I was in first grade when the Berlin Wall fell and I remember my teacher trying to explain to us why it was such a big deal.

Yes (normal)

Normal literally: I'd expect the majority of people alive today were born between 1945-1989.

I'll go with Yes (1988), though it could be argued it was over by then.

I was born roughly at the height of 'America' at least in the sense of the well-being of most of its people.  Its been all downhill since the late sixties.

Yes, though it can be argued that by then (1986) it was coming to an end.
