Generation Z, growing up in the digital age and socio-economic uncertainty, is deeply concerned about the performance of their representatives, who are often perceived as unresponsive to the needs of the people.
In this context, Surya Pradana Adipatiarga, a Gen Z politician from Gresik, urged the younger generation to highlight the performance of their representatives, who seem oblivious to the difficulties faced by the people on a daily basis. The performance of representatives should reflect the aspirations and hopes of the people, especially the younger generation, who have a fresh perspective on social change.
However, many policies adopted have a negative impact on their daily lives, creating dissatisfaction and a sense of alienation. Social media has become an important tool for Gen Z to voice their aspirations and critique public policies. Through these platforms, they can uncover overlooked voices and organize activism movements to push for change. Furthermore, the moral responsibility of representatives to listen to and respond to constituents' aspirations is increasingly pressing amidst growing political awareness among the younger generation.
The phenomenon of dissatisfaction among Generation Z with the performance of representatives in Indonesia is increasingly striking, especially when their aspirations are often ignored by the leaders who are supposed to represent the people. In this context, Surya Pradana invites Gen Z to unite in an important movement that highlights the need for greater attention to the difficulties faced by the community.
Generation Z, as a group that grew up in the digital age and instant information, has high expectations for the performance of its representatives and desires policies that are not solely oriented towards political interests but also consider the welfare of society as a whole.
The impact of public policy is often felt directly in daily life, making it crucial for young people to understand how legislative decisions affect their social and economic conditions. Social media plays a crucial role in Gen Z activism, providing a platform to voice opinions and organize collective movements for change. However, these voices are often overlooked by the existing political system.
