- Wikipedia defines the term to be “a difference of opinions between one generation and another regarding beliefs, politics, or values.”
- In layman’s terms, this leads to differences in opinions most often between parents and children and grandparents and children.
- In this sense, the generation gap morphs into a generational clash.
- This generation gap arises due to the evolution of time.
- Older generation people have limited access to technology and gadgets thus their way of thinking differs from the younger generation people.
- The modern ideas of the current generation are opposed to the traditional views of the previous one.
- The belief systems of both are vastly different as well, leading to a gap.
- Lack of healthy and proper communication between generations may also lead to a generation gap.
- Generational gaps sometimes may lead to difficulties in relationships within a family.
- Thus, each generation must learn to respect each other’s opinions and resolve conflicts.
