Boomers are actually an amazing example of how a cohort’s shared experiences can shape their collective psychology. The cohort was born into a time of unprecedented economic prosperity and as such are unable to understand the problems of their children.

Your cohort when you grow up can predict your development because people of a particular generation share a great multitude of environmental factors.

Edit: this does not mean we should foster intergenerational conflict.
