I was googling why the era from 1925 to 1945 was called The Silent Generation and landed on a page from study dot com (wasn't sure if we could put links into our posts) and after reading a couple sentences was "told" I must create an account to read more.
Does anyone belong to study dot com?
It requres payment but seems to be a repository of a wealth of information.
It asks if you are a teacher or a student.

There's somebody alive who is 128 and 117? I can believe 108 though.
Thanks for the interesting post.

Apparently there are quite a few people in that age range. There was a recent report that in some localities - they voted in the recent primaries!

My generation,( The Silent Generation) was told children should be seen and not heard.

I don't belong to the study, but did find a video on Youtube wherein a panel discusses the Silent Generation." Very interesting and possibly mis-named.

it seems like the "silent generation" were considered pacifists instead of activists. it seems like they wanted to generally wanted to work and be left alone. they were scared to speak out about anything.
