Generations is a 2023 book by Jean M. Twenge, a social psychologist and author of several books on generational differences. The book examines the different generations that have lived in the United States since the 1920s, and how the technologies and events of their time have shaped their values, beliefs, and behaviors. Twenge argues that each generation is unique, and that the differences between generations are not simply a matter of age. She cites a number of factors that contribute to generational differences, including the technologies that were dominant during their childhood, the major events they have experienced, and the economic and social conditions of their time. Twenge identifies five generations in the United States: the Silent Generation (born 1925-1942), the Baby Boomers (born 1943-1960), Generation X (born 1961-1981), Millennials (born 1982-2004), and Generation Z (born 2005-present). She argues that each generation has its own distinct set of values and beliefs, and that these differences can have a significant impact on society. For example, Twenge argues that Millennials are more individualistic and less trusting of authority than previous generations. She also argues that they are more likely to be tolerant of diversity and to believe in environmental protection. Generation Z, on the other hand, is more likely to be politically active and to be concerned about social justice issues. Generations is a well-researched and thought-provoking book that provides a comprehensive overview of the different generations that have lived in the United States. It is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the different ways that generations think and behave.
