\nElderly Problems by Boomeryearbook.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Baby boomers<\/strong> have set the standard. In an unprecedented feat of social transformation, baby boomers<\/strong> remolded a culture. They did this without a military coup or untold acts of violence (or at least not much, in relative terms). Social change, therefore, is a possibility given the drive and determination to do so. And yet; as baby boomers<\/strong> prepare to hand off the torch of responsibility to the next generation of Americans, there is much work to accomplish.<\/p>\n

Baby boomer<\/strong> have left in their wake a society that is vastly different from the one in which they themselves were raised. The loss of traditional values, especially the destruction of the traditional family structure, has been devastating. The question that lies at the feet of the next generation of echo boomers and their children is what to do next?<\/p>\n

In order for social change to take place, there needs to be awareness that there is a problem. Baby boomers<\/strong>, for their part, are a perfect example of this. Baby boomers<\/strong>, during their heyday, recognized the social injustices that troubled this nation and took action. It is only now that baby boomers<\/strong> are realizing the effects that their movement has wrought on a nation. Nevertheless, a recognition that a problem exists is the first step.<\/p>\n

In this, it is important that baby boomers<\/strong> take a bit of responsibility for the results of their actions and step up to the plate to facilitate resolution, once again through change. This is important as a result of the attitude of self-indulgence that is prevalent in today\u2019s culture. In other words, the current generation of Americans is so narcissistically self-absorbed, that larger social concerns go unheeded. As such, it is incumbent for someone \u2013 in this case, baby boomers<\/strong> \u2013 to begin a national campaign of social awareness education.<\/p>\n

For real change to take place, this campaign has to be a grass roots endeavor. Most echo boomers are moving into the prime of their lives, taking their parents place in the work force and continuing to promote the social direction their parents initiated. As such, it is the children of echo boomers that have to be made aware of the need for change and the remedies that will bring about resolution to many of today\u2019s problems. There has to be an impetus toward the need for reestablishing effective and traditional family structures as the primary vehicle of social reclamation. What better voice to initiate this campaign than the originators of generational social reform – the baby boomers<\/strong> themselves?<\/p>\n

Baby boomers<\/strong> are in a unique position. Baby boomers<\/strong>, in ever increasing numbers, are realizing that in spite of their best intentions America is suffering. They see what American society has become in comparison to what American society was like in the period before the \u2018great experiment\u2019 manifested. Baby boomers<\/strong> can see what was good and what wasn\u2019t; what should have been let go and what should have been maintained. It is within this spirit of experience and understanding that baby boomers<\/strong> can once again make a difference.<\/p>\n

\"Elderly

Elderly Problems: Are Echo Boomers Adapting Baby Boomer Values?<\/p><\/div>\n

Through the voice of experience, aging baby boomers<\/strong> can impart the wisdom that can only be born through the trial and error of living. This wisdom can be the nectar for the younger generations that are waiting in the wings and hunger for social nourishment. The solutions to the ills that plaque society is deeply rooted and will take a generation to fully manifest. If we have any hope, baby boomers<\/strong> most take action \u2013 as they are the only viable and remaining voice that understands and can relate to then and now.<\/p>\n
