Case Study: "I want to beg all you parents, and grandparents, and friends, and teachers, and preachers- you who constitute the "older generation"-to overlook our shortcomings... and to appreciate our virtues. We are the Younger Generation. The war tore away our spiritual foundations and challenged our faith. We are struggling to regain our equilibrium. The times have made us older and more experienced than you were at our age. It must be so with each succeeding generation if it is to keep pace with the rapidly advancing and mighty tide of civilization. Everywhere we read and hear the criticism and distrust of older people toward us. It forms an insurmountable barrier between us. How can we turn to them?" Ellen Welles Page, "A Flapper's Appeal to Parents," Outlook, December 6, 1922
