Steve's Saecular Pages

I have been interested in the generational theory and the model of the saeculum developed by William Strauss and Neil Howe for a long time now. For a little while I maintained a blog called Generation Watch, but decided to let that effort rest. I keep the old blog online, because there's some good stuff there. I think the background section is particularly informative. I still have bursts of creative thought related to the model and decided to assemble my latest and greatest works here. See the first link below for even more web sites related to the theory.

For my work, let's start with a chart of correspondences of the generational archetypes.

   Correspondences of the Archetypes

Next up is a chart I put together of the key concepts of the saecular ages, or turnings, of the Strauss and Howe model. All of the text in this chart comes from the book The Fourth Turning.

The following page is from the old Generation Watch site and takes a look at expected patterns or trends for each of the living generations.

Here are some essays where I attempt to relate the model to other ideas.

   Morality and the Saeculum
