Generational Freedom
"Generational Freedom" investigates how Generation X(Baby Boomers), Generation Y(Millennials), and Generation Z view and experience freedom in connection to technology, societal change, and individual liberty within the Indian community. It explores how historical, political, and cultural elements influence how each generation feels freedom. By drawing attention to these changing viewpoints, Generational Freedom hopes to provoke discussion, develop understanding, and promote awareness of how aspects of freedom have changed and are still changing across generations in modern society.
