I've recently begun to think that as the current elder generation moves on from this life that the 'issues' of our society will drastically change. I thought for a while that may be just the position on the same issues would shift, but quite possibly this issues themselves may be what shifts.

These are very broad and not scientific, but I add these thoughts to the conversation.
“Your generation” issues:
Homosexuality
Universal Truth
Hell/Heaven Dichotomy (soul sorting)
Liberal/Conservative (Red/Blue)
Community as face to face time
Women in ministry
Pro-choice/Pro-life
“My generation” issues:
Ecology
Bioethics
Fair Trade
Innovation
Health Care
Rebuilding things
Pluralism
Secularism
Global Village creation
