For many years I have identified and posted glimpses of the World I find interesting as a sociologist. Right now I am ready to focus in on one aspect of sociology that I find amazingly interesting. You do not have to be a sociologist to get interested in my new topic. You can care about other social sciences – politics, economics, and psychology for example, or you can just want to know what is going in real life.
Understanding Generations
I call my blog ‘holleysociology’ because it expresses what I personally take to be most interesting. I focus on modern life and one feature of living today I care about which is generations. By ‘generations’; I mean the ones that have their own names and exist in chronological order from Boomers, through Millennials, and on to Gen Alpha. My approach can be called simply Looking at Generations. I want to know all we can about these generations because nowhere are they fully understood. Most people’s lives have some connection with one generation. But very little is understood about what a ‘generation” really is. This is because they have rarely been studied and the fact that it generations wrap around people in many different ways. Dipping into this and making clearer how we live is why I am starting a set of new posts focusing on people’s use generations. I am calling this Understanding Generations.
