Generations Explained: Understand Generational Cycles in just 10 Minutes
If you are struggling to understand the effects of generations on our society, this basic primer will give you a grounding for further research. Delivered in a fast-paced 10 minute video that explains each of the living generations and where they are headed
You have heard of Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials and perhaps even the Silent and GI Generations. But do you know how they are fundamentally different from each other? Each holds specific values, particularly around what they believe is an ideal society. This 10 minute video is a basic primer on the current living generations and how to understand their cycles.

thanks for the 10min sess david. good to hear yr voice again. mmm i’ll have to think about it..my first responseis how useful is this but i think all info is useful. it’s just the weight u put on it. obviously what colours first is the anglo – afro differences then class and then ethnicity eg the values of US latino migrants entering the states in the last 20 years . and especially the spanish speaking cohort in california how that will tilt the the mean views of a generation. does this general analysis betray it’s aglo centric roots or does it move beyond. mmmm big hugs tony

Tony,
Great to hear from you. There are confounding factors for the generational research, but it definitely does cross between ethnic lines in the United States. Thanks for giving me an idea for a future post!
I hope you are doing well down under. Let me know if you are up this way in the future!

Excellent work, David. Well done. The visuals will assist a lot of people in understanding the theories of Strauss & Howe’s generational theories.
If their theories predict so much, then, they are extremely relevant. I struggled with their theories until I transformed them into visuals. You’ve taken it to the next level and put it in a video. Perfect.
Take care,

Jim,
Thanks! I really like your website. I think that Strauss and Howe’s ideas are really powerful and I agree that visuals help get the information across more clearly.
Thanks,
Dave

Hey Dave !
Well, you post so many things on the facebook thing that I finally ended up looking at your
GenX website and at this little video. I confirm that you’re not an “artist” archetype person: I
can tell that there is no ideal in the way you painted the little papers you used on the video…
the only importance was efficiency and clarity. Well, after all that can be an ideal by itself isn’t it ?
Anyway, I have many questions about this topic but I guess I should first read carefully your website.
Hope you’re doing all right in California, and keep juggling !
Hope to see you again next fall.
