Résumé anglais Periodically, but with an undeniable constancy, societies re-stage the eternal debate on the question of generations. Inheritance, property transfers, relations, but also cultural transmission and the reproduction of social order or as is frequently the case nowadays, generation as a force of change, the word conceals numerous approaches. This paper addresses the question of generations with regard to the transformations of the system of values of modern societies. According to R.lnglehart, post-materialistic values are progressively winning over from materialistic values. At the heart of this process which is taking place with implacable force : the renewal of generations. But isn't there a risk of confusing cohort and generation when scorning the «social differences» which profoundly divide and differentiate those who have nothing more in common than being born during the same period.
