cultural cycles

this post would probably fit better in either the psychology or politics categories, but since it has relevence to the "cesspool of our youth" thread i thought i'd post it here.
anyway, i found this sight a little while ago--its a paper some guy wrote about different theories on how generations fluctuate in values, political, social and cultural. and it compares different generations and theorizes on the future of the upcoming generations and culture into the millenium.
it's at: http://crab.rutgers.edu/~goertzel/fourthturning.htm

Thank you Wind, I had long wondered what was the difference between right and left; conservative & libiral.
It all seemed vegue in defining these concepts.

In their view the American populace is split between "liberals" and "conservatives," terms that are very widely used despite considerable ambiguity about their meaning. As the Schlesinger's define the terms, "liberals" seek to use government advance public purposes while "conservatives" seek freedom to pursue private interests.
