Abstract
Our parents, born during The Glorious Thirty, lived the first years of their life in a society still untouched by oil crisis, very prosperous but so rigid and socially unfair. They grew up with the appearance and early spread of HIV, and lived in the uncertainties caused by the Cold War… However, life was quieter, slower and less stressful; people felt more solidary with one another. It was not impossible to dream of spending the whole life in a small pavilion in a quiet residential suburb.
Our generation was born between the Chernobyl disaster and the Kyoto Protocol when the irreparable damages caused to the environment worldwide began to be taken into account. My classmates and I became really conscious of the world around us with the attacks of 09/2001 and the Iraq war: economic and geopolitical tensions were increasing. Hence, this world is constantly changing: the nomadism and urbanization progress everywhere. Everything is faster and globalized, especially through the development of internet and other communication technologies. These new technologies can sometimes enslave and isolate us but they also allow the emergence of a more libertarian way of thinking, more open-minded, especially toward women.
