Now, complete pg. 3 of All My Sons Companion Packet, ensuring you are ready to explain AND defend your responses. The Greatest Generation: American journalist Tom Brokaw coined the phrase the Greatest Generation to describe those men and women who had lived through monumental events, such as the Great Depression and WW II, as well as one of the most prosperous eras in America’s history. Here are the factors he attributes to his justification of this term: Four Factors Contributing to the Formation of the Greatest Generation
This generation lived through the Great Depression, World War II, and then on into one of the most the prosperous eras in the history of our nation. The newfound prosperity contrasted sharply with previous decades of austerity. The changes this generation witnessed will forever be marked as some of the most pivotal moments in history.
Combined, these two factors result in one very strong work ethic among members of the Greatest Generation.
Frugality for them isn’t a badge of honor nor is it anything to be ashamed of. It was simply a way of dealing with life in those times.
Back home, people made due with less in order to contribute to the war effort. That meant rationing and doing without some of the staples of daily living. United as a country in the face of evil, the greatest generation came together to sacrifice what they could to make the world a better place.
