Overview

As each decade closes and another begins, comments and thoughts continue about what makes a generation unique. Understanding what each generation has experienced helps when interacting with others. Educational techniques, community social gatherings, and acceptable basic behaviors are different for each generation. Statistics, historical events, and changes in verbiage are just pieces of the defining characteristics of each birth cohort. For example, when stories of Generation X were first told, they were high on drama but low on facts.
