The oldest members of the Millennial Generation (born after 1980) were 8 when the Berlin Wall fell and apartheid ended. Their experiences are vastly different from their Silent Generation grandparents (born 1928-1945). Recent survey data demonstrate that Millennials hold distinct views from Silents in a number of areas. This infographic illustrates differences between the generations and gauges Millennial opinion about a range of hot-button issues.
