Silent Generation
The “Silent Generation” refers to the demographic cohort born between the mid-1920s to the early 1940s, framed by the Great Depression and World War II. Known for their strong work ethic and conformist tendencies, they are called “silent” because they were raised during a period of economic hardship and global conflict, which conditioned them to be cautious, avoid risk, and not draw attention to themselves, thus fostering a culture of silence or restraint in expressing their views.
