ABSTRACT

Globalization has changed everything. It has propelled us into a world of rapid change and transformation. We are used to generation gaps and the emergence of new ideas and practices that shake-up established norms by a younger generation. Globalization is changing our world so rapidly, it seems there is no time for generation gaps; now we only have time for evolving cohort slices of Gen-X, Gen-Y, and Gen-Z parsed by single decades, each with their own particular identities. It appears there simply is not enough time to establish traditions as people are compelled to adapt to a world in constant change.
