Generation X

two we take a look at various characteristics of Generation X and Generation starting with their backgrounds (Bolles, R. C. 1975). Review of the Literature Generation X Gen Xers learned independence early in life and turned it into a valuable hallmark as they progressed in the working world. Just as Gen Xers were about to hit the workforce to make their mark in the world, the economic decline at the end of the 1980s occurred.

Generation X Generation X also known as the baby bust generation is categorized for individual who were born from 1961-1979 (Dwyer, 2009). According to Foot and Stoffman (1998, p. 26), generation X is not a separate generation, but rather the concluding stages of the baby boom generation (as cited by Dwyer, 2009). Generation X was pushed toward adulthood at an age earlier than any other recent generation as they suffered the backlash from the world’s focus on Baby Boomers and their worldview was

The hottest topic of conversation is between two generations is superiority. The Generation X argues that Generation Y is getting everything in their plate without having to work for it. The millenials counter that by saying that technological know how is the need of the day and nobody survives bereft of that. This is what the older generations lacks and finds it difficult to cope with the times. Hence the millenials consider themselves better. But is this argument really valid? Are the criteria

They grew up during the Aids breakout, the fall of the Berlin Wall, Watergate and the end of the Cold War. This lead to them being Suspicious and cynical. People of this generation usually don’t trust too many people. You are considered being apart of the “Millennials” generation if you were born in the years of 1981-2000.

differences between the Generation X (1961-1981) and Generation Y (1981-2001). After reviewing several articles and identifying the important information, it has been summed up in one paper. It includes, growing up in different eras and how they compare and contrast. As well as, what it was like to learn in those era’s, meaning mostly how has technology advanced our learning programs and teaching techniques. The reader will also find how it is to work with the different generations of people, more importantly

coworkers in multiple generations. The four generations that are currently in the workforce are the Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y. Currently, the Baby Boomers and Generation Y make up the majority of employees in the workforce. There is great diversity between the generations in terms of what motivates them to perform well at work, attitudes about work, causes of conflict in the workplace, and communication in the workplace.

The Silent Generation were born 1930-1945, the Baby Boomers were 1946-1964, Generation X was 1965-1979 and Generation Y or the Millennials were born from 1980-2000. (Devaney, 2015). Each generation has different traits attributed to them based on the differences of the environment they were raised in and what the work force was like when they entered it. Generation grew up

when it comes to learning. The key to being able to appeal to each of the different generations is to offer diversity in teaching styles in order to satisfy the different preferences. As of now, there are four generations that are in the workforce and those four generations are: The Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and the Millennials. This paper will examine the characteristics of these four generations, how their learning styles differ, and what to

Generation X by Douglas Coupland reveals the struggles of the post-baby boomer generation in asserting themselves as conventionally successful members of society.
