Introduction edit

Hi I am Thefiveofus and I am editing the article Generation. Specifically I will be adding in the category of Arab countries generations.

Proposal to edit Generation article edit

I will be adding to the current wiki page on generation with examples of generations in other countries. I am going to create a sub category that is for all Arab countries. From there I will find a examples of different generations of youth among Arab countries. If there is a specific category that I find that encompasses all of the youth in Arab worlds I will then create a different wiki page that expands on the idea of those youth in general.


In creating the subcategory I will focus on similar topics that the Generation article focuses on such as etymology, family and social interactions and tensions among that generation. I will be focusing on identifying main Arab countries that have generational differences from previous generations.


If I am able to find terminology that represents all the youth of Arab countries I will create a different page linking to the generation wiki page. I would be adding to both pages because both would be very similar but also follows the same structure that the generation wiki page currently has. It identifies the youth of a specific country, and then links to a different page on the topic of all youth under that category.
