How to use «Generation» in context?
The word «generation» has multiple meanings in different contexts. In sociology, a generation is a group of individuals who were born within the same years. In the case of this article, a generation is a group of people who were born after the 1964 American Civil Rights Movement. The civil rights movement was a time when many social changes happened, and this includes the passage of legislation that helped improve race relations in the United States.
These days, there is a generation of people who were born after the civil rights movement. This generation has never known a time when race wasn’t an important part of American society.
