Generation Gap : Difference in values and attitudes between one generation and another, especially between young people and their parents.
Today’s world is changing at a rapid tempo, and this is causing people born in different ages to distance themselves from one another. For example, if we consider India before and after independence, the change is massive. With this change, comes the shift in people’s thinking pattern and opinions. This gap of generation is also affected by the whole drastic change in the economic, social environment, and cultural status.
The most troubling relationship due to this generation gap is the child-parent relationship. It has been observed that both the parents and the children have stopped communicating with each other. The main reason behind this is that both the generation thinks that the other generation finds it difficult to understand. If we keep ignoring this stuff, the generation gap will keep on increasing creating a lot of problems.
