Generation gap

What is the Generation Gap? It is often discussed phenomenon.
Typical example is time of return of child from town in the evening. The child would actually stay with friends to midnight, but parent requires him to get home by half to ten. Here starts the misunderstanding. Child doesn’t see a problem here, he/she isn’t afraid to go home at night, and when he is, it’ll get some friends to see him out.

Parents, however, see this from aspect of security of their own child. And, because parents worry about their child more than child worries about himself. Greater problems develop when the parent doesn’t explain his requirements, and just give orders. Sometimes fear of parents is unreasonable.

The other problems are connected with parents opinions about fashion, free time, friends, lifestyle and some things that parents think their child is too young for. For example some parents don’t understand how can their child spend so much time at the computer. They say that in their childhood they used to do different things. Today’s lifestyle differs, and entertainment is different too. Parents have to get used to weird music, horrible movies and other unpleasant things that their children love.

Another type of conflicts are problems regarding school and profession. It its obvious that children are not responsible and they don’t care about their future. Parents want the best for their child and want them to have a happy future.

Arguments between the generations are common enough, especially quarrels about subjects such as lack of responsibility, money, behavior, knowledge and experience. The elders expect the young to learn how to live within their means, that is, not to waste their money. But who can decide what is or is not necessary, and when the money is misused?

The old often assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a little longer. They do not like when their values are questioned and want the young to respect them. But should the young people blindly accept the ideas and ideals of their elders? Is more age always a reason for respect? Aren’t the children sometimes ashamed of their parents’ behavior? The comment which is repeated from generation to generation sounds: "The young are not what they were", and there is an urgent need to solve the "youth problem". But, again: Who and what has changed the young?
