Class topic for April 03, 2014 Generations


Going back in time a bit, the last several generations.

The Lost Generation

First they had to go to war



Then they started the jazz age


Complete with prohibition



 And mobsters



And then the dust bowl



And the Great Depression.



The Greatest Generation

The WPA got the country back to work



And gave kids extra help


Then the men went to war in Europe



And the pacific


While women went to work




Then they built suburbia




The Silent Generation

Too young for the wars



Too young for jazz



They created rock and roll instead



Became Beatniks



And inspired the hippies.


The Baby Boomers

Grew up with reassuring images of the family with Father Knows Best



and Leave it to Beaver




So they said 'Hell with it!" and became hippies.


And then whiny self-absorbed yuppies (which is why everybody hates them)




Generation X

Popular culture from their childhood


And their adolescence


No wonder they're messed up.



And look to each other for support




The Millenials

Had a different kind of childhood with parents who are a little too clingy




And give them too much help



So they're more comfortable with technology than with people.


The Homeland Generation

So far they hardly know anyone besides their parents



This will not turn out wel....
