I grew up in a generation that is called the "baby boomers" after World War II, those who were born between '46 and '64, how many here have heard the term "baby boomers"? They are basically the ones that were born between World War II and Vietnam. A writer sociologist analyzed that generation and gave it the name: the "me" generation. Another writer was also commenting on the ethics or mindset of narcissism in that generation.
