Civic children grow up after a spiritual awakening, highly protected and nurtured. The focus on their upbringing is cooperation, conformity, and community service. Societal mores are governed by their Idealist elders, so there are clear lines of right and wrong, and far less flexibility toward mischievous and criminal behavior. While there are certainly differences between the early-born and last-wavers of this generation, they will generally be more cohesive and unified relative to common goals and actions. As rising adults, they will rally around the leadership of Reactives during a secular crisis, and become good "foot soldiers," no matter what type of secular crisis is faced. They will enthusiastically support a war declared by Idealists and lead by Reactives; they will work tirelessly to solve any economic crisis, and they will solve environmental problems through science. As midlife adults, they will begin the tasks of building or revamping secular institutions, assuming leadership roles in business and government. Civics are appreciated by all other generations, perceived as smart "doers"; their senior years will continue to be active and busy, sustaining what they have built and achieved. Unfortunately, there is a rising group of Idealists coming to attack all that they have achieved, and they pass away worried that they have not left enduring endowments to their nation. Politicians Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy were Civics.
