Social Generations Theory

Social Generations Theory suggests that groups of people born around the same time share common experiences, values, and behaviors that shape their perspectives and how they view the world. These shared influences, such as major events or cultural shifts during their formative years, create distinct generational identities. Understanding these patterns helps explain differences in attitudes towards work, technology, and social issues among generations. It’s a way to recognize how collective experiences influence societal trends and individual behaviors without stereotyping.
