Lessons for a new generation in a new world | Sanchay Gupta | TEDxGIIS Dubai

My exploration of the modern 'Pandemic of Validation Craving' serves to reflect our generation's relentless obsession with trends, brands and social media approval and how it has trapped us in a cycle of comparison and 'Doomshopping.' It critiques how society prioritizes looks and links respect to possessions, showing how even phones can shape our social interactions. Finally, it highlights practical spending and self-awareness strategies like identifying the trigger for your Impulse spending and FOMO and switching back to cash to make most purchases, and suggests embracing individuality to build true self-worth. I am an inquisitive 15-year-old coming from GEN-Z, interested in everything about science, satellites and the human mind. My speech focuses on my observations about people and ongoing trends, specifically on the rise of over-obsession/craze, show-off culture and how it affects the different stakeholders in society. Moreover, I will also discuss about how setbacks are a strategic advantage towards living a more meaningful life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
