In modern society, there is often a hck of understanding between parents and children. Purents dislike what their children think and do, while children often complain that their parents can not understand them. This is often called generation gap.
There are some reasons for the existence of generation gap. First, the environment in which young people now living is quite different from that of their parents'. Therefore, they often hold different opinions on various problenas in life. Second, disparity in age also leads to misunderstanding. Young people want to do everything as they like, while older people often can't help interfering when they think what the young people are doing is wrong. This inevitably leads to disharmony.
In my opinion, generation gap can be bridged as long as both parents and children are willing to make efforts. They may have an open talk and tell each other what they think about certain problems. They should be considerate enough to realize that each generation has its own advantages and disadvantages. Their openness and consideration probably will result in a much better relationship between purents and children.
Generation gap
Generation gap refers to the distance and contradiction(矛盾) between the old and the youth. It’s a common(常见的) phenomenon(现象) that exits everywhere in the world and influences both the old and the youth.
Generally speaking, generation gap results in different understanding and appreciation of the great and constant(固定的) changes of the world, different reaction to new things, and different attitudes to tradition(传统) principles(原则) and beliefs. Therefore, we may say where there are the old and the youth; there is the generation gap.
Generation gap is natural, but very influential(有影响的). If we cannot deal with it appropriately(适当地), the gap will be greater and the greater and consequently(结果) affect the work and the relation between the old and the young.
