	Strauss and Howe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strauss and Howe (William Strauss and Neil Howe) are bestselling authors and national speakers based on their proprietary model of generations in American history.
		Strauss and Howe followed in 1993 with their second book, 13th Gen. This work examines the generation born between 1961 and 1981, Gen-Xers (alias "13ers", since they are literally the thirteenth generation since America became a nation).
		Strauss and Howe argue that today's teens are recasting the image of youth from downbeat and alienated to upbeat and engaged.

	THE MICO-WAVE GENERATION……………………… (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Strauss and Howe argue that their way of presenting history through cross-generational relationships "--between parents and children, between mid-life leaders and youths coming of age, between elders and their heirs--depict[s] history as people actually live it, from growing up in their teens to growing old in their seventies"(G, 8).
		Strauss and Howe explain that "over the past quarter-century, demographers have persisted in defining the birth years of the "baby boomers" as reaching from 1946 through 1964, and the "baby busters" as starting with the 1965 birth year"(13th, 12).
		Strauss and Howe argue that the demographers' traditional approach "crams people into a generation based on the fertility traits of their parents, not on the behavior of the people themselves"(13th, 12).

	Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation
		Strauss and Howe are in a somewhat unusual position for long-term prophets: their predictions tend to be right.
		In Strauss and Howe's eyes, its nature was fixed by the determination of their Boomer and Generation X parents to avoid the neglectful child-rearing practices of the 1960s and `70s.
		Strauss and Howe do not dwell on the scenarios by which the Millennials could be deformed to a comparable degree, but they acknowledge the possibility.

	Generations In Conversation: Strauss and Howe Generations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Strauss and Howe use the generation theories developed by José Ortega y Gasset and Julián Marías, Spanish philosophers who wrote on history as a system.
		Strauss and Howe cite Gail Sheehy's 1976 book, Passages: Predictable Crises of Adult Life, together with Daniel Levinson's 1978 book, The Seasons of a Man's Life", as examples of a cohort-group biography - a 'persuasive rendering of the collective personality of American men and women now in their fifties' (read mid sixties in 2005).
		Strauss and Howe focus on the impact of social moments - critical events which could be secular crises or spiritual awakenings.

	The Fourth Turning
		Strauss and Howe claim, with some shaky support, to have run their model back 700 years to the end of the Middle Ages.
		According to Strauss and Howe, we are now in the Third Turning, an era of Unraveling that they call the age of Culture Wars (a magazine for which I write, by the way).
		Strauss and Howe advise parents to get their kids involved in lots of group activities, since the odds are that the kids are going to be drafted someday.

	Displeased w/ S&H's take on Xers? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Strauss and Howe occasionally raise dissenting points, but they wind up misrepresenting 13ers as a generation of deterioration and misdiagnose the “cause” as too much ‘70s and ‘80s youth freedom.
		Strauss and Howe’s superior insights in previous works are discarded in Millennials, which swerves into the unsupported claim that Boomers are doting architects of straight-arrow kids set to clean up the 13er mess.
		It seems to me Strauss and Howe strain to reconcile a Boomer generation that favors executing juveniles, forcing their kids to urinate in front of drug testers, and expelling students for the tiniest infractions, as parents truly concerned for the welfare of children.

	X aspiration - The Boston Globe
		IN THEIR 1991 book ''Generations," William Strauss and Neil Howe characterized the so-called Generation X (Americans born in 1961 and after) as a profoundly skeptical cohort, ''proud of their ability to poke through the hype" and difficult to market to.
		Strauss and Howe predict that a decade from now, when Xers are the overwhelming majority of campus parents, they are likely to ask unsentimental questions about, for example, measurable results, return on investment, and especially tuition.
		Strauss and Howe suggest that unlike the Boomer parents of today's undergrads, who've yearned to relive-through their children-their own college experiences (recalled as halcyon days despite, or because of, the upheavals of the late 1960s and early '70s), Xers are far more ''likely to recall college in hindsight as a waste of time and money."

	September 11, 2001: The Day the Crisis Arrived?
		Strauss and Howe have a vision of history that is disturbingly fatalistic, suggesting that because of broad tendencies there might have been little we could have done to prevent what happened on September 11, 2001.
		Each generation, according to the Strauss and Howe, is shaped in large part by the times in which it grows up – and by the attitudes of its parent generation.
		Strauss and Howe predict that those who began to be born around 1984 and whose leading edge is now moving through the high schools of the country, will have to shoulder the enormous responsibility of pulling the country through the next Crisis – as did the Heroes who fought and won World War II.

	A Model for Social Change (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Strauss and Howe do not take sides on the nature of this crisis; they are not (as far as I know) vegetarians, environmental activists, advocates of simple living, or anything like that.
		Strauss and Howe identify several "crisis periods" in American history: the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression and Second World War.
		Strauss and Howe are also careful not to draw value judgments as to the relative merits of individualism versus teamwork, and careful to point out that crises often have very different endings.

	The X Project: Don't Get Me Wrong
		They said Strauss and Howe presented a "thinly veiled agenda" to create a generational divide, and that "a group of Xers closely affiliated with Strauss and Howe translated this caricature of young people, and its accompanying ideology, into political organizations that would advocate the agenda on behalf of young people."
		Howe and Strauss lamented that 13ers (their version of Xers) represented "the first pro-Republican young Americans since the 1920s.
		One can only speculate that Howe and Strauss were trying to displace their disappointment of their own generation's enthusiastic support of Reagan onto some other scapegoat.

	Reverend Mike's House of Homiletic Hash: Why Is There a Problem?
		Strauss and Howe posit what is termed, "a four-stroke generational cycle." In other words, they seek to demonstrate that American history cycles through four recognizable, repeating eras.
		This cycle recurs, according to Strauss and Howe, because "each generation tries to redefine the social role of older phases of life as it matures through them," reacting against the paradigm of the preceding generation.
		In the final analysis, Strauss and Howe have pinned their reputations on the ability of their approach to predict the nature of future societal changes as we near the next secular crisis.

		Their book explains how and why Millennials have grown up to be so different from what nearly everybody expected-- and how to turn this new youth tide to the entertainment industry's best advantage.
		According to Strauss and Howe, the sooner the entertainment industry stops fighting high-tech Millennials and instead focus on how to monetize their skills and tastes, the better the outcome for everyone.
		To Strauss and Howe, the best way to learn about Millennials is to watch them in their own setting, watch them doing what they enjoy doing and what they're good at doing--and watch them with an open mind.

	The X Project: September 2004
		Howe and Strauss believed there was a chance that historians may someday look back and record no laudable virtue for the 13th Gen, other than that they were products and promulgators of a slumping society.
		While Howe and Strauss were sure the 13th Gen would be worse off than their parents, the leading edge of their demographic born between 1961 and 1981 were just hitting their early 30s.
		In their conclusion, Howe and Strauss predicted that the struggle between Baby Boomers and 13ers (Xers) would become one of the most important trends of the coming years.

	STRAUSS AND HOWE
		Strauss and Howe look back to 1584 and forward to 2069, seeing a pattern of generational cycles, each lasting 89-90 years.
		However, a significant number of Generation X'ers, now old enough to become parents, are rebelling against the inadequate parenting they received by opting for lower, one-job incomes, a rejection of consumerism, and a commitment to a simpler lifestyle and a building of relationships within families[15].
		Strauss and Howe admit that this is a majority view of history.

		Strauss and Howe believe that each new generation is shaped by some defining event that happens -- and their life stage at that time will shape how they then appraoch culture later.

		Strauss and Howe have written four best-selling books on generations and history, making a vital contribution to the new discussion about the future of America and the world.
		Strauss and Howe have illuminated the past by retelling the story of America as a recurring cycle of four "turnings," each driven by generational aging and each lasting about the length of a phase of life.

		How McIntosh’s work runs into serious trouble is by the way he looks back before the Boomers.
		This leaves him with the unaddressed dilemma of explaining how in, say, 1943, a 40-year-old munitions plant foreman and his one-year-old daughter are members of the same generation (and how she is making a contribution to the U.S. war effort).
		This also means he has pressed the “Silent” generation (born 1925—1942 according to Strauss and Howe) into the same mold as the war-winning and admittedly building-prone generation of World War II veterans.

	History
		If Strauss and Howe are right, we are due for yet another one -- the end of the current saeculum -- somewhere around the year 2025.
		According to Strauss and Howe, it has to do with the fact that each generation instinctively corrects for the excesses of the previous generation, and in so doing raises its own children in such a fashion that the cycle will continue to turn.
		The last such generation was the generation (born between 1901 and 1927) who, as young adults, fought and won World War II: Strauss and Howe note many similarities between the young people of the Great Depression and today's Millennials.
