                                                        PASSAGE
   
     Authors Williams Strauss and Neil Howe are known for their theories about cycle of generations in American history. They refer to each cycle of four generation as a constellation, and they posit that each constellational era corresponds to "recurring types of historical events" and moods. They state that adjacent generations do not live similar lives, and that each generation ages as a singular cohort as time moves forward. According to Strauss and Howe, each generation is comprised of people who possess(1) common age (2) common beliefs and(3) perceived membership in the same generation. A generation approximately 22 years in length. Since a lifetime may reach 80-90 years, members of 4 generations are alive at one time. The four generational archetypes identified by Strauss are Idealist, Reactive, Civics and Adaptive. Idealists are "increasingly indulged youths after a secular crisis, " who cultivate principle rather than pragmatism is midlife, and emerge as " visionary elders," Reactive grow up "under protected and criticized youths during a spiritual awakening," mature into risk taking adults, mellow into " pragmatic midlife leaders during a secular crisis." and become reclusive elders. Civics grow up " increasingly protected youths after a spiritual awakening," become "a heroic and achieving cadre of young adults," build institutions as midlifers, and "emergs as busy midlifers, attacked by the next spiritual awakening." Adaptives grow up as "overprotected and suffocated youths during a secular crisis," become "risk-averse, conformist rising adults," mature into " indecisive arbitator leaders during a spiritual awakening," and become sensitive elders.
