Generation gap

Human beings are residing on this earth for a very long time. Each generation has its own
way of doing things. They have new ways that the older generation may not be aware of or
have never practiced. This is what exactly known as the generation gap.
The generation gap is there because mankind is evolving and changing for the better. But
sometimes this generation gap impacts our lives wrongly.
It is quite healthy and refreshing to have new ideas and ways of doing things. This shows
how we are advancing and progressing in our lives. But these ideas can be clashing
sometimes between two generations of people and become a topic of worry.
These clashes lead to distanced relations. It is usually observed between parents and kids.
Parents feel that children have become too modern as per the societal norms. Children feel
that parents do not understand their feelings.
This way conflict begins and they do not come to a particular solution. This is the biggest
mistake. Parents should not pressurize their ideas on their kids and kids should also not
outrightly reject their parent’s ideas otherwise this will lead to misunderstanding and
distanced relationships.
With a little understanding and care, we can bridge this gap. One should not give up on
relationships just because of a difference of opinion. Both parties should understand that no
one is completely wrong or right. One can reach a middle ground.Instead of making this gap
broad and broad, we should try to bridge it because it is already so wide that young people
and old people already live in two separate world without worrying about each other.
In the end, I want to say that the generation gap cannot be controlled as there are constant
changes happening in the world. But we can strengthen our bridge between the gap by
understanding each other and by never stop communicating.
