Baby boomer

the Baby Boomers are often looked upon as the “hippies”, love children, and peaceful protesters (not to mention avid drug users). While these statements are typically true of the Baby Boomers, another thing instantly comes to mind when they are brought up: Woodstock. Woodstock was a 3-day festival that occurred in Bethel, New York in August of 1969 with nearly half a million attendees. Famed for its stellar lineup and notorious amounts of drug use, Woodstock was a pivotal moment in Baby Boomer,…

an interesting period in time. We actually have about 4 different generations currently in our work force. Each of these groups were raised in different households with different standards and different ethics. While each group (your veterans, baby boomers, generation x’s and millennials) have a lot of the same attributes in the workplace, you have many different characteristics that define each generation as their own. While there are lists and lists of differences, I believe that you can dumb…

surrounding the cohorts, Masnick defines the Baby Boomer cohort as the generation with birthdates ranging from 1945-64, Generation X (“Baby bust”) as the generation with birthdates from 1965-84, and Generation Y (Millennials or “Eco boom”) as the generation with birthdates from…

people living with depression, alcohol abuse, people based on societal approval and anxiety but can the issues baby boomers have be paralleled with those of Generation Z? There are many causes of depression for all people. Both generations being discussed are full of people who have mental issues that are caused by paralyzing depression.

the last 10 years would have been a lot less stressful if my parents were around to fall back on, but I made it on my own and I am thankful for the values and responsibilities they taught me in my teenage years. Growing up with parents from the Baby Boomer generation, they have taught me to live with what you have and to make the most of it. I didn’t get to experience the boomerang effect that Rosie Evans describes in her…

next subculture Ms. Reimer and I discussed also came after a period of war, but had a very different focus than the scandalous flappers. This was the tail end of the Greatest Generation, who gave birth to America’s next powerful subculture: the Baby Boomers, who were children and teens raised in the relatively harmonious 1950s. As in the 1920s, this era followed a horrific world war, but this time “people knew they had to grow up” said Reimer, “and they did this by buttoning up.” One side effect…

They are also known as the baby bust. In this day in age, the generation x had to witness the aftermath of Vietnam War, the Regan presidency, the AIDS epidemic, the end of the Cold War, the Y2k scare, and September 11, 2001 attack of the World Trade Center. They basically grew up in a political and social environment in which it consistently kept changing throughout their times. The characteristics of a baby buster were considered to be self-reliant, autonomy, cautious…

As I compare myself to my 65 year-old father, I have noticed some striking differences based on our generations, a type of birth cohort which is named and typified. My father is a part of the Baby Boomers generation who benefits the greatest financially, where that generation is most affluent, whereas the millennials are the poorest because we are inheriting all the debt from older generations. I think it is interesting to see how the brain thinks differently between a younger and older…

stay young can be seen in the baby boomers. Baby boomers have been lonely known for their desire to stay young or at least act young (Greenblatt). They are able to stay young because of the amount of time they get outside for recreation time, and along with their leisure time which is mostly spent in nature. “Many boomers feel younger than their parents did at the same age, and that's just not their imaginations - or their consumer patterns” (Greenblatt). These boomers are even raising the life…
