Wayne,
Recently, I've been doing some Interpretive Planning with the Missouri Humanities Council. I have used the Strauss & Howe framework to discuss generational differences. My serious sociologist friends counseled me that there is some real problems in the over-generationalization of their methods. But, I find it useful in getting people to understand that if they simply design something for themselves, it may miss a lot of other people. Like Meyers-Briggs, it is one of those frameworks that really hits people with the understanding of differences and allows them to imagine and talk about multiple perspectives. That is one of the major issues in interpretive and instructional design, including exhibition design.
Here is the citation from one of their best know works. Others are on Amazon.
Strauss, W. & Howe, N. Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069. Perennial; Reprint edition (September 1, 1992)
I too remember the film you were talking about, and we used to rent it for instructors back in my media directors days. I checked several of the major film, video libraries but don't find that they currently have it for rental.
Send me your email offline and I will be happy to share the PowerPoint I put together that gives the major life events for the Silent, Baby Boom, X, and Y generations.
Best Regards,
Carey Tisdal
