How do you define a generation? Think about it.
What do you think of when you hear the term baby boomers, millennials or any other generation? They bring to mind a specific group of people who share a common set of characteristics.
Competitive, selfish, innovative? Oh those are Baby Boomers,
Lazy, self-entitled, environmentally conscious? Got to be Millennials.
Anxious, unfocussed and multi-tasking? You’re talking GenZ.
Every generation has certain characteristics that have been ascribed to them. But is there any truth to these descriptions? Listen to what sociologist Lisa Strohschein says!
