A Baby Boomer is
anyone born between 1946 and 1964. According to Wikipedia there
are over seventy-six million American children born between
those years, representing a generation known as the baby boomer
generation.
Baby Boomer Characteristics
Characteristics
include higher education than previous generations and
assumptions of lifelong prosperity and entitlement developed
during their childhood in the 1950s. The baby boomers were the
first group to be raised with televisions, and television has
been identified as "solidifier melding the sense of generational
identity more than any other. Starting in the 1950s, people in
in all areas across the country could watch the same shows,
listen to the same news, and laugh at the same jokes. Television
shows such as I Love Lucy, Father Knows Best and Leave it to
Beaver showed idealized family settings. Later, the boomers
watched scenes from the Vietnam War and the assassinations of
John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F.
Kennedy.
The boomers found that music was another solidifier, that was
rock and roll and R&B. The invention of transistor radios were
personal devices that allowed teenagers to listen to The Beatles
and The Motown Sound. Baby Boomers around the world were coming
of age at the same time. Britain was undergoing Beatlemania.
Boomers in the United States were driving over to Woodstock,
organizing against the Vietnam War, or fighting and dying in the
same war. Boomers in Italy were dressing in mod clothes, Boomers
in India were seeking new philosophical one after escaping the
draft south of the border. Boomers in Canada were organizing
support for Pierre Trudeau.

Religious Beliefs
Baby Boomers and Religion - In 1993, Time magazine reported on
the religious beliefs of baby boomers. Citing Wade Clark
Roof, a sociologist at the University of California at Santa
Barbara, the articles stated that about 42% of baby boomers were
dropouts from formal religion, a third had never strayed from
church, and one-fourth of boomers were returning to religious
practice.
As a result a large majority of the Boomer population was more
liberal, which deepens rifts over issues like abortion and
homosexuality.
Baby Boomers on
Social Issues
One of the biggest contributions made by the Boomer generation
appears to be the wide spread belief of individual freedom and
support for civil rights. Boomers often are associated with the
civil rights movement, the feminist cause in the 1970s, gay
rights, handicapped rights, and the right to privacy.
Today, Baby boomers presently make up the lion's share of the
political, cultural, industrial, and academic leadership class
in the United States. Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, born
within sixty days of each other in mid-1946, are the first and
second Baby Boomer U.S. presidents, and their careers in office
illustrate the wide, often diverging, spectrum of values and
attitudes espoused by this largest American generational group
to date. To date, baby boomers also have the highest median
household incomes in the United States.

Financial Status
Boomers are experiencing money issues - Boomers have often found
difficulty managing their time and money due to an issue that
other generations have not had a problem with. Because the Baby
Boomer generation has found that their parents are living
longer, their children are seeking a better and longer college
education, and they themselves are having children later in
life, the boomers have become "sandwiched" between generations.
The "sandwich generation", coined in the 1980s, refers to baby
boomers who must care for both elderly parents and young
children at the same time.
