The Baby Boomer Generation

Baby boomers and millennials, are they oil & water or two peas in a pod? There have been large shifts in society and culture between when the baby boomers were born (1946-1964) and when the millennials were born (1981-1996). There are many factors that have influenced and molded each of these two generations such as technology, trends, debt and economy. Who exactly are millennials and baby boomers? What I know emphatically is that they both have strong opinions of one another. The Baby Boomers were promised the American Dream; they worked hard and are perceived as greedy and ambitious. Baby Boomers are “Perhaps the most influential generation in history, this “flower power” generation is known for their pivotal roles in the civil

As students, freshmen come into high school knowing that they are hated by every upperclassmen in the school, with the exception of some friends and possibly family. The freshmen don’t understand why they are disliked, and most of the upperclassmen can’t tell you why they despise the freshmen, except for some unproved responses such as: “They’re annoying”, or “They’re so immature”. This sequence occurs every year. As the freshmen turn into upperclassmen, they too develop a hate for the incoming freshmen. This relationship is common on a larger scale as well; older generations view the younger generations as annoying, dumb, and immature. Dealing with three generations today, we have the omniscient Baby Boomers (1946-1964), impious

Shopping: Shopping for the Baby Boomers would have been somewhat limited. The traditional Macy's experience would be about as dynamic as a Baby Boomer could get in terms of choices. If the local Sears didn't have what they needed, they'd have to go to a specialty store and take the number from the catalog, and if they were lucky, get the correct item ordered in about 4 - 6 weeks!

Before we can get into the juicy information pertaining to the fascinating period of Baby Boomers, we must first take a quick glance at what was happening before this occurred.The main event that came to a conclusion that had a significance to the world and is a recent and relevant topic to the Baby Boomer period was the end of World War II.World War II had been going on since 1939 when the Nazi army and the Soviet Union united invaded Poland, resulting in the British and French declaring war on Germany.The allies allow Hitler to commit illegal actions without deciding to go after him(they just sat and watch him invade and grow as the years went by).It seems over for the Allies until the Japanese decided to obliterate Pearl Harbor December

There are currently six living generations in the United States, each with different characteristics, beliefs, and values. The things that define each generation’s culture are derived from their history, upbringing, and the lifestyle of their time. Our generation was born between 1980 and 2000. We are called Millennials. More specifically, we grew up in the South, which typically lends itself to being more conservative and religious. These characteristics, along with our instant gratification attitude, define who we are, what we believe, and how we view other generations. For example, we might have differing views with the Silent Generation. Some Millennials may feel the Silent Generation’s social, religious, and economic conservatism is outdated.

When boomer demand slams into the market place, prices soar (until the fad passes). Nothing stops the baby-boomer. There is somewhat of a bright side to all the spending and boomer traffic. Being just a few steps ahead of the boomer can make an individual very well off if you know which way they are headed. Boomers have always acted this way. Still the largest generation in the United States has been shifting markets ever since the diaper and baby food industries in the late 1940's (Geoffery 59-64). Construction of elementary facilities exploded for municipal budgets—Los Angeles was spending $1 million a week on new schools in the mid-1960's (Geoffery 59-64). After that happened, the boomer moved on abandoning a huge amount of those facilities. When younger boomers wanted cars, the Mustang and Camaro were considered a phenomenon and as the boomer herd passed so did the sales. Suburban homes in beautiful areas were next since boomers were doing the family thing. Prices on suburban homes exploded in the 80's and as usual; when the boomer left, so did the sales.

The baby boomer generation will have tremendous impacts on health care as they continue to age and experience health issues. The impacts will show a significant financial difference in the very near future than what the impacts look like today for all health care organizations across the country. The baby boomer generation began between 1946 and 1964. Throughout the 18 year time span, over 76.4 million people were born. By 1964, this made up over 40 percent of the total US population. Today, this generation is between 53 and 73 years old and by 2020 there will be one and five people over the age of 65. As this time approaches and this generation becomes Medicare and

Financial elder abuse is a prominent issue in the world, and will continue to increase due to financial burdens the Millennials will face in their upcoming years. The fear of Social Security benefit reductions as well as the increase of college tuition prices, will add to future financial elder abuse incidents.

Following World War II, there was a major cultural shift throughout all of America, as society adjusted from living through the Depression and the War to newfound prosperity and opportunities. The country was thriving with new medical breakthroughs and technologies, as well as new forms of media spreading different ideas throughout the country like never before. This generation, created by the Baby Boom, had the freedom to do things their parents did not, and spend their free time on activities they wanted to. Without having to worry about working to help keep their family afloat or go to war, they were able to concentrate on art, music, sports and other materialistic aspects which has been the outline for our culture since that time. This transition caused the youth to create their own organizations and essentially their own society which looked completely different from anything America had seen in the past, this also created a lot of tension between the youth and their elders.

What if i were to ask you a question? What makes you capable to think about your answer? What do you think makes you capable of reading this paper? Do you remember learning skills you still use today like learning to talk or walk even think? What if i were to ask you to recall your favorite memory of your happiest or saddest day would you remember it clearly?

I 'll explain how that works and how the brain of a certain generation can affect everything even the economy

After World War 2 as soldiers returned home they were looking to settle down, start families and make up for lost years caused by the war. This became known as the baby boom which first began in Canada in 1947 and lasted until 1966, it started later and lasted a couple years longer compared to the United States. This baby boom not only effected Canada then but continues to effect the country today and into the future. The baby boom effected Canada in many different ways, starting with how Canada’s demographics drastically changed in the early years of the boom. Another change was the economy which blossomed and, whose target audience were mainly the Boomers. The baby boomers are still affecting Canada today as they

It is no surprise that our world and the people in it constantly change as time passes by. With new lifestyles, morals, technology, and many other changes, looking back on other generations and how the people lived might seem unusual. Two generations now that are living at the same time are the Baby Boomers and the Millennials. The Baby Boomers are people born from 1946 to 1964 in the post-World War II period. The Millennials are individuals born from 1977 to 2000. These dates are just approximate time periods of these generations because there are no precise years for these generations. The way these generations

There is an issue with diving into research of a specific group of individuals inside the economy. The baby boom generation is a wide variety of individuals with many positive and negative effects to the American economy since they have been a part of the workforce. Through this paper we will find the positive and negative effects on the economy. Also, we will look at the differentiation between the age groups to determine the overall effect of the baby boom generation in the present and does a majority leaving the workplace directly correlate to decline in the American economy.

Learning is something that defines the millennial generation. While some some may call us lazy, I’d say we care more about ourselves. We will question the social norms of working a job we don't like and job hop to find one that makes us happy because we know that the happier we are, the better we perform. That idea also shapes how we affect the world. We try to make entice change by having rallies, such as the Women’s Marches, and bringing awareness to issues, such as bullying and suicide, through our use of the internet because we know that happier people equal a better place for
