The Silent Generation

The Silent Generation refers to people born roughly between 1928 and 1945. They grew up during the Great Depression and World War II, which shaped theirvalues of hard work, discipline, and stability. Often seen as cautious and traditional, they tended to prioritize privacy and loyalty in their careers and personal lives. Despite being called "silent," they played a crucial role in building post-war prosperity and social change. Their experiences differ from earlier and later generations, making them a unique group with a lasting impact on society and culture.
