Question

Guys! Please help meeeeee!!!!
A difference in opinions, values, attitudes and lifestyle among people of different ages is called
'generation gap'. Due to these differences, people belonging to different generations find
themselves unable to relate to each other. This communication gap between successive
generations is not a new phenomenon. The fight between the old and the young is not new and
has been bound in the culture of every nation of the world. Parents and children across the world
have been facing this problem. Due to fast-paced modern lifestyles, parents and children hardly
find time together. The children, thus unable to express their thoughts and ideas to their parents,
turn to friends for advice who are as inexperienced as they are. In the era of globalization and
liberalization, the gap between the young the old reached its zenith.
Today's children are born into a competitive world and have a struggle to get everything. Many a
time their true potential gets overshadowed in the rat race. Parents- burdened by the expectations
of the society- end up forcing certain subjects and careers and lives that their parents have
chosen for them, children are left lost and confused. Parents, on the other hand, feel that in this
rapidly changing society where everyone is so self-centered, it is their duty to protect their
children. Parents tend to feel that their children require guidance. This cannot be denied. But their
constant monitoring makes children feel oppressed and they tend to turn rebellious.
Thus, generation gap is destroying the basic human relationship and is obviously a threat to
the social stability of family relations. It is essential for parents to talk to their children and treat
them as individuals. To be forever treated as child can be irritating and sometimes even
humiliating. Children, in turn, must reciprocate with due respect and attention. Matters such as
career, lifestyle and sensitive issues like freedom of choice of friends must be dealt with
carefully and with maturity. Love and understanding are the best antidotes to this everwidening generation gap. Only then will children look up to their parents and parents will not be
burdened with their guilt of not being there for their children in their hour of need. In this way
generation gap can at least be narrowed, if not completely filled.
