Cross-sectional developmental research has discovered that various generations have been labeled by popular culture to describe trends in behavior commonly seen among individuals born to each generation. Study the chart below, and discuss whether or not you agree with the labels given and the rationales provided. Explain your answers.
Next, given the knowledge you have gained in this section about the influence of nature and nurture (biological and contextual influences), are there other reasons besides those listed in the chart that could influence general trends in behavior across generations? Support your reasoning with information from the text and other course materials

According to cross-sectional developmental studies, several generations have been dubbed by popular culture to explain trends in behavior that are typical among persons born to each generation. Examine the chart below and debate if you agree with the labels and rationales supplied. Explain your responses.
Following that, considering what you’ve learned in this part about the influence of nature and nurture (biological and environmental influences), are there any more factors outside those indicated in the chart that might influence general trends in behavior through generations? Use information from the book and other course materials to back up your arguments.
