Generation

What comes to your mind when you hear the word generation?

Remember from one generation to the next generation? In the scripture, those who witnessed all the marvelous acts yet murmured and even tried to … were subjected to forty years of hardship in the wilderness, marking the riddance of a complete generation, according to the scripture. Hence, a generation means forty. Or, in this context, forty years. There are other different meanings of the word generation with reference to a different context or usage. Often, we interpret the meaning of a word in a sentence or statement according to context or usage because a single word may have more than one meaning. One typical example is the word turnover. Whereas turnover implies staff attrition in different context, it also implies return on investment or simply, the degree of productivity in different usage.

Century

First, one hundred years make a complete century. While fifty years make half a century. It’s worth mentioning that ten years make a decade. Therefore, there are ten decades in a century. Let’s go to century usage in terms of twentieth or twenty-first century and how it’s determined. Let’s use the current century, 21st century as an example. Currently, we are in the twenty-fifth year of the twenty-first century (2025). Counting from year one to 2000 years, we can derive twenty centuries. However, because of the twenty-five years on top of 2000, it’s referred to as twenty-first century to account for the running century after twenty centuries (2000 years) plus twenty-five years (2025) (the current one-quarter of a century almost over on December, 2025).
