    Generation Gap

    The generation gap is represented by the differences between the young and the old

    that can lead to conflicts and can complicate the relationship between the two.

    Generation gaps occur when two age groups see the world from significantly different

    perspectives.

    As to the different attitude towards life, people belonging to the old generation always

    wonder what has gone wrong with the new generation. They feel that during their time,

    young boys and girls were better behaved, more obedient and had more respect for

    elders. Young people, on the other hand, feel that they are capable to learn on their

    own and that they don’t need to rely on the older generation for guidance. Young

    people do not like to be spoon-fed by their elders.

    Generation gap issues can be solved through discussion and interaction. Older people

    should admit to the competence of the young, whereas youngsters should express their

    opinions respectfully. Therefore, people from both age groups should realize that every

    individual has positive and negative traits, as well as some limitations.
