Dr. Jean Twenge: Generations
GENERATIONS: The Real Differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers and Silents—and What They Mean for the Future
Dr. Twenge’s talk – spiced with plenty of pop culture references and humor – takes a look at the forces that have shaped the five generations alive in the US today. Understanding the differences in work attitudes, behaviors, mental health, political views, and other factors can help build cohesion in multi-generational communities like Bay View.
