                                                        Veterans  vs.  Nexters

  Generations in the culture of the american people have many different names and characteristics . However cultural generations depend on people who were born in the same date and share the same culture experience . In 1943 , people have begun to name each generation and the Veterans generation was the first one . Moreover , generations have been defined in many different ways and by different people. In fact , Veterans generation who fought in World War II was the greatest generation in american culture . In 1980 , Nexters generation became extremely different from Veterans and the modern technology was the main reason of that difference . In fact , Nexters who " born of the Baby Boomers and early Xers " is the youngest generation . Actually , There are many of differences between the oldest and the youngest generations . However , The biggest differences between Veterans and Nexters are education , communication and dealing with money . 

First of all , the education has been changed by researches and became more develop in Nexters time . For example , many of universities have online teaching which help studentes to study from home while that was not available in Veterans time . In fact , the education was not the norm for Veterans generation , but it is important thing for Nexters . Although the Nexters care about education , it really great expense for them . Moreover , the technology that use in teaching for Nexters is extremely different from Veterans' way to teach. So , there is a big different in education between Veterans and Nexters . 

Second , The communication and media between Veterans and Nexters are different because it became more modern . For example , Veterans used rotary phone for communication . On other hand , Nexters use technological systems devices to communicate with others . In fact , the main reason that was not modern technology in Veterans time . Therefor , the technology which used in communication is the biggest difference between Veterans and Nexters .

Finally , each of Veterans and Nexters have a special way to dealing with money . In fact , Veterans were a good savers , but Nexters always spend money . Moreover , Veterans always pay cash while Nexters sometimes are pay online . In fact , there was not a lot of opportunities for Veterans to spend money . For example , there was not a lot of shopping malls and expensive brands in Veterans time . In short , For each of Veterans and Nexters deal with money in different ways .


To sum up , there is a gap of differences between Veterans and Nexters . Especially ,  in education , communication and dealing with money . " modern generational gaps have often been attributed to rapid cultural change in the postmodern period , particularly with respect to such matters as musical tastes, fashion, culture and politics " , Hagestad, Gunhild O. and Uhlenberg, Peter. In my opinion , new technology is the most important reason for the difference in generations .
