The document describes different generations and their characteristics. The Silent Generation, born between 1925-1945, grew up during a time of economic uncertainty and lacked modern luxuries, resulting in a strong work ethic and gratitude. They were focused on working silently to achieve goals and sustain living conditions rather than protests or attention seeking. Millennials, born between 1981-2004, faced criticism and pressure to conform from their parents' generation.
