My View on Generation Gap
Nowadays, generation gap has gradually become a common phenomenon . Experiencing different time, as a result, causes the difference between parents and children in tastes, the method they deal with problems and values.
The speed of change in our society is a cause of it. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. In teenager’ eyes, their parents are out of date and conservative. They may talk with their friends more often than their parents. How to bridge the generation gap? In my opinion,the mutual respect can play an important role in avoiding conflicts. The busy parents should sacrifice their spare time to communicate with their children actively and friendly to improve their relation. At the same time, they can also observe their children's behavior in order to understand their children's personality. Besides that, the parents should try to give up their absolute power in family so as to make their children feel free to chat with them. Despite the fact that parents may be worried about the generation gap between their children and themselves. But as we all know, with time going by, children gradually grow old and ripe. And then they will come to understand their parents.。
