Need help so much, please check... The propblem of the generation gap
The problem of
the generation gap has a long history and is reflected in a huge amount of literary works. It’s such an extensive problem, but it might not be a problem. What if it is the natural course of life?
A most important source of various misunderstandings and conflicts is
often the
age gap between two or more generations. This misunderstanding arises between the personalities of people
with age differences. These problematic nuances can last
for not only the teenage years, but for the whole life of
an individual. In most cases, a parent is too conservative to accept the fact that his child attitudes and beliefs
reflect the time in which one lives. Parents
base their opinions on their own experiences, ignoring
a the chance that their experience may not be relevant in the present. This creates a negative perception. In other words, it causes a conflict.
But as we know, conflict must be solved. Unfortunately, it will take a long time before family institution will get stronger and each generation will pass on the right attitude to family development. But the first thing anyone need to remember is that that you need to be open, loyal, friendly and understanding to your family. You need to be able to listen and ask the right questions.
I see the solution to the problem between generations in getting rid of
any false expectations
of your child. I strongly believe that parents should understand that their children have their
own life to live. Also, I think that the basis of any relationship is love, trust and respect. Trust does not mean lack of control. To trust means to take into account the interests of
others and to respect the choices of
others.In conclusion, I’d like to say that there’s one thing that may help parents to understand young
er generations
better. A child doesn’t need to understand you, but you should
understand your child and more importantly understand yourself. Just because you were a child and
the child is not yet an adult.
