Generation Gap - An Interesting Concept
While generation gap is usually a cause of conflict between children and their parents, it is actually an interesting concept. People born in different ages are different from each other in different aspects. The world is changing at a rapid pace and thus the difference between people born in different times is inevitable. For instance if we mention India, people born before independence are different from those born today. There is an enormous difference between the thinking of the 2 generations and why not ? There is a drastic difference between the entire cultural, economic and social environment the 2 are a neighborhood of.
