Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baby Boomers are the largest and most powerful generation in American history—and they aren’t going away any time soon. They are, on average, whiter, wealthier, and more conservative than younger generations. They dominate cultural and political institutions and make up the largest slice of the electorate. Generational conflict, with Millennials and Generation Z pitted against the aging Boomer cohort, has become a media staple. Older and younger voters are increasingly at odds: Republicans as a whole skew gray-haired, and within the Democratic Party, the left-leaning youth vote propels primary challengers. The generation gap is widening into a political fault line. Kevin Munger marshals novel data and survey evidence to argue that generational conflict will define the politics of the next decade. He examines the historical trends that made the Baby Boomers so consequential and traces the emergence of age-based political and cultural divisions. Boomers continue to prefer the media culture of their youth, but Millennials and Gen Z are using the internet to render legacy institutions irrelevant. These divergent media habits have led more people than ever to identify with their generation. Munger shows that a common “cohort consciousness” binds aging Boomer voters into a bloc—but a shared identity and purpose among Millennials and Gen Z could topple Boomer power. Bringing together expertise in data analysis and digital culture with keen insight into contemporary politics, Generation Gap explains why the Baby Boomers remain so dominant and how quickly that might change.

Book excerpt: Based on data collected for the Generation Gap Survey in Shanghai and updated to take into account contemporary trends, this book uses an empirical approach to study the generation gap in China. It covers various aspects of life from professional and family life to political participation and belief systems, analysing and comparing the values held by four different generations. Encompassing more than 2000 case studies and drawing on a wealth of fieldwork interviews, in particular it examines the experiences, thoughts and perceptions of adolescents, young adults, the middle-aged, and the elderly. As the largest sociological survey ever conducted regarding attitudes and value changes by different age groups in Shanghai, it highlights how social change and globalization have impacted on new generations, and the results indicate the dramatic difference and supersession of social ideologies between the generations. A unique piece of research, shedding light on a changing Chinese society, China’s Generation Gap will be of huge value to students and scholars of Chinese culture and society, Chinese social policy, globalisation and cultural studies.
Download or read book Youth Culture and the Generation Gap written by Gerhard Falk and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Youth Culture is certainly dominant in the world, and the United States is its champion. Has this cultural emphasis widened the generation gap, or is it just a natural by-product of the generational differences that exist in all societies? Is the generation gap such a problem as the media makes it out to be? The authors contend that, in fact, most of today's youngsters have a great deal of sympathy for their parents and share their values. But, the youth culture seeks to overcome the identity problem all adolescents face. As an expert in sociology of youth, the author explores this phenomenon and the development of a youth culture in the U.S., as well as its manifestations in daily life from recreation and music to dress codes and status games. The book is illustrated with case histories taken from the author's private practice. The book compares the competing influences of peers and parents, discusses homeless migrants, hippies, punks and rockers, and considers sex, language, cliques, gangs and reference groups.

Download or read book Mind the Gap written by Alliance for Clinical Education and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in history there are four or five generations interacting regularly in society and in the workplace. Sociology and popular culture call them Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. While intergenerational differences have always been present, the likelihood that someone may be interacting with, working with, or supervising individuals three generations distant is becoming more commonplace. Our goal is to raise awareness of the impact of generational issues on medical education and to help medical educators, trainees, supervisors, and employers understand how the different generations learn, work, interact with patients, and lead.

And all chapters and entries include references and resource lists. The Encyclopedia has been developed for maximum utility to clinicians, social workers, researchers, and public health professionals working with older adults. Its multidisciplinary coverage and scope of topics make this volume an invaluable reference for academic and public libraries.
