Paragraph On Generation Gap
The generation gap is a popular term
used to describe people of a younger generation and their elders,
especially between a child and his or her parent's generation. The term became
popular first in Western countries during the 1960s and thus described the
cultural differences between the young and their parents. Although some
generational differences have existed throughout history, because of more
rapid cultural change during the modern era, differences between the two
generations increased in comparison to previous times, particularly with
respect to such matters as musical tastes, fashion, culture, and politics. The
gap between the old and the young is called the generation gap. It is the
difference in attitude, priorities, and views among generations. As to the
different attitudes of life, the 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 well-behaved, obedient, and had greater respect
for elders. Young people, on time other hand, feel that they are capable enough
on their own rather than depending heavily on the older generation for any
guidance. Young people do not like to be spoon-fed by their elders.
