Abstract

An article has revisited a classical interpretation of category of generation, suggesting strict periodization and equal time periods implementing to the generation residing in the period of so‑called late capitalism. The article is based on the methodology of comparative study, stressing a new approach to the sociological perception of generation as an outcome of social and psychological processes, stimulating specific identity and consciousness, different, or being more specific – transgressive, from other generations, denying previous approach based on the similar birthdate. An analysis has focused of the value systems differences of generation inhabiting well‑developed capitalistic countries after II World War.
