-What are some of the factors that influence a generation?
1. Culture –
What are the cultural outputs of an era? Who were the greatest music artists, the best actors / actresses, the best movies, the fashion icons.? All these aspects tell us a lot about what a generation stands for; what they cared about, and how they wanted to be seen.
2. Social–
What are the social structures, especially the family and parenting styles, both have a huge effect on who we are. In the United States, family structures have evolved throughout the years: from the prevalent nuclear family that most Baby Boomers are familiar with to today’s multi family structures that include nuclear, blended, multi-generational, and single parent households.
3. Economy –
Economic booms and busts always had a huge influence on attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of a generation.
4. Political –
The political context is also a significant factor especially if it includes extreme events like wars or wild card events like terrorist attacks. Think Vietnam war for Baby Boomers, or September 11th for the Millennials. These events are not only memorable but also play a major role in how a generation views the government and its actions. Trust is another dimension we carefully consider in generational research.
5. Technology –
Constantly evolving, technology always puts its mark on a generation. It influences every aspect of our lives including communication, mobility, learning, and so on… each generation has a few major technologies that shape their behaviors and lifestyle.
