Abstract
In analyzing the term "lost generation", I came to the conclusion that it is used by people of all ages who live in different parts of the world and in different chronological periods. Through this work I will try to present a concept and show what different people have to do with the term "lost generation", who is the "lost generation", how it got "lost" and what meaning does contain.
Biological persons born within a specified period of time are considered members of a certain "generation", but from a psychological point this doesn't have to be the point. Not necessarily all persons born in a certain chronological age are "group", but only certain individuals.
One doesn't have to be born in a particular year or decade to be a member of a certain generation. That division can only be conditional.
We cannot say that virtually all members of a generation are "lost", but only when a certain type of crisis covers most representatives of a particular group. The meaning of the term "lost generation" varies from one country to another.
