The how and why of generations -- Silents (born 1925-45) -- Event interlude: the AIDS epidemic -- Boomers (born 1946-1964) -- Event interlude: 9/11 and the New War -- Generation X (born 1965-1979) -- Event interlude: The Great Recession and its aftermath -- Millennials (born 1980-1994) -- Event interlude: The COVID-19 Pandemic -- Generation Z (born 1995-2012) -- Polars (born 2013-2029) -- The future.
The United States is currently home to six generations of people, spreading over the course of the last century. They have had vastly different experiences and often have vastly diverging beliefs and behaviors. Twenge explores what those differences are, what causes them, and how deep they actually run. Are we truly defined by historical events, or is it the rapid evolution of technology that differentiates the generations? -- adapted from jacket
