman discovered he was left handed or something.

@Troll_Police_ most libertarian actually, those reports who said it was the most conservative didn't took abortion, climate change and gay marriage into account...but they opose stuff like claims of white privilege and special treatment for muslimshttp://www.patheos.com/blogs/geneveith/2017/02/and-now-the-conservative-generation-z/

Basically, we need to improve our teaching of literature. You can practically feel the children's enthusiasm for stories drain as they go through school. Is it really any wonder that, when they grow up, they don't know how to write a properly flawed character?

You don't. People are selfish by nature and have always been that way. The only thing that's changed is now we have the internet where people who should be voiceless are free to be very vocal with their thoughts without much repercussions if any. Thankfully I'm not a sensitive little soul so I can deal with other peoples opinions rather easy. Thus people being "snowflakes" doesn't bother me. It actually assumes me at times.

Which would be a good start, but they might echo chamber up like Millennials.

The whole generation system clearly doesn't work any more but you'll always have people try to exploit it for marketing purposes. That aside, ignoring prevailing trends doesn't make trends go away. If we could get rid of SJWs by ignoring them, we'd have no SJWs. Instead, they're an epidemic among Millennials, like a zombie infestation but way less fun.

An optimistic but doubtful claim given that Gen Z was indoctrinated into the church of SJW.
