Gen Z, Moral Lesson, Classic Short StoriesAbstract
This study explores the enduring power of classic short stories to instill moral values in Generation Z (Gen Z) through stories. A comprehensive database of classic narratives is compiled, each accompanied by its moral lesson and accessible sources for further exploration. Spanning various themes such as duty, humility, greed, sacrifice, friendship, and compassion, these stories offer timeless insights into human nature and ethical dilemmas. Despite their age, these narratives remain remarkably relevant, transcending generational boundaries and resonating with contemporary audiences. By engaging with classic short stories through online platforms and digital adaptations, Gen Z can immerse themselves in rich narratives that prompt critical thinking, empathy, and moral reflection. Through this exploration, the study underscores the enduring significance of classic short stories as vehicles for ethical education, cultural heritage preservation, and personal growth across generations.
