There were
many transitions occurred in my life too but the notable transition was getting admission into
foreign college after completing my graduation. It change my whole life style. “The transitions in
our lives are those events, or nonevents, that alter our roles, relationships, routines and
assumptions” (Page # R36) but the transition was anticipated because I was planning for that earlier,
"Anticipated transitions: the major life events we usually expect to be a part of adult life, such as
marrying, becoming a parent, starting a first job or retiring" (Page # R35). As it was expected that I
will be moving out of country for higher education, so, it was not life crisis, "normal and expectable
life events are not themselves life crisis" (Page # 37)
3. There are two basic things about generation X. One is, "this generation has watched more TV,
and as a result has probably witnessed more violence, murders, than any other generation in history.
Some resent the baby boomers in a big way. They feel baby boomers spent too much time partying
and messing up the world that they have inherited. Now, the X'ers have to fix it, and they see the
boomers as being in their way. This has made them very cynical (Page # R20) and other side is that
this generation is very advanced in information technology. This generation has witnessed dramatic
changes. These articles works for the theory proposed in Neugarten article. I can witness this as my
father or my elder are not aware of many things I know about the technological advancement.
