Greatest Generation

for themselves or their reputation. Those reasons could be why Tom Brokaw considers them to be the greatest generation, but I don’t feel the same way he does. Although I believe this generation is full of extraordinary people, I don't think they're the “greatest generation". They are one of the most patriotic generations, but I don’t think patriotism defines your greatness. This particular generation may have had a lot of humble people, but not all were. Many of them were racist and/or sexist and

never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” America has given a lot of goods to my generation that we are very thankful for. America has provided a great deal to my generation such as the technology that we use on a daily basis, America's veterans have given us our freedom, America also gives us the greatest opportunities. One of America's greatest gifts to us is the

person in that era offered and sacrificed some part of their life to help the country succeed, which shows why the World War II era was the greatest generation. Though everyone may not agree, no one can dispute the transformative events this generation experienced and how they were willing to step up and do whatever had to be to “get the job done.” Other generations can correspond with similar characteristics

Hunger Games” exhibits all the characteristics of a real “hero”. Her appearance fools foes as a weak and easy target to kill. Katniss’ has many abilities but her mind is her greatest power. She exemplifies that women can be heroes and one don’t need to be perfect to be a hero. Katniss Everdeen is our greatest hero of our generation. In appearance, she may look like just any ordinary, innocent teenage girl in District 12. She normally wears her hair in a long braid down her back. Katniss is thin and

America’s greatest gift to my generation is the advanced knowledge of things in our country. We now know how to keep our country safe and strong even if there are conflicts going on all around us. Our increased knowledge from the past conflicts have shown and taught us what to do in sticky situations. Whether it is bad conflicts or just everyday safety precautions, the information helps us get through it. I think our country has greatly benefitted from all of the information we have gathered over

Some might say that the 1930’s and 1940’s was the greatest generation. The 1930’s started with the Great Depression the greatest economic disaster in modern history.

People that had left the farmlands to move to the cities for employment found themselves returning to the farm to feed their families. People

In The Greatest Generation Grows up: American Childhood in the 1930’s, Kirste Lindenmeyer argues that the children of the Great Depression were the targets of and influenced the social and political change during the depression. Lindenmeyer does this by using many first-hand accounts to support her claim. Lindenmeyer then uses the lack of work as a chapter to also support her argument.

Freedom of speech America's greatest gift to our generation is freedom of speech. But do we take it for granted? We do not truly realize how lucky we are to have freedoms of speech. We can say whatever we want when we want. Back then when there was still slavery if you spoke out against the government you would be arrested. Today we can express ourselves freely without having to worry about being in trouble for it. We can show how we feel through a lot through books music poems and speeches

is why I think our military is America's greatest gift to my generation. Navy SEAL’s are a gift to my generation because they are highly trained professional warriors. I couldn’t imagine training for years upon years to fight. I would be so scared. These Navy SEAL’s are important because they are top of the line warriors fighting for us every day even when we don’t know it. This is truly a gift to my generation. Fighter pilots are a gift to my generation because they protect us in the sky. I would
