Rebels against the elder-built world and against the generation before it.
(Think X>Boomer and Millennial>X)
Redirects society towards its own inclinations.
Each Generation
1. Solves the problems facing the prior youth generation (Millennial>X)
2. Corrects for the behavioral excess it perceives in current midlife generation (Millennial>Boomer)
3. Fills the social role being vacated by the departing elder generation (Millennials>G.I.)
Each Generation
Is shaped by their surroundings and by the generations with which they interact.
While being born becomes history, and as they age they make history.
Each Generation
Social Moment - a brief period of time when people perceive historical events to radically alter their social environments.
1. Secular Crisis - when society focuses on reordering the outerworld of institutions and social behavior.
2. Spiritual Awakening - when society focuses on changingthe inner world of values and personal behavior.
Types of History
1. Idealist - encounters a spiritual awakening in rising adulthood and a secular crisis entering elderhood.
2. Reactive - encounters a spiritual awakening entering youth,and a secular crisis entering midlife.
3. Civic - encounters a secular crisis entering rising adulthood, and a spiritual awakening entering elderhood.
4. Adaptive - encounters a secular crisis entering youth,and a spiritual awakening entering midlife.
