Baby Boomers Generation

There was a reluctance to have children before the Second World War started. The Great Depression during that time decreased the finances of the family and in fact most of the adults were reluctant to bring out new children into this world with those terrible situations. When the World War II ended, it changed the point of view and in the start of 1946, there was a real flourishing of birth of more than millions of children. Over the exact years of the Baby Boom some disagreement raised up but most of the researchers agreed that on the years between 1946 and 1964 as the benchmark for those individuals called a “Boomer.” If this was a defining generation period for the Vietnam War, then the boom could end in 1955 and afterwards those who were born that year would not be old enough to be outlined and worked and assisted in the battle. No matter what will the time frame is, those individuals born during the years of Baby Boomer have seen and cooperated in several changes and certain amongst these people have the desire to do things on their way. Many of the baby boomers nowadays want to continue in changing the effects on what they did their whole working life. In 1960’s war protest and the 1950’s music migration of this group researched and experienced many things right in to their lives and if and when they even didn’t understand many of theses views, they simply turn many ideas as they can. Baby boomers are the generation to take things lying down. Medical researches that have been conducted recently may bring out a key role in the attitudes of these boomer individuals. Boomers are living longer because of the advancement of medical technology in the present, and eventually they are not willing to accept that natural part of growing older is aging. All they wanted is that their golden years to be represented more than the number of candles placed on their birthday cakes. These boomers want to be able to walk to the table and blow the candles’ fire out without any help from their children and grandkids.

The generation of baby boomers is sometimes referred to as the generation of the sandwich or the sandwich generation. They were called sandwich because they were taking care of their elderly parents at same time taking care of their own children in the nest. Therefore, as you can see they were sandwiched between the two age groups.

Moreover, they eventually know what will be the necessary things to include in maintaining their health even their age is growing mature. They want to feel and look good from the inside and outside. Staying healthy according to them is looking for supplements that serves as a replacement of many of the natural products that their age may be replace slowly.

The Baby Boomers represent a self-defining generation wherein this is the first group raised on television advising to all boomers from different part of the world to watch the same programs at the same time. The British invasion of music on the same programs and organized groups against the war was then watched by millions of Baby Boomers. Moreover, Baby Boomers are reluctant to discuss and talk about death and dying and sadly they do not always believe this is the life’s reality.

Desiring for individual freedom is one of the key contributions of the baby boomer generation to this generation and in the next generation. Boomers want the freedom to choose where they will live how they will live, and for how long they will live or in other words freedom of choice. They seriously make these choices and continue to strive in finding new and unique ways in order to have a healthier and happier life they wanted to be.
