Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Quote The generation before the baby boomers was the Silent Generation, which includes people born between 1928 and 1945. The Silent Generation is also known as the Traditionalist Generation. Explanation The term "Silent Generation" was first used in a 1951 Time magazine article. The article described the generation as "still, small flame" in comparison to the "Flaming Youth" of their parents. The Silent Generation is known for being conformist and civic. They were children of the Great Depression and World War II. The Silent Generation is sometimes called the "Lucky Few" because they were well positioned to take advantage of economic opportunities. The Silent Generation is characterized by: Teamwork Sacrifice Respect for authority Following directions Patriotism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 lets see - i grew up as a boomer , those born to the greatest generation , i first heard and lived with that nomenclature of the silent majority , because we let our politians run roughshod over our wishes and rights , also the "news" media of those times started thinking they were above reporting the favcts and decided they were god and we should all listen to them as gospel , truth is i was always a thinking person - i dont believe it just because they said it or printed it - contrary to popular belief , i believed the american public was not stupid sheep following everything they said and swallowing it all , I WAS WRONG HERE , so yes im a boomer , i remember all the BS , i no longer trust our press to give us facts without opinion , if any other gen - millenial , X Y Z whatever thinks they are special they can forget that , they are what they make themselves and im not holding my breath so far , AND I DO NOT CARE WHAT THEY CALL THE NEXT ONE , show some backbone pave the way for a better world and ill think about recognizing you as special , those before me did and we did , so far everything since has not offered much to society from my perspective , make a list - prove me wrong .................please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
