Generations and global change

Article Abstract:

An alternative approach is presented to illustrate the influence of generations in global evolutionary process, specifically long-term economic and social processes. The approach identifies K-waves, long cycle, democratization and great cultural waves of the global system as four processes that reflect the spectrum of motivational priorities facing global system members. The approach reveals that generational cycle is a learning process that becomes operational during a person's first stage of life, which is molded by the major events of the period like global conflict and economic crisis.

A reply to Berry, Modis and Modelski

Article Abstract:

Scholars George Modelski, Theodore Modis and Brian Berry had misinterpreted a research work that involves a finding that billows can be explained using a simple differential-difference equation system. Contrary to Modelski's criticism, the research involving billows has a long analysis of the generational conceptualizations and the differences between Family Biological Generations, Family Social Generations and Societal Historical Generations. It also effectively illustrates the origin of Ferrari's long and short recurrences.

Generational explanation of long-term "billow-like" dynamics of societal processes

Article Abstract:

A partially formalized version of a theoretical framework was considered to effectively assessed the paradigm of long-term societal processes. The framework includes a generational time lag called Societal Historical Generation (HSG) that is equivalent to the life lapse of people in which they are motivated to interact with their contextual, social and habitual processes. Solutions with 'billow lengths' were derived for the first three oscillatory modes.
