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.

Generation gap is that the term given to the difference between two generations. The society changes at a constant pace and hence the lifestyle, ideologies, opinions, beliefs and the overall behavior of people also undergoes change with time. This change gives way to newer ideas and breaks the unreasonable stereotypes and this in turn has a positive impact on society. However, most of times it becomes a cause of conflict between two generations.

The parent child relationship is usually affected thanks to their generation gap. It has been observed that the parents try to impose their values and ideologies on their kids while the later wants to explore the world on their own. Many relationships have suffered due to generation gap. Several parents and children have conflicts because of their difference of opinion which they must understand is natural as there is a generation gap between them. 

Conclusion
