I call my parent's generation "the lost generation".
They were born, raised, passed their adulthood in an tumultuous revolutionary and ever-shifting era that is disruptive from thousands years old highly civilized tradition. Inhumanity and conflict was the norm at their time. Now they are all in retirement.
All back to normal with my generation. Only we could no long go back to tradition, thus we embraced western way of life.
I especially observed women from that time. They tend to exhibit larger-than-life attitude. More likely in family setting, they tend to be aggressive, take control, especially they magnify their pettiness or, to put in another way, they acting out their inner mood swing righteously and uncontrollably, and push to prevail this outburst in a lion roar to overpower everyone present.
This happens mostly in the walls of her family. When stepping out of home, they can be most agreeable, humble, generous, put on a socially acceptable mask. But when in conflit situation, they were like a fierce lion attacking verbally and physically. Because propaganda was at work, which bombarded their mind with slogans of fighters voluntarily give up their lives for the cause.
I grew up seeing countless such examples.
I tried to figure out what factors has driven them to form such typical attitude. I found in their years of education, or lack of it, their mind were influenced and shaped primarily by the authority 's propaganda, which called to be assembled and engaged in political activities, and in light of which, they step over the line by destroy, loot other people's properties, even taking lives.
