Abstract

This article delves into the impact of cosmopolitanism on Generation Z, a cohort born into a digitally connected world. It explores how cosmopolitanism influences the perspectives and behaviors of this generation, while proposing strategies grounded in Qur’ānic principles to address these changes. The aim is to elucidate the cognitive disparities between Generation Z and their societal norms, effectively navigating their cosmopolitan shifts. Employing Generational Theory and Social Identity Theory, the article adopts a descriptive-analytical approach. Key challenges identified for this generation include identity crises, diversity and inclusivity, individualism, unrealistic expectations, and increasing dissatisfaction. By dissecting these issues, the article seeks to foster a deeper understanding of Generation Z's mindset and offer guidance on how to navigate the evolving cultural landscape.
