For some people this election has intensified barriers of a common vision. Generation to Generation often have commonalities as well as difference, however I feel that those of us in Gen X seem more divided on our beliefs and visions for this world than those of previous generations. I say that because in looking at post-election statistics, those of us in Gen X (ages 24-35) were most concerned with the domestic wars such as the economy rather than those of their baby boomer parents like terrorism or even domestic wars such as abortion, gay marriage, and embryonic stem-cell research. Few Gen X-ers sided with those issues of morality as identified by the baby boomers. I think it is important to be both near and far sighted because with only one view point we are both likely to be blind-sided by something we were not able to see coming. I think this is a time for both generations to work together, help one another see what God's plans and purposes are for our society. As we move forward towards a common good for all people we also need to remain connected to the generations before us for as they offer words of wisdom from their experiences and mistakes.

Are their Russian Boomers? Somali Gen-X ers? Millennial South American tribesmen? Do we need a different "world view?" Just a question, are their the same class (baby boomers, conservative, culture wars, future, Gen-X, liberal, millenials, post-partisan) labels in different countries?

Are their Russian Boomers? Somali Gen-X ers? Millennial South American tribesmen?

Do we need a different “world view?”
