BOOMERS VS. ALL OTHERS: So Much for the Notion of an Orderly Progression

Divide American men into Dads (age 46 and older), Boomers (30-45) and Younger Brothers (18-29). Which is the odd generation out? ManScan, a study commissioned by Rodale Press’ Men’s Health magazine, points to an answer. In some regards, the research finds ‘a natural progression of values with evolutionary movement from one generation to the next.’ For example, asked whether they disapprove of ‘trying to outsmart the system, even if it’s legal,’ 48% of older men, 36% of boomers and 28% of younger men agreed.
