Can we really define a generation? What of the challenge in representing all aspects of what defined a generation.
"Generational analysis has a long and distinguished place in social science, and we cast our lot with those scholars who believe it is not only possible, but often highly illuminating, to search for the unique and distinctive characteristics of any given group.But we also know this is not an exact science. We are mindful that there are as many differences in attitudes, values, behaviors, and lifestyles within a generation as there are between generations. But we believe this reality does not diminish the value of generational analysis; it merely adds to its richness and complexity."(Wikipedia)

RiFT : The Perpetuality Of Our Nature
Numerous societies around the world appear to be separating into two relatively vague but opposing sides -- The Left and The Right. Over the past number of years, this divide seems to be manifesting further, faster, and with greater intensity. So much so that these culture wars are now becoming one of the main topics that many people are thinking about, talking about, and in efforts to solve said issue, are even starting to fight about. Why are we dividing more rampantly now than in the last few decades? Will these cultural rifts be more helpful or harmful to future generations? Should we embrace the direction we're headed in, or slow things down, turn them around, and look to close the gap? Written from a personal and philosophical point of view, I have provided opinion-based answers to the questions above, as well as a few others which I propound to be the most imperative for us to now consider. I have also outlined what is seemingly exacerbating our current divide, what I theorize to be an optimal direction to keep the bow of our ship headed towards, and my illation to certain conclusions and recommendations which I believe could help us along this uncharted path.Complete
