Generational IQ for the Workplace and Home Collection

by Haydn Shaw

In summary, because of World War II, Traditionalists witnessed the power of large government programs, larger-than-life leaders, and the accomplishments of a unified nation where everyone did his or her duty. They didn’t question authority at home because the threat overseas was far more terrifying. Though greater acceptance of working women would take another generation, the seeds of change sprouted in World War II. Most of all, Traditionalists learned the power of sacrifice and patience. Ironically, the most famous British poster from World War II was produced in case Germany invaded Britain, but it was never used. It later became so popular because it captures the wartime perspective of the Traditionalists: “Keep Calm and Carry On.”
