Having studied in detail the work of scientists, you can tell about the last 4 generations, which we often encounter today.
In 1991, the generational theory was created by American scientists Neil Howe and William Strauss. According to her, every 20–25 years a new generation of people is born with character traits, habits and characteristics that distinguish them from the background of all the others and then are repeated in future generations.
Having studied in detail the work of scientists, you can tell about the last 4 generations, which we often encounter today.
Hove and Strauss gave the name and characterization for each of the generations, starting as early as 1433. However, we are interested in representatives of the last four generations, whom we often meet today and who can easily fit into one conditional family: the youngest is Vanya (generation Z), his older sister (generation Y), Vanya's dad (generation X) and grandmother (generation Baby Boomers). We will tell you about each in more detail.
Generation Baby Boomers
Dates of birth: 1943 to 1963
Grandma is 72 years old. Several times a week she goes to the pool, visits the spa salons, bakes incredibly delicious pies, feels energetic and healthy.
Granny's generation is called Baby Boomers.
It got this name because of the post-war surge in the birth rate. Representatives of this generation have a high level of patriotism. These people are optimists, team spirit and collectivism are inherent in them. It is important for them to help each other, to work together and together.
They know how to do almost any manual job:
excellent cook, sew, fish, educated and well versed in many sciences. Many of the boomers are active, going to fitness centers, mastering gadgets and traveling. And they, we repeat, are distinguished by enviable health and energy.
Generation X
Dates of birth: from 1963 to 1984
Dad is 47 years old. He has been with a renowned construction company for over 20 years. He started from the lowest position, and now holds the post of deputy director. He is hardworking, responsible, and likes to do all the difficult work himself.
Papa Vanya is a prominent representative of Generation X.
Generations of singles dedicated to hard work and personal success. These are people who, from childhood, were accustomed to independence: they did their homework, got ready for school, cooked lunch for themselves and did most of the tasks without outside help.
Generation X people tend to are distinguished by their global awareness, technical expertise and independence in almost everything. Most often, they prefer to work for 30-40 years in the same organization, accumulating experience and rising from the lowest level to bosses and directors.
Generation Y (or Generation "Millennium")
Dates of birth: 1984 to 2004
Older sister Vanya is 23 years old. She is studying abroad, she has thousands of followers on Facebook, and often visits new cafes, parties and art exhibitions with her friends. She is a Generation Y, or Millennial.
Millennials are people who are often referred to as the "social media generation."
The environment around them has changed incredibly quickly, which is why millennials are not like their parents. Prestigious work and career growth are not for them. They are not ready to work for one company for many years, prefer flexible hours and immediate reward for the work done.
As a rule, these are energetic people who easily adapt, know how to do work in huge volumes, constantly strive for new knowledge and development. They understand that time moves quickly, so they do not want to be a narrow specialist, but develop in different areas at the same time.
Generation Z
Dates of birth: 2004 to present
Vanya himself is 15 years old. He uses all possible gadgets. Knows everything about trends, the Internet and virtual reality. In the future he wants to become a developer of computer games.
He is the latest generation Z.
These are children who not only grew up with the Internet, but were born with an Instagram account and can no longer imagine life without digital technologies. They are not used to physical labor and are not used to figuring out how it works. Obsessed with self-expression and self-development.
Gen Z people have a built-in immunity to advertising because they have been used to it since childhood. They don't worship brands. It is important for them that the product is environmentally friendly and, most importantly, useful, which will develop them as a person.
As Vanya himself likes to repeat, "it will soon be that all things, right down to the entrance mat, are smart, and only you are stupid in the house." And in some ways he is right. The line between real and virtual life is almost erased for the new generation.
What generation will be after Gen Z?
In fact, it is too early to talk about this, because it is still unclear how the last generation will grow up. Although sociologists can suggest something.
Generation Z already surpasses the previous generation in speed and development. People of this generation learn faster, interact better with technology, and learn new skills.
The speed of technology development is growing, so we can only assume that the next generation will be even smarter, adapt faster and completely get rid of all racial, ethnic, gender and other stereotypes in all spheres of life.
