WHO are WE? The characteristics of every living generation

How do you define a generation?  Think about it.

What do you think of when you hear the term baby boomers, millennials or any other generation?  They bring to mind a specific group of people who share a common set of characteristics.

Competitive, selfish, innovative?  Oh those are Baby Boomers,

Lazy, self-entitled, environmentally conscious?  Got to be Millennials.

Anxious, unfocussed and multi-tasking?  You’re talking GenZ.

Every generation has certain characteristics that have been ascribed to them. But is there any truth to these descriptions?  Listen to what sociologist Lisa Strohschein says!
