Seeing past generational labels

Mark Pierce

Have you ever identified with a generational label?

There’s “The Greatest Generation,” those who lived through the Great Depression and World War II. Then “The Baby Boomer Generation,” the children of “The Greatest Generation” who lived through the cultural changes of the ’60s and ’70s. And “Generation X and Y,” people in their 20s and 30s who have been described as both ambivalent and ambitious—the “Ys” especially having a penchant for technology.
