The Bomb Boomers have lived their entire lives with the threat of a nuclear holocaust destroying the earth in 30 minutes. As a result, they do not have the same values as survivors. Survivors posses a strong sense of community. They affiliate with groups and causes. Loyalty and hard work are common characteristics.
Boomers avoid belonging.
Privacy is revered. Independence, and indifference are common traits. Convenience is far more important than any cause. Xers choose personal relationships with peers over society, institutions, or family. The sexual revolution has come and gone, but its effect is here to stay.
