A stereotype that exists about Generation Z is that they are lazy and don’t help out in the community. The media portrays teenagers as sluggish kids who have no desire to be productive or know how to work hard.  The first picture shows a group of young boys after a charity car wash raising money for a local children’s hospital. Charity and community service is something that I see and hear about on a regular basis it doesn’t get much media attention. The picture captures the boys clearly having fun without cell phones or any other multimedia device all the while helping a good cause.

The second photograph shows a boy trapped in a box, with his thoughts, unable to express himself. The image uses three-dimensional

to emphasize the glass box acting as his surroundings making it look deeper and more real.  Today, Generation Z is often criticized of being Twitter addicted with their feelings, ranting about their problems to feel free. It is, in fact, the opposite; it is harder than ever for kids to express themselves in the day of social media as we afraid to show our true identity because one snapchat,one facebook or instagram post later; our insecurities could be exposed on the social media.

The final pictures is a dumpster with old school supplies and equipment it shows the long way we have come in innovating school and changing into a more tech friendly environment. The dumpster shows desks tables being thrown away and this leads to the next picture, a computer lab with nothing but modern technology and students all diligently working to perform there tasks. The students are eager to jumping into the new version of school that awaits to prepare them for the outside world.  Society has misunderstood that we have lived in an age with nothing but modern technology; however we have not, we have lived in an age with books, wooden desks and even manual pencil sharpeners. Our generation is in fact, also part of the transitional period of modern technology.
