Introduction The world of the so-called Baby Boomer (born between 1946 and 1964) is a world of constant change and uncertainty. This segment of people, like all segments of people, operates and evaluates life through a unique lens or culture. Kory Floyd defines culture as ―[T]he learned, shared symbols, language, values, and norms that distinguish one group of people from another.‖1 Therefore, Baby Boomers see and experience the world in a way that is unique from other segments of society. Understanding
Growing up as a millennial, I have always looked to the works of the baby boomers. Not only have the baby boomers paved the way for my generation, but they have also laid a foundation.

(Lauren, p.64) This less-than-flattering description of our generation has since been expanded by the media to the point that myself and my peers are described as a bunch of apathetic slackers unconcerned with family values, godless cynics resentful

This was the beginning of the so-called “baby boom.” In 1947, another 3.8 million babies were born; 3.9 million more in 1952, and more than 4 million were born every year from 1954 to 1964, when
Millennials VS Baby Boomers The Millennials Gen Y and Baby Boomers Gen X are two different generations. Proponents and Opponents both argue: How are they different? Baby Boomers believe that traditional structure, hard work, monetary success, is an essential way of life. In contrast the Millennials simply don’t agree, nor are they going to comply.
