Parents say that children do not show them proper respect and obedience, while
children complain that their parents do not understand them. This phenomenon is
often referred to as the generation gap. What then are the causes of the
generation gap?
One important cause of the generation gap is
the chance that young people have to choose their way of life. In more
traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the
same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree
to, and to continue the family occupation. In modern society, young people often
travel a great distance for their education, move out of the family at an early
age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose
occupations different from those of their parents.
In the
easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than
they did: to find better jobs, to make more money; and to do all the things that
they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for
their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they
discover that they have very little in comMon with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in modern
society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional
culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in modern society, the
knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old
seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and
abilities.
No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be
a future of our life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the changes
of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.
