OK explain them.  What role do they play and why is this important?

A dominant generation is one that exercises an independent role during their first social movement, a role which they then carry on into midlife.  A recessive generation is one that play a dependent role (either child or midlife) during their first social moment, and compensates for that in the next.  

Consequently, dominant generations end up exerting influence in the public sphere (rhetoric and values, technology and institutions), whereas recessive generations compensate for their dependent role by exerting a commensurately greater influence on the private world of human relationships.
