Class on April 2nd

Today we talked about the sort of wave like value change of people over time. Those born in the 1920’s began life in a depression. At time when homes were being taken away, and a time when coffins weren’t an uncommon site to see on street sides. Disease was taking lives and many of these 20’s born would go on to fight and die in wars. When WWII ended, they were ecstatic and returned to…well, become known as baby boomers. (Tugs at collar) Their values at this point took a swift change. We were told they turned conservative around the 50’s. This was the time when many of their children were growing up. According to the wave like pattern we were given in class their children would be totally opposite as them. Naturally it seems, the children would be in a sort of rebellious stage of life at a time when their parents aren’t going to be in the mood to tolerate it.
