Below is a description of each of the four turnings, including which generational archetype fills each phase of life during that type of era. We also note which generation came of age during the most recent example of each turning, and how it contributed to that era’s mood. The descriptions refer to a four-phase model of social change devised by the famous sociologist Talcott Parsons, who hypothesized that society moves into a new phase every time the availability or demand for social order rises or falls.

The Fourth Turning

Food systems have the potential to nurture human health and support environmental
sustainability; however, they are currently threatening both. Providing a growing
global population with healthy diets from sustainable food systems is an immediate
challenge. Although global food production of calories has kept pace with population
growth, more than 820 million people have insufficient food and many more consume
low-quality diets that cause micronutrient deficiencies and contribute to a substantial
rise in the incidence of diet-related obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases,
including coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Cricket was a very popular game in the British North America. The hotbed of cricket was the belt between Philadelphia & New York and it was so popular in Canada that cricket was voted the national game of Canada when Canada got it’s independence in 1867.

The game is both very British and, to Americans, very confusing. But it was once our national pastime, and its gaining fans on these shores

A look into the first ever international cricket match between United States of America and Canada at the St George's Club Ground in New York. Canada won the affair by 23 runs after restricting the USA to low scores in both innings of the two-day match, which was extended by a day courtesy a rain on Day 2.

The history of United States cricket begins in the 18th century. Among early Americans, cricket was as popular a bat and ball game as baseball. Though Americans never played cricket in great numbers, the game grew for some time.[1] Around the time of the United States Civil War, the game began competing with baseball for participants, but then slowly declined in popularity. This was followed again by a brief golden age with the Philadelphian cricket team. This lasted until roughly the start of World War I, at this time cricket again became less popular. In the latter part of the 20th century immigrants from cricket playing nations in south Asia and the West Indies helped spark a resurgence in the game's popularity. This led to participation and success in several International Cricket Council events. In 2007, the United States of America Cricket Association was suspended by the ICC because of problems with its administration, but was again recognized beginning in 2008.
