my generation is the third generation of revolution and it has deep deferences with 1st and 2nd. I try to list some:
1- we are more communicative with foreign people due to better knowledge of English language and being familiar with recent technologies.
2- this generation is a lot more informed about lots of things due to wide-spread availability of philosophical and political books during last decade.
3- more secular people can be seen among this generation.
4- my generation is about 50% of those who can vote and 30% of the whole population. so we have great affect on country's future.
5- older customs are extremely under question of younger people here.
6- younger intellectuals are extremely active in political issues, whether in favor or opposite to government.
7- more and more jobs are granted to younger people with university degrees everyday even without enough experience (including me), and we're advancing fast in science and technology due to this brave replacements.

US, Japan, China, South Korea and most of European countries, mostly by younger people. in general, our people are hospitable to foreign people. we (people like me) are studying the ways that led industrial countries to their current state of stability.
