The best condensed descriptions I've found (although it's not necessarily the easiest read) is on a wiki page (ironically enough). In Gen Alpha, Part 2, I'll include the link. :) That post should go up tomorrow.<br /><br />If you come across something in your own reading/research--let me know!Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394240982411593489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207587042930747204.post-16473521123092025962014-11-17T12:07:22.601-05:002014-11-17T12:07:22.601-05:00I think you're on to something with Gen Z. The...I think you're on to something with Gen Z. They, (like the Silent Gen) are more institution maintainers--inherently more conservative in nature. Might have something to do with growing up during an economic downturn. Not to say that their individual personalities can't be progressive or innovative, but that their generation as whole in their approach to life, I would expect to see them more conservative in their 20s and 30s than previous generations were at that stage (ie, yours and mine!) :)<br /><br />Thank you so much for the encouragement with the baby too!! We're getting excited to meet her! and I'm curious to find out if all this birth prep (we did a Bradley class) turns out to be helpful for us. ( I know others have found it beneficial.)Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394240982411593489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207587042930747204.post-84169525526169634802014-11-15T14:17:54.649-05:002014-11-15T14:17:54.649-05:00Your last comment made me laugh.

And congratulations on working with an editor!<br /><br />Is there a easy read about generational breakdown and descriptions that you would recommend?Roshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08285280041664077737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207587042930747204.post-86177850616072519292014-11-15T08:57:13.660-05:002014-11-15T08:57:13.660-05:00I've been so anxious for baby news!

I read an article recently on how Generation Z is likely to turn more conservative since they watched this presidential administration bungle things. Z or Alpha, I'm so excited for you both and wish you strength and vitality, peace and joy at this next stage. Will be waiting with bated breath!Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844171813345071009noreply@blogger.com
