“Understanding different age groups makes advertising to them more effective, because marketers can determine what will appeal to the majority of these consumers,
and narrow down the target audience drastically.”
Rebecca Howell “Market Segmentation: The Importance of Age Cohorts”

“GRAVE AND FATALISTIC”

Having grown up in the wake of World War II, many people in this generation refrained from voicing unpopular beliefs for fear of being considered subversive.
![Page 18: Advertising For The Ages](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032619/55c30de5bb61ebd9738b4649/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Perhaps more than any generation since, the Silent Generation considered adulthood
a privilege—one that comes with a price.
Paying Dues

Unlike their parents who might have dreamed of traveling the world or amassing corporate empires, the Silent Generation had simpler aspirations.

Midlife Crisis In the late 1970s,
companies responded to an economic
recession and high inflation by laying off
workers in droves.

Whether because they are leading longer, healthier lives or lacking the financial resources necessary to stop working, many older people are putting off retirement.

? QUESTION
THEORIES Maybe World War II left the Silent Generation weary of fighting on any front.
Why do those who risked their lives fighting wars to protect democracy abroad seem loath to press for equal rights at home?
Perhaps Time was correct and the Silent Generation avoids speaking out for fear of being labeled as un-American.
Or maybe the Silent Generation is not really afraid to speak up on civil rights issues—maybe its members simply like things the way they used to be.
![Page 24: Advertising For The Ages](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032619/55c30de5bb61ebd9738b4649/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
In an American society that increasingly appreciates cultural diversity, the Silent Generation seems highly
intolerant.

Intentionally or not, members of this generation
continue to use demeaning and bigoted language, employ gender and racial double standards, and show deference to white males.
