Why Do Different Generations See American Identity Differently

I believe that Americans from different generations see American identities differently. I think that they see it differently because they grew up differently.

I saw a quote on Facebook that said ¨Protesting because human rights have been violated is acceptable. But rioting and protesting because you didn´t get your way is just crying¨. I read that and thought it made a perfect point. People are out there protecting our country while we cry and protest because we didn´t get our way.

I hope that answers the questions ¨Do americans from different generations see American identities differently? And
