That's why some wealthy people are asking their children to show they can make money themselves before inheriting family wealth. This way you guarantee the new generation will not destroy family assets.
Also because the children are entitled and ask these questions because they have no idea how hard it was to earn it. Education and experience is critical for this younger generation who have been handed a lot.

It's because you can't see the world through their eyes. You're unempathic and selfish. And the only point of your comment, and of people like you, is to shit on gen Z, it's never to lift them up.

And still does. There are more people in slavery at the moment I type this than were ever enslaved during the Atlantic slave trade, by a factor of at LEAST three.
My school wasn't the best but when we were taught slavery, we were taught it happened outside the west too, including how the west traded for slaves in Africa. Is this really some teachers having a biased view, or the governments underfunding education so topics can't be taught in as much detail anymore, so they teach what is relevant to the country. This sounds like people having a hissy fit about critical race theory being taught to kids, when it's really history.
"historic context". you mean to say that slavery was something universal, practiced by everyone on the planet, regardless of civilization and culture? or is the US context, the propagandists only "teach" kids that slavery was only done by white people. black people that ended up as slaves in the Americas were sold into slavery to the Europeans by African countries and kingdoms. typical tribals warfare and enslaving the rival tribes, sell them as slaves. also with regards to slavery and colonialism, Europeans wer enslaved and colonised for hundreds of years by either the Arabs in Spain or by the Ottoman Empire in Eastern Europe. by country and people in Eastern Europe, Romania, were colonised and enslaved by the Ottoman Turks for almost 400 years. and the crimes of the Ottomans during WW1 is rarely talked about. the genocide of Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians. why? because Turkey is part of NATO and corrupt politicians in the West wish to make Erdogan and the rest of Turkey feel comfortable. because Turkey is a country good for trade and cheap labour, or whatever.
Was? Perhaps. Still is? Fuck no. The current Western educational paradigm is a travesty. No context, no integrity, just cherry picked examples over specific mandated timelines intended to justify a narrative. We used to teach young people HOW to think. Now all they’re taught is WHAT to think.
I think it's probably anxiety since they have nothing, little prospect of a happy, comfortable life and the world is currently on fire... Maybe that's what's making you uncomfortable.
In other words, we need political indoctrination instead of education. Education will result in young people forming their own opinions instead of accepting ours.
“They only teach them about this tiny part of slavery.” And “They don’t understand why their country is so great.” And “They don’t understood how the current generation generated wealth” Are all bizarrely put together sentences. Smashed into one argument they imply “Slavery is good, generated wealth, and greatness to our country.” Man, you are not good at this “public speaking” thing. Also, I don’t think you understand macroeconomics at all. Gen Z and millennials are overly educated for their jobs. They do know the world better than other generations. Asking questions is what an intellectually honest person does, and if it’s not answered properly that is not on them.
The war against their children started by the boomers left the Millenials inept, and their ineptness allowed Gen Z to just peace out. The plus side of Gen Z is they chose to opt out, but its unclear they can opt back in when the time comes.
Bassem decimated Konstantin and this type of revisionist and sneering attitude. To the point where he completely crumbled. Don’t know why anyone would take him seriously.
American slavery was absolutely uniquely recent and brutal, and our country's success today has much to do with the suffering of generatatons of slaves brought by force from Africa. In fact this guy is the guy that doesn't understand how our country got to where it is.
😂😂 Konstantin, come on ffs man...we got rich off the backs of cheap labour and pillaging natural resources from all over the planet and happened to have some ideals and "values" we aimed for but made sure didn't prevent us along the way Don't make it sound like we did it all so nobly.
Before the 20th century, every civilization was pillaging and enslaving other people. The West is the first to not only break away from the norm but also change the world as we know it to the point where slavery became much rarer around the world. Other nations of the world do not have regret their past of genocide and slavery as much as the West does.

North American slavery wasn’t a tiny bit it was the whole thing at the time and they need to learn how Americans had national identity over abolishing slavery for an extended period of time before it became abolished and that was because other Americans made up the whole opposition in the world to the abolishing of slavery
Everybody knew that slavery used to be a thing in the past too but people were not so obsessed with it like people are nowadays and people did not think that it made the western world and its history evil in the past like people think nowadays either or that slavery was a white people only thing.
This one's pretty obvious, but when you have more militaristic capabilities (Be that through the alliances you've created, or your own brute force) you tend to be able to control things like international trade routes, and enforce an international law. Being "Top dog" is having the most capability for force and thus having the most stability, as little else will be able to keep a country stable on it's own.

Oooooooooo what a great thinker 😉😂😂😉😉😉
They have chaotic energy that I find hard to be around, and I'm a boomer! At least around here, the zoomers are like that.
I think it's probably anxiety since they have nothing, little prospect of a happy, comfortable life and the world is currently on fire... Maybe that's what's making you uncomfortable.
Or the fact that they’ve yet to realise happiness is found within🤷🏻♂️ not from external sources
They will live in a world that they make, enjoy that misery
Well said.
You can't learn civics if nobody's teaching you civics.
One of my colleagues refers to Gen Z in Hebrew as "dor sug zayin" ("grade Z generation")
A lot of weasel words to blame education there
Education IS to blame. Or the lack thereof.
In other words, we need political indoctrination instead of education. Education will result in young people forming their own opinions instead of accepting ours.
why the top dog of the world's school system cannot teach their new generation about history/etc?
Slavery is still permitted in Judaism.
Watch Europa the last battle'
Teaching via censhoreship
“They only teach them about this tiny part of slavery.”
And
“They don’t understand why their country is so great.”
And
“They don’t understood how the current generation generated wealth”
Are all bizarrely put together sentences. Smashed into one argument they imply “Slavery is good, generated wealth, and greatness to our country.”
Man, you are not good at this “public speaking” thing.
Also, I don’t think you understand macroeconomics at all. Gen Z and millennials are overly educated for their jobs. They do know the world better than other generations. Asking questions is what an intellectually honest person does, and if it’s not answered properly that is not on them.
The war against their children started by the boomers left the Millenials inept, and their ineptness allowed Gen Z to just peace out. The plus side of Gen Z is they chose to opt out, but its unclear they can opt back in when the time comes.
Bassem decimated Konstantin and this type of revisionist and sneering attitude. To the point where he completely crumbled. Don’t know why anyone would take him seriously.
American slavery was absolutely uniquely recent and brutal, and our country's success today has much to do with the suffering of generatatons of slaves brought by force from Africa. In fact this guy is the guy that doesn't understand how our country got to where it is.
This is such stupid take.
😂😂 Konstantin, come on ffs man...we got rich off the backs of cheap labour and pillaging natural resources from all over the planet and happened to have some ideals and "values" we aimed for but made sure didn't prevent us along the way Don't make it sound like we did it all so nobly.
Before the 20th century, every civilization was pillaging and enslaving other people. The West is the first to not only break away from the norm but also change the world as we know it to the point where slavery became much rarer around the world. Other nations of the world do not have regret their past of genocide and slavery as much as the West does.
The whole world is better than it's ever been. Less starvation, longer lives, less disaster deaths.
We did it as nobly as anyone has and that's the true standard, the whole natural resources thing has been part and parcel for a very long time.
@@ironmind258 @ironmind258 @ironmind258 we starved a half a million to death next door in ireland 1847. we took the produce to the stock up colonising ships and feed workers in the industrial cities in the UK while the irish peasants in the west of ireland died. It's just a simple example and very well documented, there's no ambiguity. The standards were pretty base, i mean it's not like these peasants weren't Christians even.
@@kimdavies9460 If the implication is that we shouldn't complain because others had it worse in the past, we should absolutely be complaining because people in the future will have it better than us. Would you have told a medieval patient to shut up because they had it better than cavemen?
North American slavery wasn’t a tiny bit it was the whole thing at the time and they need to learn how Americans had national identity over abolishing slavery for an extended period of time before it became abolished and that was because other Americans made up the whole opposition in the world to the abolishing of slavery
If you are going to dimiss history quite so flippantly, you are never going to learn. This guy is very naive...
Everybody knew that slavery used to be a thing in the past too but people were not so obsessed with it like people are nowadays and people did not think that it made the western world and its history evil in the past like people think nowadays either or that slavery was a white people only thing.
Who is naive?
God(allah) gave you the money so don't be arrogant about it. Be greatful and Submit yourself to God. It's a test.
What the f... does "top dog in the world" mean?
This one's pretty obvious, but when you have more militaristic capabilities (Be that through the alliances you've created, or your own brute force) you tend to be able to control things like international trade routes, and enforce an international law.
Being "Top dog" is having the most capability for force and thus having the most stability, as little else will be able to keep a country stable on it's own.
The host looks like a marshmallow…
The ignorance feeds directly into the tenets of DEI/CRT etc. being taught even in elementary and high schools.
We have more because we’ve oppressed the world.
