Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The silent generation, also known as the Traditionalists, includes individuals born between 1925 and 1945. These individuals grew up during the Great Depression and World War II, which greatly influenced their values and spending habits. They tend to be frugal and practical, which aligns with Carla's behavior described in the question. Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964, and while they may have been influenced by these events to some extent, they did not experience them firsthand in the same way as the Silent Generation. Generation Z and Millennials were born later and are therefore not likely to belong to Carla's generational microculture.
