<![CDATA[A generation is understood not only as an age category, but also as a cultural identity shaped by the social and historical experiences collectively shared by individuals over a specific period of time. This article aims to analyze how the dynamics of historical experiences play a role in shaping the social character and value systems of each generation in society. This study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review of various sociological studies on the concept of generation and social change. The findings indicate that historical events, technological developments, and social and cultural changes influence a generation’s mindset, value orientation, and lifestyle.
