Our Generation has had no Great war, no Great Depression. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Great War proved how confused the world is. Depression is proving it again.
Each generation seems to invent its own reasons for war.
The generation which lived through the Second World War is disappearing. Post-war generations see Europe's great achievements - liberty, peace and prosperity - as a given.
Every generation has a macabre notion that wars, government prohibition, natural disasters or mankind itself could be the downfall of society and the world as a whole.
From a generation that came of age during the Great Depression, millions of our country's best and bravest took up arms in a worldwide struggle against tyranny.
My generation was the tail end of the Cold War.
War is devastating, and it leaves its scars for generations.
World War II brought the Greatest Generation together. Vietnam tore the Baby Boomers apart.
The greatest generation was formed first by the Great Depression. They shared everything - meals, jobs, clothing.
Our generation was born during the turmoil following the First World War. That war marked the dividing line - at least for the Western World - between the comfortable security of the 19th century and the instability and flux of our own time.
