Hence, a Crisis is a time without much art and sophistication (for lacking adult Artists); a High a time without spirituality [and where's the problem with that?] (for lacking adult "Prophets"); an "Awakening" a time without a clue about reality [argh!] (for lacking adult Nomads); and an Unraveling a time without civic spirit (for lacking adult Heroes).
There is art and creativity in every turning, and I don't believe the High is a time without spirituality. The last High certainly had a decided religious vein, if in a conventional Billy Graham sort of way. Yes, the Unraveling was a time somewhat lacking in civic spirit, but I think this actually started in the 2T, when we saw the first rebellions against civic conformity (one hears a lot from Boomers about how bland and boring the 1950s were). This individualistic spirit continued into the 3T, when it entered the business and political world.
