 5 1. The silent generation: her generation's grandparents, grew up during times of war and depression, built great institutions, did not like risks.

  2. The baby boomer generation: her generation's parents, took more risks, self- absorbed, age of flower-power, rebelled and questioned authority.

   3. Generation X: many are children of divorce, resilient, risk-takers.
