The three-year epidemic has changed many people's lives, and after that period of time, everyone gradually found that it seems that the social trend is also changing. Compared with the past, there have been many anomalies in society.
Whether it is from the perspective of consumption, outlook on life, or everyone's mentality, great changes have taken place. It is not easy to evaluate whether these changes are good or bad, after all, everyone's situation is different, and everyone can only judge for themselves.
What has changed? After reading this article, I will take you to find the answer.
1. Change of mentality
I don't know if you have noticed that today's young people seem to be becoming more and more realistic, and they think very differently from their predecessors. This difference is often unacceptable to older generations, who believe that young people should not have this idea.
But in fact, the young people of the present generation believe that they are not wrong, and the thinking of the older generation is backward and not suitable for today's society.
If you want to adapt to today's society, you must understand what it's like. Take the most classic marriage urging, the concept of the two generations is very different.
For the older generation, they feel that marriage is like eating and sleeping, and everyone has to get married and have children when they reach a certain age.
But now there are more and more young people who are unwilling to get married or have children, and the most intuitive thing is that the fertility rate in the mainland has reached a new low. Not only are they reluctant to get married early, but many people prefer not to get married and not have children.
Young people who are reluctant to have children say that they are reluctant to have children, on the one hand, they are not ready to be parents, they feel that they are still children, and they cannot guarantee that they can raise their children to adulthood.
On the other hand, it is also limited by economic conditions. Most people say that they can't afford to have children, so they choose not to have children.
The older generation does not accept this reason, they think that if they can give birth, they will be able to afford it. This is because "raising children" in the eyes of the two generations is not the same concept, and there will be such a difference.
Nowadays, many young people have several siblings, and their parents said that in the past, people could raise several children, but now young people earn more and more, and it is not enough to raise a child?
If it is only to provide food and drink for the child to go to school, it is naturally enough. It's just that young people think that in addition to material life, there is also spiritual satisfaction, and raising children is to provide them with a good living environment, rather than eating and drinking enough.
It is precisely this difference in concepts that leads to the fact that the two generations cannot speak together and cannot convince each other. And the reluctance to get married is precisely because the divorce rate of people nowadays is getting higher and higher.
Today's young people are either unwilling to get married and have not met the right person, or they find that they are not suitable for each other after marriage, and they will immediately choose to divorce.
In recent years, the divorce rate in the country has been getting higher and higher. This generation of young people is deeply aware that marriage is not about completing the continuation of offspring, but for two people to have a better life together.
If two people are together but not as happy as one of them is together, it is better not to get married.
Many young people have fled their families because they can't bear the increasingly serious urging of the elders in their families to marry, and the older generation is not satisfied with the rebellion of young people now.
In order to make young people conform to their wishes, many parents have come up with their own theories and put forward what the experts say.
Unexpectedly, the young man directly said that the best advice from experts is not to advise. In addition to this, young people also have a more stable mentality, and they want to lie flat instead of involuting.
Today's times are different, and so is the employment environment. Young people realize that in this era of involution, it is difficult for them to roll up other people, and it is better to lie flat than to live so tormented.
In the eyes of the older generation, this is considered to be unenterprising and dissatisfied with the practices of young people. The gap between the two generations is widening, and there is no way to stop it.
Second, consumption changes
The first to feel the change in the social climate are the people who do business. These people include various small traders and real estate owners.
They are all keenly aware that business is getting harder and harder to do now. In recent years, people have become more and more reluctant to spend money.
During the epidemic, many people experienced the taste of running out of money, and their work was affected by the epidemic and it was difficult to complete it normally.
There are also people who can't pay their salaries because of internal problems in the company. Under the epidemic, all walks of life have not been able to return to their original vigor.
It is also this incident that makes everyone realize the importance of saving money, in case of an emergency, it will not be helpless, and it is really difficult to move an inch when there is no money.
Instead of spending money on unnecessary things, it is better to save money for emergency use. This has led to a great change in the concept of consumption, and many people have jumped out of the consumption trap.
They found that they could buy the same high-quality and inexpensive goods at a very low price as long as they didn't pursue some premium brands, which opened the door to a new world for them.
As a result, many brands of products with serious premiums have been drawn out of their shopping lists, and they have become more and more cautious in spending money.
In the past, it was more about the pursuit of enjoyment, and when you had money, you had to spend it, but now it is more about the pursuit of cost performance.
You can spend money, but you have to spend it where you go. And before spending money, you have to shop around, and you should never spend money that should not be spent.
Even in terms of travel mode, fewer and fewer people choose to take a taxi, and more people choose cheaper public facilities such as subways and buses.
The real estate industry is more affected, and the money it costs to buy a house is a lifetime savings for ordinary people.
Some people have been busy for most of their lives and can only save for a down payment and then slowly pay off the loan. During the epidemic, many people were unable to afford their mortgages because their income was affected.
This makes many people think twice before buying a house, is it really necessary to buy a house by themselves?
After all, for most people, a house is not a rigid need. Parents believe that even if they are married, they can live in a house with their children, and there is no need to buy a house.
If the child is not married, then there is no need to buy a house, after all, the house is enough to live in, and there is no need to spend too much money on it.
Young people are also finding it difficult for them to accept housing prices in big cities, so it is better to go home and live in a house with their parents.
The real estate industry has suffered an unprecedented downturn, and house prices have been declining, but everyone is still waiting to wait until the price is lower to buy.
A lot of people in business are very distressed and don't know how to get everyone back to the way they were. It is hoped that society can re-stimulate everyone's consumption and revitalize these industries.
3. Social change
In a way, the decrease in consumption is actually a decrease in everyone's income. If everyone's income does not fall but increases, they may be willing to spend money.
It's because the income is getting lower and lower, and it's getting harder and harder to find a job. It's not easy for everyone to save money, so they don't dare to spend it anymore.
College students who have graduated in the past two years can deeply understand this problem, and it is too difficult to find a job. A large number of graduates cannot find a job, so they can only do jobs that have nothing to do with their majors, with a monthly salary of two or three thousand.
This is not the ideal life of a college student, but there is no way to change it, and everyone can only live on these wages when various industries are in a recession.
People who have been working for many years also say that it is indeed becoming more and more difficult to find a job now. In the past, people often changed jobs, but now they are worried that they will not have a new job for them to choose from.
Or it's the same job, but the pay is getting lower and lower. After the entire industry shows such a state, everyone can only passively accept it.
In addition, there is a strange phenomenon in society as a whole, and that is that there are more and more people seeking stable jobs.
In the early years, many people felt that the wages of this kind of work were relatively low and there was not much room for growth.
After a few years of changes, everyone has a new understanding. Although the pay for these jobs is not very high, the pay is good.
Especially in some special cases, these jobs can be paid stably and unaffected.
In addition, the benefits behind these jobs are better and more humane. After thinking about it, everyone is naturally willing to choose such a job.
Therefore, there is such a phenomenon, everyone has to take the examination for a civil servant or career editor when they are crowded, and the number of applicants for these positions has surged.
However, in contrast, the current employment environment is sluggish. Many industries are taking pay cuts, and in this case, the salary after the cut is not much different from the salary of these positions.
At this time, the benefits of these jobs can be reflected, such as less work pressure, more rest time, good benefits, and not low wages, which everyone naturally likes.
However, many people with excellent conditions have also applied for the examination, which has formed a dimensionality reduction blow to the applicants, resulting in more and more serious involution in this industry, resulting in chaos in the industry.
At the same time, it also reminds everyone that the best job is always the most suitable job for yourself, and don't blindly follow what others do, otherwise there is a high probability that the bamboo basket will be empty.
epilogue
When people have had a different experience, they naturally show different attitudes in all aspects. These attitudes are embodied in every detail of life, and they will have a butterfly effect that will bring about change in the whole society.
Whether it is a change in consumption concept, a change in mentality, or a change in all walks of life, it will have a great impact on the whole society. This change cannot be judged as good or bad, what we can do is to adjust our mentality in time to adapt to the new environment.
