Generation members have varying perspectives on life, sometimes common and sometimes uncommon. And of course we can notice these differences and similarities. For the Traditionalists, or Veterans, versus the Baby Boomers, they are distinguished by the kind of family that they came from, their education, the wars they were shaped by, and their general lifestyles.
The Veterans are the same as the Baby Boomers in that they both came from the same kind of families, but they both had different levels or different looks on education.The members or people who were born in those two generations were born in traditionalist families.That means the both generations were born in a family where the father had to go to work and the mother had to stay at home to take care of the children (them). But they had different levels or looks for education. The Veterans had got not norm education and that means that they have been taught the basics, but the rich people at that time had a normal education. Even though some of them went to the University. On the other hand Baby Boomers considered the education right as the birth right. And that means the education is very important to them. That's because if they didn't get a good education they wouldn't get a good job. In brief, the Veterans and baby boomers came from a traditionalist families, while each one of them had different looks or levels of or for the education.
The Veterans and Baby Boomers were born during or shaped by a war, while both of the cohorts had different characteristics. Those both generations were shaped by a war. For the Veterans,they were shaped by World War II ;however, Baby Boomers were born during or shaped by the Vietnam War. In spite of that the members of those two generations had different characteristics. For the Veterans they characterized by pride, loyalty, and had a respect for the authority. Also they are not typical happy with the modern changes. Different from Veterans baby boomers are extreme optimistic and confident that they can get things done. In addition to that they are used to get their way in any thing. In spite of that the members of those two generations were shaped by a war each, each generation of them has different characteristics.
In addition to all of that they are different in leadership style, interactive style, and the balance between work and family life. In leadership style the veterans are directive and command in giving orders. For example, the Veterans just give orders and the do not take anyone's opinion. But the Baby Boomers are consensual in that they take the other's opinion before doing any thing. In the interactive style, the veterans are formal,while Baby Boomers interactive style is working in groups. The last thing is the balance between work and family life.For the Veterans the work is more important than family life,but Baby Boomers work to live. In short, they are different in the leadership style and interactive style, and the balance between work and family life.
In conclusion, there are some similarities in some ways between the Veterans and baby boomers ,although they had so many differences in many things. they are similar in the kind of family that they came from and they both were shaped by a war. On the other hand they are different in many things like their looks for education or the level of education that they had, their characteristics, leadership style ,interactive style, and balance between work and family life. In short, these differences and similarities are so easy to be noticed by anyone between those two generations.
