baby boomer，Generation X，Generation Y，Trophy Generation

The Baby Boomer generation is generally defined as all those people born between 1943 and 1960 who are (often cor-rectly) stereotyped as self-indulgent and workaholics. Genera-tion X, generally defined as those born between 1961 and 1981, are characterized as unmotivated slackers and hopeless cynics. These are followed by Generation Y, born from 1982 to the early 1990s, who are optimistic, socially responsible multitaskers. ...... There is no Generation Z, but instead there is the Trophy Generation—those born from 1990 to present. They were raised with the community mantra: No matter what, everyone gets a trophy. We are all the same. And all of us are winners and entitled to the spoils that automatically accrue to winners.
