[Weekend Watch List] Ce definește o generație

E datoria fiecărei noi generații să pună la îndoială moștenirea primită, să se revolte și să nege valorile părinților, să schimbe lumea și să încerce să o facă mai bună. Așa cum ar spune Joe Cocker, e destinul copiilor să nu își asculte părinții. Tot la fel de firesc e ca celelalte generații să dea ochii peste cap, să nu înțeleagă, să ofteze și să deplângă lucrurile de pe vremea lor care au pierit. În spațiul acesta în care se negociază mereu prezentul, între ce au construit generațiile mai  vechi și ce vor să pună în loc cele noi, am strâns lista noastră de weekend. E despre generații. De la generația tăcută și baby boomers la millenials, generația X și noile Y și Z. Ce au ele în comun, ce le desparte, ce ar trebui să facă pentru a se întâlni la mijloc. 

The 1960s Was A Reaction To The '50s "Silent Generation"

 The speaker is Frithjof Bergmann the famed professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan. He was an articulate witness to the changes that took place in America and especially on universities in the 1960s. He went on to study blue-collar workers at the automobile plants in Michigan and developed a concept for work he called “new work”. He also wrote the popular books “On Being Free” and “The Experience Of Values”. I interviewed him in 1989 for my TV series looking at the 1960s. I remember at the time of the interview that virtually every answer he gave to my questions was fascinatingly unique.

The Vanishing American Adult

Why does it take so long to grow up today? | Jeffrey Jensen Arnett | TEDxPSU

 It takes so long to “grow up” today—finish education, find a stable job, get married—that it makes sense to think of it as a new life stage, emerging adulthood, in between adolescence and young adulthood. But why? Four revolutions of the 1960s and ‘70s explain it: the Technology Revolution that changed the economy and led to more education for longer than ever before; the Sexual Revolution that made it possible to have a sex life without marriage; the Women’s Movement that gave women an incentive to postpone marriage to pursue a career; and the Youth Movement, which gave adulthood a bad name. Older adults grumble that it takes “too long” to grow up today, but most people will be better partners and parents if they wait longer, so why not use most of the twenties for adventures you’ll never be able to have again?
