Generation



Generation is the act of producing offspring, or reproduction. It is also the act of bringing something into being (such as electricity generation and cryptography code generation). A generation can also be a stage or degree in the succession of natural descent (such as grandfather, father, and son are three generations) or stages of successive improvement in the development of something, such as history of computing hardware. A generation can also represent all the people born at about the same time, called a generational cohort (see demographics). History hold differing opinions as to what extent dividing history into generations is useful or an improper over-generalization. William Strauss and Neil Howe in their book ''Generations (book)'' list the generations of America. Their definition of "generation" is as follows: A cohort-group (all persons born in a limited span of consecutive years) whose length approximates the span of a phase of life (about 22 years) and whose boundaries are fixed by peer personality (a generational persona recognized and determined by common age location, common beliefs and behavior, and perceived membership in a common generation). ==Related articles== * The Liberty Generation * The Republican Generation * The Compromise Generation * The Transcendental Generation * The Gilded Generation * The Progressive Generation * The Missionary Generation * The Lost Generation * The Interbellum Generation * The G.I.

Generation



The list of generations was not redundant because it doesn't exist anywhere else in wikipedia. And the definition of redundancy is it occurring more than once. If there was a list of generations page, obviously it would be redundant, but there isn't. In order to get to all of the generation pages, you have to go through each individual generations and see where they link. Even the ''Generations_(book)'' doesn't contain all of the generations, it just contains the generations that are in that book. Unless someone can find somewhere else that already has all the generations in a list, I'm putting it back. User:Ctachme 22:14, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
