Class Divisions in Film

1980s: Yuppies Have Kids… Teens: their music, fashion, & behavior became an even bigger mystery. Kids born in the mid 1960s  early 1980s Generation X Called the “Me! Me! Me! Generation = all about status & social position. Divorces increased = dramatic change in the family unit. Parents worked more hours = criticized for “buying” their children's’ love.

Generation X – Baby Bust 1970s Recession = lack of “disposable income” families had less kids Only 17 million babies born Mid-1960s Early 1980s The “Lost Generation” Lack of adult guidance = both parents worked/divorce rates increased.

Generation X – Baby Bust I believe the children are our future. teach them well and let them lead the way.

Generation X – Baby Bust We’ll never be like our parents
