Good afternoon saints,
We'd like to show our appreciation to the Grand Ave Church of Christ who partnered with Palomar to host our "Generations" workshop.
The idea behind this workshop is to recognize the generations and how they were impacted by various events, how they communicated, what values did they hold and how we can better understand one another.
In this workshop, we examined different era's and noted some of the cultural, historical and religious influences that can possibly impact the way each group views contemporary issues with the idea being to foster better understanding and communication.
We observed the following:
The silent Generation (1928-1945)
- References: The Great Depression, World War II
The Baby Boomers (1946-1964)
- References: Civil Rights, War in Vietnam, Sexual Revolution,
the fall of the Berlin wall, the Drug Era (L*D, He**in, etc.,).
Generation 'X' (1965-1980)
- References: MTV, Divorce, Challenger Space Craft, Soul Train,
Music, MLK and Malcom X, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson,
The (Lunar) Moon Landing.
Generation 'Y' or Millennials (1981-1996)

Social Media.
Generation 'Z' (1997-2010)

Social Media, School Shootings. Fewer kids playing outside, etc.,
