The Impact of Generational Cycles
Generational rhythms play a significant role in shaping global events and societal changes. Historical crises such as World War II and the Great Depression affected not just the United States, but resonated across the entire English-speaking world and Europe. The podcast highlights that the 1960s and 1970s marked a global awakening, characterized by youth movements advocating for change in various cultural contexts, from the U.S. to China. This awakening led to a fundamental shift in society, where young people began to dismantle existing institutions, contrasting with today’s younger generations who prioritize re-establishing functional societal structures.
