Mosaic Generation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mosaic Generation is a term used to describe those born between 1984 and 2002. The term was coined by Christian author George Barna and is mainly used within Evangelical Christian circles-- most sources refer to this generation by the name "Generation Y" or "iGeneration".

According to Barna, this generation is "very mosaic in every aspect of their life." He continues,"There's [no attribute] that really dominates like you might have seen with prior generations." Barna also describes this group as "comfortable with contradiction", "post-modern" and exhibiting "non-linear" thinking.
