O que é uma geração

«(...) can we talk about young people as a coherent group? It is here that we find the idea of generations particularly helpful. Generations can be understood in a number of ways, but here we draw on Karl Mannheim's view that a 'generation' refers to a group of peoplewvho experience and respond to specific social-historical conditions in common ways, depending in part on age. In other words, people growing up, living through and responding to particular historical events, political structures, dominant ideologies and technical developments together form a generation with a shared world view that distinguishes them from other generations. For Mannheim, it is the events, ideas and experiences encountered by young people between the ages of 17 to 25 that particularly shape their generation. Writers differ in terms of the labels and birth year boundaries they apply to particular generations. but they are usually periods bout 20 years. (Karl Mannheim. 'The problem of generations'. in Essays on the Sociology of Knowledge, Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1952, pp. 276-320) (Cray, 2006: 5)
