THE BIG DIVIDE
Do you get on with your parents and grandparents?
Or do you think they don't understand you and your generation?
There has probably always been conflict between different generations but today
perhaps there is more. Some researchers say the generation gap started to grow wider
in the 1940s. Changes in employment and education meant people started marrying
later. For the first time in history, the majority of people could enjoy their youth
without the responsibility of a young family.
Today, young people are generally more interested in technological and cultural
innovations than their parents, and there have been huge changes in the world we live
in over the last sixty years. Parents of today's teenagers didn't grow up with the
Internet, social-networking sites, mp3 players and mobile phones. Instead they grew
up with tape recorders, videos and video games, things their own parents probably
found new and strange in turn. Technology is changing so fast that some sociologists
think there will soon be mini-generation gaps: people who are fifteen now will
probably have a different technological experience to those who will be fifteen in five
years' time.
But the generation gap is about more than an attitude towards technology. People
at various stages in their lives have particular goals. Young people want to explore
the world, take chances and push boundaries. As people get older they become more
focused on their careers, in finding security and then in bringing up a family.
Teenagers also spend more of their time with other young people and want to be
away from the home environment, trying new pursuits and socialising. This is natural
and it is the way people learn social skills outside the family. But problems can
develop when parents don't show an interest in what their children are doing, or if
their job means they don't spend much time at home. If each generation focuses on
their own interests, there can be a breakdown in communication.
The way to avoid this breakdown is to recognise its causes. Both sides have to
treat the other as independent. So, if you want to be understood by your parents then
start by talking to them with respect. Explain things. Don't treat them as idiots
because they don't understand technology, or don't like your music or fashion sense.
If you want independence, show your parents you can behave responsibly. Parents, of
course, have to adapt, too. They need to show an interest in you and not shut their
eyes and ears to new things. They must respect your growing independence. If both
generations take these steps, the gap might not disappear completely, but it will
certainly get a lot smaller.
