In 1991, William Strauss and Neil Howe published their book, Generations, about cycles in American history and how these affect different age cohorts differently. Baby boomers, Gen X, the Millennial Generation -- how are these groups different? The ideas have been used in politics, organizational understanding, and even such diverse fields as educational planning and advertising.
Jone Johnson Lewis, NoVES Leader, will outline the ideas of this cultural theory, and look at some ways it might shed some light on ethical issues of the day. She'll also ponder its insights into our own movement's history and on how we might build our own Ethical Societies to address the issues that are important to our current members and members of the future.
In last spring's service auction, a member of NoVES picked this topic for Jone to address sometime during this year -- knowing that Jone had also found read this book and found it interesting.
