Deep dives
Understanding the Four Turnings
The concept of four generational turnings provides a framework for analyzing societal cycles, each lasting around 20 years, contributing to an overall cycle termed a seculum that spans 80 to 100 years. The cycle begins with a crisis, usually marked by war and significant hardship, followed by a high period characterized by stability and reconstruction. The subsequent awakening sees young adults challenging the norms established during the high, resulting in cultural upheaval and social change. Finally, an unraveling phase emerges where established values are questioned, leading to societal tension and potential precursors to the next crisis.
