My father. He always stood by me even when I abandoned him. He taught me a trade that has been good for me. Loaned me the money to buy my new house. Helped me in uncountable ways. He has been an example of character and honesty. He is sincere in His beliefs, loves my mom, and has always been a help to his neighbors and friends. It may sound almost unreal but it is true. Many others have spoken the same way of him. I wish I was more like him.

Sounds like W to me.  I've heard that he believes that the current generation is the last one before the apocolypse, so he doesn't need to worry about the future.  It would explain his policies on international affairs, the ecology, and the economy.

Ask this question in ten years, if you have the balls to. Learn this one thing from this MOM. Hindsight is 20/20.

It's definitely still used but mostly by the older generations. For the younger generations it thus has a slightly negative connotation as a aging woman rather than a young one.

No one can deny that the 21st century is the century of globalization,the world is becoming more and more globalized but i think globalization and attachment to own indentity goes hand in hand,that is,you can't go on mingling if you think your gonna lose your identity,so the future belongs to ppl who will be able to mingle and at the same time remain their identity,it is not easy,but it is one of the things facing the upcoming generations,and we have to cope up with it and learn how to do this paradox just as we learn any other skill.

200 years may be possible some time in the future, but back then if a person lived to be 40 he was lucky.

What is the English identity? Is it the same as it was a generation ago? A century ago? Surely a nation's character is in a continual state of flux and evolution? I don't think there is anything to worry about, this is business as usual for a healthy country.

Interesting question that others have been pondering on as I see.\nHere's a link that takes the expression back to at least 1946 when used as the title of a book about psychiatric problems provoked in troops in wartime (a topical subject)\nhttp://www.tomfolio.com/bookdetailssu.asp?b=7070&m=106\nSmokey Stover thought on this forum that it dated back to 1940\nhttp://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/46/messages/1021.html\nSomeone elso gives the authorship to Robert Owen, the 18th century textile owner and philanthropist which certainly predates the others http://www.giga-usa.com/quotes/authors/robert_owen_a001.htm\n\nHow am I doing?

Nice answer...but the question says 1800s and your answer says 1900s?

Yes, this is important and relevant. I'm going to say somewhere around 20ish as a family. I have no idea.

Late '20's?  By that time most people have seen enough of life to know what it's about.\n\nLike you say, depends on maturity.

That was 61 years ago. Anybody old enough to remember 1945 Is to old to remember anything. \n\nNow back to bed before the nurses in the nursing home find out your up and useing their computers.

There was a hugh fear of communism in the '50s and you could write about McCarthyism and the blaclisting of actors in Hollywood during this period.  The movie about Edward Murrow "Good Night and Good Luck" would explain more on this subject.\n\nAlso, in the fifties the nuclear family was the "norm" and people tried to be like "Ozzie and Harriet" - the perfect family.  That could be another essay.\n\nOr the economic advantages of the generation in the 50s, where homes and cars were affordable, and these families went up within the middle class.\n\nBest wishes.

My favorite decade is the 1970's or the 1940's. I wasn't alive or anything, but they seem like fun era's. ;)
