Corona generation
When we look back on history, every generation experienced social events which changed their life. For baby boomers (now 56~74 years old), they are the Vietnamese war and the civil rights movement. For X generations (40~55 years old), it is the AIDS disaster. For millennials (24~39 years old), the 2008 financial crisis had a big impact on their career. The big social shifts such as the policy of apartheid are likely to cause generation gaps between youth and upper generations. Why does this happen? Because experiencing big events while they mold their character effects on their identity and sense of values. And for Z generations (5~23 years old), the pandemic of Covid-19 will be a memory that effects on their life in some form throughout their life. They are called “corona generation” on twitter. Nobody knows how their sense of values will be like.

The cCorona generation
When we look back on history, [we see that/it's clear that/etc.] every generation experienced social events which that changed their life lives. For baby boomers (now 56~74 [we don't use ~ ... you should use a dash (-) for date ranges] years old), they are it was [1. "They" is confusing here because you've just been talking about the baby boomers. I would say "It"--it being understood that I'm referring to an example of one such "social event". 2. I would use the past tense because the events occured in the past.] the Vietnamese war Vietnam War and the civil rights movement. For X generations Generation X [or "Gen X"] (40~55 years old), it is was the AIDS disaster crisis/epidemic [we normally don't say "disaster" in the context of a health crisis]. For millennials (24~39 years old), the 2008 financial crisis had a big impact on their careers. The big Major [1. Omit "the" here, because we are talking about social changes generally. 2. "Big" sounds a bit too simple in this context.] social shifts [or "changes" (sounds better to me)] such as the policy of apartheid are likely to cause generation gaps between the younger youth and the upper older generations. Why does this happen? Because experiencing big [again, "major"/"significant" etc] events while they mold their character during a pivotal period of one's life [you can't really mold your own character--an event or other external factor molds your character. So here you can't use this construction. Instead you could say something like what I've written, which I think is what you mean] effects has an impact on their one's identity and sense of values. And for Z generations Generation Z (5~23 years old), the pandemic of Covid-19 will be a memory that eaffects on their lifelives [or I would just say "affects them", but that's a stylistic choice] in some form throughout their life lives. They are called the “corona generation” on twitter Twitter. Nobody knows how what their sense of values will be like ["like" is optional here; I would not use it myself].
