Generations shape the way we view the world, influenced by key events and cultural shifts. Here's a quick look at how each generation is defined and what makes them unique.

📌  𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (1901-1924)

Shaped by the Great Depression and World War II, this generation is known for their resilience, hard work, and sense of duty. They built the foundation of the modern world through perseverance.

📌 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (1925-1945)

Raised during World War II and the early Cold War, the Silent Generation valued stability and conformity. They quietly focused on work, family, and traditional values during times of global tension.

📌 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙗𝙮 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙨 (1946-1964)

Born after WWII, Boomers came of age during economic prosperity and social revolutions like the civil rights movement. Known for their influence on culture and consumerism, they continue to reshape aging and retirement.

📌 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗫 (𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟱-𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟵)

Gen Xers grew up during a time of political and social change. They were the first to experience personal computers, balancing skepticism with independence, and are known for valuing work-life balance.

📌 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 (𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟬-𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟰)

Millennials witnessed the rise of the internet and social media. Shaped by the Great Recession, they value experiences over possessions, seek purpose in work, and have adapted to a rapidly changing digital world.

📌 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗭 (𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟱-𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟮)

Digital natives, Gen Z grew up with smartphones and social media. They're tech-savvy, socially conscious, and driven by a desire for change, leading conversations on climate action, equality, and mental health.

📌 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗮 (𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟯-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱)

Still in their early years, Generation Alpha will grow up in a world dominated by AI, smart technology, and augmented reality. Their tech immersion will likely redefine how society interacts with the digital world.

Understanding these generations helps bridge gaps, fostering connection across age groups in an ever-evolving world.

Two Grammar Errors in NYSC Anthem

-
Image
As a current NYSC corp member who got inaugurated recently, I examined the lyrics of the NYSC Anthem. The line that caught my attention was the third line in the first verse: "Under the sun or in the rain." 📌 The phrase "under the sun" should be corrected to "in the sun." "Under the sun" is an idiom meaning "on earth" or "in existence," used to emphasize a large number of something. This meaning does not correlate with the context of the anthem.  For example: 1. The library had every book under the sun on its shelves. 2. There is nothing new under the sun. 📌 On the other hand, "in the sun" refers to being exposed to sunlight or being outdoors in sunny weather, which fits the context of the anthem. For example: 1. They spent the afternoon relaxing in the sun at the park. 2. The flowers thrive in the sun, blooming beautifully. 📌 Secondly, in the last stanza, the first line "Far and near" should be correcte
