Common Mistakes People Make with Generational Theory

[JasonBlack]

Quote:In recent times, definition of youth by culture and mores defined generations. Kids need only reach their late teens to be so defined. Achieving professional and economic adulthood takes much more time Culture may have defined adulthood from at the latest at the least the Lost up to Boomers. Thus the Lost get 18 years of youth, GI's 24, the Silent 19, Boomers 18, and X 21.

They may be defined during their late teens, but, as most people who have interacted with teenagers well know, that identity usually isn't stable until closer to 20-22, with one's political beliefs tending to be formed mostly between, say, 18-24.
