    The preference given to the eldest² son and his descendants in the
inheritance of property, or position, or both, is called primogeniture.
The opposite of primogeniture is ultimogeniture -- preferential
inheritance by the youngest son or child. The Stature³ of Wills, which
became part of the English law in 1540, made it possible by will to
negate⁴ primogeniture.

    In the 60s and 70s, many young people in the West argued bitterly
with their parents over almost every topic of discussion: civil rights,

length of hair. Those young people are often referred to as the "Me
Generation."
