Generations

Change in political events has mainly been affected by different generations, simply because each and every generation change the way of rule, and thus leading to the turn of political events. For instance, the baby boomers, who were born after the World War II, came up with different ways of exercising politics. The approach that they used was against that of their parents and that of their grandparents (Craig & Bernett, 23). This therefore saw the turn of political events since baby boomers were quiet and they exercised their political roles in the very unique ways possible thus making their elders to worry about the leadership that had been brought to the universe. Baby boomers were often referred to as the silent ones, simply because they were very intelligent and educated. This gave them the powers to speak whenever they felt the need to do so and thus challenging the ruling and the governing authorities in the country. Moreover, baby boomers seemed to be more attracted to violence since the only option they could use in order to make sure that they air their grievances was through violence.

On the other hand, Generation x seemed to be a different lot which was mainly concerned with their desires ad not that of others. This therefore meant that they would do anything in order to be hard even if it meant holding deadly demonstrations against the government. Moreover, they had no specific direction in which they were heading (Craig & Bernett, 34). This consequently meant that they could only work according to the way the events favoured them. If the events were not moving according to the way they wanted, then they had to go against it and thus leaving the country in chaos.
